Galvanized Steel (GI) Ceiling Panels
ZenLine Linear 84R Galvanized Steel Ceiling Panels feature precision-formed round-edge profiles designed for a refined architectural appearance. Each panel measures 84 mm in width and 15 mm in depth, with lengths available up to approximately 5 metres.
Manufactured from 0.45 mm or 0.50 mm TCT galvanized steel as per IS 513, the panels are securely fixed onto compatible ceiling carriers. The exposed surface can be supplied with powder-coated or coil-coated finishes to meet project design requirements.
For extended ceiling runs, compatible 84R panel couplers connect adjoining panels while maintaining continuous linear alignment.
Aluminium Ceiling Panels
ZenLine Linear 84R Aluminium Ceiling Panels provide a lightweight architectural ceiling solution with distinctive round-edge profiles. Each panel has a nominal width of 84 mm, a depth of 15 mm, and a maximum length of approximately 5 metres.
The panels are manufactured from 0.65 mm TCT aluminium alloy AA 8011-H3 and are designed for secure installation onto compatible metal ceiling carriers.
The exposed surface can be finished with powder coating or coil coating. Where two panels need to be connected, suitable 84R panel couplers provide continuity across longer ceiling installations.
Surface Coating & Paint Finish
ZenLine Linear 84R Metal Ceiling Panels are available with protective surface finishes designed to enhance coating adhesion, decorative appearance, and surface durability.
Coil-Coated Finish: The metal substrate undergoes chromate pretreatment to promote bonding between the metal and paint. It is then coated and cured at high temperature on a continuous paint line. The exposed surface receives primer and finish coats, while the inner side receives a primer and protective backing coat.
Powder-Coated Finish: Panels can be supplied with an approximately 50-micron powder coating on the exposed surface, providing a smooth decorative finish for architectural applications.
Perforation Pattern 1 – Regular Arrangement
ZenLine Linear 84R Perforated Metal Ceiling Panels are available with a regular perforation pattern combining two hole diameters.
- Perforation Diameter: Combination of 4 mm and 2 mm
- Centre-to-Centre Spacing: 7 mm
- Perforation Arrangement: Regular pattern
This perforation option can be considered for projects requiring a patterned metal ceiling appearance and compatibility with suitable acoustic inlays.
Perforation Pattern 2 – Diagonal Arrangement
The ZenLine Linear 84R Ceiling System also offers a diagonal perforation arrangement for an alternative architectural surface pattern.
- Perforation Diameter: 2 mm
- Centre-to-Centre Spacing: 7 mm
- Perforation Arrangement: Diagonal pattern
When combined with a suitable acoustic inlay, perforated panels can support sound absorption requirements in commercial and institutional interiors. Acoustic performance depends on the complete ceiling assembly.
Flush Profiles & Joint Finishing
ZenLine Linear 84R Flush Profiles are designed to close the spaces between adjacent round-edge ceiling panels, creating a more continuous and uniform linear appearance.
Manufactured from 0.50 mm galvanized steel or aluminium, the flush profiles are available in lengths up to 2.4 metres.
The profiles are inserted into the 16 mm gap between panels, allowing designers to choose a closed-joint appearance where required.
Suspension & Installation System
The ZenLine Linear 84R Metal Ceiling System uses a suspended carrier arrangement designed to support accurate panel positioning and a consistent linear ceiling appearance.
The carrier is suspended from the structural slab or truss using 4 mm diameter galvanized steel rods together with powder-coated spring steel height-adjustment clips.
Suspension points are positioned at approximately 1.2 to 1.5 metres centre-to-centre, subject to project-specific installation and structural requirements.
The galvanized suspension rods are fixed to the slab using suitable roll inserts and a J-shaped rod end to form the supporting suspension assembly.
Metal Ceiling Carrier System
ZenLine Linear 84R Ceiling Carriers form part of the concealed suspension arrangement, providing support for the round-edge metal ceiling panels.
According to the supplied installation specification, the carriers are suspended from the slab or truss using 4 mm diameter galvanized steel rods and powder-coated spring steel height-adjustment clips.
Suspension spacing is approximately 1.2 to 1.5 metres centre-to-centre. The rods are secured using suitable roll inserts and J-shaped ends. Carrier profile dimensions and material thickness should be confirmed from the approved R-Series technical drawing.
Edge Profiles & Finishing Accessories
ZenLine Linear 84R Metal Ceiling Systems incorporate L-shaped edge profiles to provide clean perimeter detailing and a professional architectural finish.
These profiles are roll-formed from 0.50 mm galvanized steel or aluminium strips and can be supplied with coil-coated or powder-coated finishes in standard colors.
Edge profiles help create neat transitions between the metal ceiling panels and adjacent walls or structural surfaces, completing the overall linear ceiling installation.
