Special configurations with multi-pitch profiles for modular ceilings
The 3700mm Easy T24 profiles of the Atena Steel Strong range are also available with variable pitch slots, a great option to create special configurations with customized panels for all modules including the international ones such as Imperial, DIN and French. The system is made up with Atena Easy Hook, simple to install, safe and stable.
The Atena Steel Strong range of structures for fiber and metal panels is now absolutely complete even in international sizes; and in addition to the standard colors, special anti-corrosion and antibacterial treatments are available for high-performance results in all application fields such as hospitals, schools, shops, swimming pools, sports centers and hotels.

SPECIAL CONFIGURATIONS WITH CUSTOM MADE MODULES
All the beauty of the multi pitch profile lies in the configurability of the Easy holes with a customized pitch: endless possibilities with custom made modules.
This photo render shows an example of laying pattern. A floating metal ceiling with a backlit groove, made up of Easy T24 main profiles with variable pitch and standard 1200 and 600 mm cross T profiles, usually available in stock. Metal ceiling, in fact can be framed and adjust in size with perimeter shutters, metal or plasterboard veils.
When standard cross T cannot be used due to specific project requirement, custom made ones can always be made.
In such case, at the design phase, 400mm is the minimum size for the cross T profiles and 1800mm is the maximum for the secondary ones.
On the proposed island, cross T profiles 1200 and 600 mm will be cut on site, to be install at wall angles; and to make the system stable and safe the use of a 25x42x18 mm “C” profiles with Easy Anti-seismic brackets is recommended. Easy Antiseismic brackets stabilize the T profiles at wall angles assuring the necessary mobility for adjustments.
Main profiles were used, both longitudinally and orthogonally, to solve the departure and visually interrupt their long lines.
The modules can be made with press-folded metal panels Atena Plan, lowered elements with right corners such as 24 Linear Tegular (R9R) or composite sheets that maintain flatness even in conditions of large surfaces. Finally, the application of LED strips to T24 profiles using special fixings makes the system smart also from the lighting point of view.
HOW TO DESIGN A FALSE CEILING WITH MULTI-PITCH MAIN PROFILES AND CUSTOM MADE LENGTH?
The steps to calculate the EASY T24 and EASY LINE modules are really simple: because the main T profile can be made with variable pitch and punctual measurement without necessarily respect the alley of the multiple scheme.
So: if the first slot is 250mm from the hook, the second could be 725mm away from the first; the length of the main profiles will therefore be customized according to the laying pattern, while the panels’ dimensions can be freely chosen according to the flatness and flexural strength features of the chosen material.

BRIEFLY
To configure the system start from the size of the area, considering the position of the main profiles and the possibility to use secondary and standardized cross T; Proceed by identifying a pattern that can be repeated several times to cover the entire area, optimizing the elements’ customizations. The recommended configuration therefore includes a main T profiles with customized length, variable pitch and standard secondary and cross T.
MAIN T: custom made lengths | Variable pitch holes (no multiple constraints) | Installation also allowed as a Cross T.
CROSS T: custom made lengths (from 400 to 1800 mm) | Fix pitch holes.
WALL ANGLES
The perimeter frame represents an important element both for the aesthetic and for the functional safety of the system, let’s go into the details of the proposed solutions.
For EASY T24 we recommend the use of a “C” perimeter profile 25x42x18 mm “L” 30×30 | 25×25 mm with Easy Anti-seismic brackets that act by friction only, keeping the T-profiles aligned, preventing the panels from falling even in the event of an earthquake.
With EASY LINE for a refined and elegant effect, it is possible to use the main profile with bevels only on the side corresponding to the coupling of the profiles, you will get a wall angle having exactly the same appeal of the structure.
Notes for suspensions and fixings: like all T systems, suspend the main profiles at a distance of 900 mm; the first hanger will always be placed at a distance of no more than 300 mm from the perimeter. Verify distances and hanger models according to the load at m2 the antiseimic report when provided. The fastening must be checked with regard to the loads, the anchoring base features and the installation accuracy, in order not to compromise the stability of the metal ceiling system. Lightings, accessories and systems must not weigh on the metal ceiling system, but must be independently suspended.
