Securing Spaces with Metal Ceilings
Designing and specifying metal security ceilings for secure environments
Sponsored by Gordon
Metal Security Ceilings are commonly specified in commercial buildings for their durability, fire resistance, moisture resistance, hygienic qualities and minimal maintenance, etc. Metals are often made from recycled materials, have long lifespans and are fully recyclable, making them a sustainable choice. These advantages make metal preferable in secure environments where durability, sustainability and hygiene are critical.
This AIA course teaches participants to design and specify secure, durable and cost-effective Metal Ceiling Security Systems for medium to high-risk environments.
