The grids or gratings are available in panels sized 60 x 60 cm or 60 x 120cm formed from many strips laid at right angles to one another and inserted one after the other so as to form a lattice of the desired size. The strips can be straight or tilted or have a cubic structure. The most popular material is the aluminium or PVC grid with cells that can have internal sizes from 13 x 13 mm to 150 x 150 mm, with heights from 13 to 80 mm, and with a rectangular or square shape. The single profile grid has a thin profile that gives a subtle aesthetic effect while grids with profiles with thick profiles at the bottom and greater height give a volumetric effect with greater impact. The grids can have an exposed or completely concealed metal load-bearing structure, with a linear and continuous effect across the entire surface. The baffles ensure the features of the grid but come with profiles parallel to each other with a minimum gap of 15 mm. The interlocking "U" profiles are individually inserted into an overhead structure. The base of the profiles ranges from 15 to 30 mm with a height varying between 80 and 250 mm and a length of up to 2500 mm. The profiles can be pre-painted or post-painted with a wide range of colours by RAL, Pantone and Sikkens.
