DONN Exposed Grid Ceiling System

The Rondo DONN Exposed Grid Ceiling System provides the framework for a variety of lay-in tiles including; acoustic, perforated plasterboard, PVC laminated, and metal. The DONN System includes the popular 24mm grid, and also offers a more slimline 15mm grid option to give designers an alternative grid appearance.

The well-known DONN branded Quick Release Clips (QRC) are located on the ends of Rondo DONN Cross Tees to enable fast and easy installations without the need for mechanical tools.

Transitions between exposed and concealed grid ceilings are made possible with the DONN Grid Ceilings being fully compatible with the Rondo XPRESS Drywall Grid Ceiling.
