II. Comparison of Four Installation Methods
1. Concealed Grid System
1. Ultimate Aesthetics: Keels are completely hidden, the panel surface is intact and uniform, and the visual effect is simple and elegant;
2. Flexible Design: Easy to achieve complex shapes such as recessed levels and arcs;
3. Good Integrity: Very suitable for modern minimalist style design;
2. Exposed Grid System
1. Convenient Installation: Standardized components, fast construction speed and high efficiency;
2. Easy Maintenance: Each panel can be easily lifted and disassembled individually for convenient inspection and maintenance at any time;
3. Economical Cost: Mature system with the lowest material and labor costs;
3. Hook-On System
1. Stable Structure: The special hook design on the panel edge closely engages with the keel, featuring strong earthquake resistance and deformation resistance;
2. Convenient Disassembly and Assembly: Perfectly combines the aesthetics of the concealed grid and the convenience of the exposed grid; a single panel can be disassembled without damage using a suction cup tool;
3. Good Load-Bearing Capacity: Suitable for installing heavy lamps or equipment;
4. Grid Frame System
1. Excellent Transparency: Does not block ventilation, fire protection, and lighting equipment, making all equipment clearly visible;
2. Enhance Ceiling Height Sense: The hollow design reduces a sense of oppression and makes the space more spacious;
3. Extremely Convenient Inspection and Maintenance: Equipment inside the ceiling is fully exposed for barrier-free inspection and maintenance;
4. Conducive to Ventilation: Good coordination with the air conditioning return air system
