Unistrut Ceiling Grid Installation

Unistrut Ceiling Grid Installation

March 1, 2022

The Ohio State University recently contacted Unistrut Midwest to design and install a ceiling grid to support overhead lighting. Typically supported by threaded rod, ceiling grids offer infinite adjustment of lighting in shops, studios, entry spaces, and more. 

There were several challenges for this project, including a sloped ceiling and thick insulation hiding the joists and mounting points above. Since our structural grids are designed using Unistrut Metal Framing products, you get all the advantages of the Unistrut System. Unistrut Ceiling grids are all bolted and require no drilling or welding, so our installation team was able to complete the project in just a few days.

Unistrut Components used to make Unistrut Ceiling Grid Systems are often very repeatable and are able to be prefabricated and shipped to the job site assembled. The repeating elements are items such as threaded rod drops, fittings, or sections of Unistrut channel. If the Ceiling Grid is a Single Plane design, Unistrut will ship the intermediate members cut to length and deburred. Pre-fabricating these components will reduce the number of on-site man-hours and allow significant improvements to the installation times.
