FALSE CEILING - PORTIFORT


The components which make up this structural system are:

 Purlings.
 Frames.
 
Front ends or lintels.
 Bracing.
 Anchorage.

 Roof.
 Skylights.
 Gutters.
 Heat insulation.

 False ceiling:                 

The false ceiling consists of 0.3-mm thick, corrugated aluminium plates and other translucent plates which coincide with the skylights on the roof. The ceiling is fixed in place with galvanised steel staples nailed to a framework of wooden strips, fixed in turn to the roof purlings. This assembly system means that the usual framing squares used for false ceilings are not necessary. The wooden strips also prevent the Fe-Al (Iron-Aluminium) dipole which causes corrosion in the presence of humidity.

In addition to the skylighting, the long list of advantages that the false ceiling on the PORTIFORT system brings includes:
     The air pocket which it creates enhances the heat efficiency of the insulation and reduces the amount of air to heat.

     The ceiling’s corrugated profiles distribute the light from the skylights more effectively inside the building.

     The ceiling conceals the roof purlings. This helps keep the inside of the building clean (a very important condition in the food sector).
