The Role of Structural Ceilings in the White Space of Data Centres

Description

Structural Ceilings are more than a ceiling, they are an innovative system which has been specifically designed & engineered for the Data Centre sector and they are now a crucial component within the white space of data centres. Structural Ceilings serve a dual purpose: Firstly, acting as plenum which enhances airflow, as it allows for the distribution of cool air and the efficient removal of hot air, contributing to optimal cooling & energy efficiency within the data centre.

Secondly, they function as a high strength platform for the attachment and suspension of critical infrastructure & heavy equipment. Structural Ceilings empower ceiling supported containment, partitions, cable trays attachment, surface-mounted mechanical & electrical equipment. The suspension of these infrastructure components allows for better equipment placement and efficient use of the available space within the data hall.
