Gridlok
Description

Whether a grid ceiling is large, heavy or high, the need for effective back bracing is extremely important. The need to provide a tested and consistent bracing solution is essential. Gridlok provides consistent performance, every time and is available for two way exposed grid and concealed grid systems.

  • Gridlok GRD-10 for two way and drywall suspended grid ceiling system.
  • Gridlok GRD-10S for concealed grid system using Top Cross rail.
  • Gridlok GRD-10F where connection to the furring channel is required.
  • Gridlok GRD-10U where connection to U profile is required.
  • Gridlok GRD-10C where connection to C channel is required.

The patented Gridlok connection saddle provides a solid bond to the grid system. It also features the ability to rotate the brace footprint through 360° meaning service clashes are easily avoided.

Download the specification sheet and work with Gridlok and a seismic ceiling designer to produce a quality finish.
