Ceiling: Generic Design Options
322.2
FINISHED CEILING
The three generic design options for the finished ceiling will permit the use
of most conventional ceiling materials. Two types of product are not
recommended, however; these are products involving wet trades (such as
plaster) and those with exposed grids. (See Section 321.4.)
Each of these options offers different advantages, but the rest of the
system is basically unaffected by the selection. Certain options may be
used in combination provided they involve partitions of the same height.
322.2.1
Option 1: Continuous Ceiling, Directly Applied to the Underside of
the Platform
In those areas of the hospital where there is no requirement for a variety
between most of the adjoining spaces with acoustically absorbent ceilings
is no more than STC 40, and where relocation of partitions is likely to
occur frequently, this detail is the preferred option, since it is the least
costly both in terms of first cost and for alterations.
The finished ceiling is glued to the underside of the platform and the
partition head is fixed to the platform through the finished ceiling.
