Product Criteria

Design requirements

Polyfon Mesh™ provides a creative mask to the plenum, roof, floor or soffit above, which remains open to air circulation and lighting options. Its open-cell design allows visibility into the plenum for security in airports and other transport hubs.

Polyfon Mesh™ is simply installed into exposed grid suspended ceiling systems, whether a new installation or a retro fit.

Its lightweight construction compared to other heavier open-cell materials allows for lighter seismic ceiling requirements. In the unlikely event of dislodgement during an earthquake, its soft composition will not harm any occupants.

Made in NZ for short lead times, installation and replacements.

This product is designed to be mounted into a two-way exposed grid system and installed to manufacturer’s, AS/NZS 2785:2020 Standard and AWCINZ Code of Practice requirements.
