The KEELGRID system is an ideal alternative to metal. It is similar in appearance, installation procedure and functional cost to standard metal suspended ceilings. However, KEELGRID is far superior to metal for many applications because it is made of Fiberglass Reinforced Plastic, a high performance material.

In severe environments, KEELGRID is combined with frp or other types of ceiling panels to to provide a complete system that meets sanitation and corrosion resistance requirements.

KEELGRID has been installed in many types of buildings. The most comon uses are in production areas, kitchens, locker rooms, restrooms and storage areas in the following facilities:

Breweries / Beverage plants Campgrounds Canneries Chemical Plants Clean Rooms Concession Areas Correctional Facilities Dairies Fisheries

Food Processing Plants Hospitals Kennels Laboratories Restaurants Slaughter Houses Supermarkets Indoor Swimming Pools Universities

As the above photo shows, KEELGRID assembly is similar to most ceiling systems. It is easy to install because the parts are designed to clip together. Main runners are notched to receive the cross tee clip and provide proper spacing of cross tees when installing a standard 2' X 2' or 2' X 4' system. Main runners are pre-drilled on 1' centers for hanging wires. A step-by-step installation guide is shipped with each order to ensure proper installation.

Unique Triple Holding Power:

KEELGRID's unique design includes male-female ridges in the grids and clips. This gives a secure installation, making pop rivets necessary only for the more demanding applications.

Light Fixtures - Surface Mount/Drop-In:

An independant support clip is available for surface mounting. Drop-in fixtures with hinged doors should be compatible with KEELGRID's net opening of 22.75" X 46.87" or 22.75" X 22.75" for a 2X4 or 2X2 pattern respectively. Many brands of light can accommodate this requirement. A special cross tee is available that will increase the net opening between 2 cross tees to 23".

Hold Down Clip for 2" (5cm) Thick Lay-In Panels

A Non-rusting Hold Down Clip fitting Fiberglass Ceiling Grids

The new clip is made of PVC and holds 2" to 2.5" (5 to 6.5 cm) thick lay-in panels. Often these panels are laminated with 0.03" FRP on both sides of insulating foam.

Non-Rusting Hold Down Clip for Metal Ceiling Grids

Fits Most Metal Grids and Holds Down Thin Panels

• Made of non-rusting plastic - PVC
• Designed to hold down nominal 0.09" thick Fiberglass lay-in panels
• Available in custom lengths to tailor the holding power you need
• Standard, stocked length of 1.25"

Wall Clip For KEELGRID

Aids Installation of Grid

• Allows you to anchor a main runner or cross tee to the wall / wall molding
• Fits on KEELGRID Tee and has "ears" at about 90 degrees which can be riveted to wall.
• Recommended for use on Main Runner and Cross Tee bridges to Wall Molding on two adjacent walls
• Replaces conventional Splice Clip (only for the Tee-to-Wall bridge --- and only about half of these bridges)
• Shown below in a rough picture is the wall clip resting on the wall angle and clipped to a portion of a main runner tee or cross tee.

"Cloud Install" Corner Clip

We have developed this new Corner Clip in response to the recent industry trend of mounting KEELGRID as a free hanging system. This free hanging installation is also known as a Cloud Installation.

• Allows you to use Wall Molding as a grid border without attaching to wall.
• Creates a 90 degree corner.

The photo at right shows a typical corner assembly that uses the Corner Clip to tie the Wall Molding pieces together.
