About SAS130
A lay-in metal tile system on an exposed grid. Tiles lift straight out of the grid for full access to the ceiling void, so it suits offices, labs and data centres where services need regular maintenance. Available as a flush (Alugrid) or tegular (Tee grid) finish, plain or perforated with acoustic backing.
