  • Designs

    Nelson offers a complete line of lay-in, clip-on (Torsion spring), hook-on and tab-and-slot type systems.

  • Acoustics

    Metal Ceilings are available both non-perforated (non-acoustic) and perforated (acoustic). Perforation patterns are limited only to the type of material and gauge chosen and available tooling. Presently Nelson offers more than fifty different perforation patterns ranging from diagonal (45-degree), staggered (60-degree) to straight as well as round, square and oblong holes.

    Our standard acoustical material consists of a Black pre-laminated fleece (SoundTex®) bonded to the concealed face of the ceiling panel.
