2. The installation of a ceiling by the rack panels at a price will cost higher than, for example, painting or whitewashing.
3. Impossibility of partial mounting. After installing the structure, it will not be possible to fix the communication system without complete dismantling.

There are two basic design shapes for the panels( racks) - German and Italian.

Strictly rectangular shape refers to the German type, and a small roundness - Italian. Each of the forms is widely applicable and is played in design.

Depending on how the panels are interconnected on the roof rails of the , there are three main types:

• Open ceiling rack. The design is carried out with a certain gap between the panels, with the bearing traverses becoming noticeable.
• The closed type of a rake ceiling. Panels are stacked one on top of the other using the mounting principle of the lining. With this type of ceiling coating, there is no need to use inter-racks.
• Non-slit type. The gapless rack-and-pinion ceiling is presented in the form of a monolithic surface without gaps with adjoining racks. When installing such a ceiling, use additional traverses to fix the rails on the back side.

The ideal way to transform the space of a room is to use a metal rack-type ceiling type, which, with its operational and design characteristics, has earned attention and confidence among consumers.
