Ventilated blades

The MARINE BL false ceiling blades with shutter can be made in standard or ventilated version.
The ventilated blades has a linear slot in the upper part of the shutter.
The main advantages of diffused air flow are: fewer air currents, aesthetic uniformity and energy saving.

Perforations

The false ceiling panels can be supplied in solid sheet metal or, if there are specific aesthetic or functional needs, also in perforated sheet metal.
Where necessary, a sound-absorbing layer of non-woven fabric can be applied.

This material offers several advantages:

  • Effective sound absorption
  • Pleasant aesthetic impact
  • Environmental compatibility thanks to the absence of harmful substances
  • It is not flammable

Modular structure

The modular structure of the system allows the false ceiling to be assembled quickly and easily, with few components normally available in stock.

Special executions

It is possible to carry out any customization, in terms of materials, workmanship and construction characteristics on standard products. Thanks to a flexible production system, we can supply batches with low numbers for each variant or size.

Product traceability

The product packaging contains the production batch data and all the characteristics of the false ceiling.
This allows you to easily identify the components during the system assembly phase.

Mounting accessories

The system includes a complete choice of accessories to allow the panels to be quickly assembled.

Interlocking primary structure

Item: NAV_BL_CARRIER
Material: Galvanized steel

It constitutes the load-bearing structure of the NAV-BL blades.
The blades are fitted into the profile using tabs.

L-shaped perimeter trim

Item: NAV_PFL_20_55
Material: Painted steel

Allows the perimeter support of the blades and their locking by means of a dowel spring.

Double "L" perimeter trim 20x20-55

Item: NAV_PF2L_20-20_55
Material: Painted steel

Allows the perimeter support of the blades and their locking by means of a dowel spring. Version with gap at the wall.

Double "L" perimeter trim 20x20-55 AIRGAP

Item: NAV_PF2L_20-20_55_AG
Material: Painted steel

Allows the perimeter support of the blades and their locking by means of a dowel spring. Version with gap at the wall. The slits allow the passage of air between the room and the cavity.

Materials: galvanized steel, AISI 304 and AISI 316 stainless steel.What are the differences?

Galvanized steel, AISI 304 steel and AISI 316 steel are all strong and versatile metals that are used in a variety of applications. However, there are some key differences between these materials that are important to know to make the right choice for each project.

Galvanized steel

Galvanized steel is a type of steel that has been coated with zinc to protect it from corrosion. The galvanizing process is an electrochemical process in which zinc is deposited on the surface of the steel. Zinc is a very reactive metal and forms a protective film on the surface of the steel which protects it from atmospheric agents.

Galvanized steel is a relatively cheap and easy to find material. It is also very durable and can last for many years. However, galvanized steel is not resistant to all types of corrosion. It is particularly vulnerable to galvanic corrosion, which occurs when two dissimilar metals are in contact with each other in a humid environment.

AISI 304 steel

AISI 304 steel is a type of stainless steel that contains at least 18% chromium and 10% nickel. Chromium and nickel form a protective film on the surface of the steel which protects it from corrosion.

AISI 304 steel is a very versatile material that can be used in a variety of applications. It is resistant to corrosion, rust and scratches. It is also easy to clean and maintain.

AISI 304 steel is a more expensive material than galvanized steel, but it is also more resistant to corrosion. It is a good choice for applications that are exposed to harsh atmospheric conditions or corrosive substances.

AISI 316 steel

AISI 316 steel is a type of stainless steel that contains at least 16% chromium, 10% nickel and 2% molybdenum. Molybdenum improves the corrosion resistance of AISI 316 steel in marine environments, where chlorine is present.

AISI 316 steel is a very corrosion-resistant material. It is a good choice for applications that are exposed to harsh weather conditions, such as coastal or industrial areas.

Conclusions

If you need an inexpensive, easy-to-find material that is resistant to general corrosion, galvanized steel is a good choice. If greater corrosion resistance is needed, AISI 304 steel or AISI 316 steel is the best choice. In a marine or industrial environment, AISI 316 steel is normally recommended.
