What is the difference between aluminum and iron open cell ceiling?

Aluminum open cell ceilings and iron grid ceilings are favored choices for home decoration due to their aesthetic appeal and decorative potential.

Grille ceilings encompass various materials, among which aluminum and iron are prominent options. Both aluminum and iron grille ceilings can be efficiently produced using an Open Cell Ceiling Roll Forming Machine.

At first glance, one might assume that aluminum grid ceilings and iron grid ceilings are similar, but in reality, they have significant differences. Here’s how MASSCA distinguishes between the two:

  1. Material: Aluminum grid ceilings are made of aluminum alloy, while iron grid ceilings are made of metal. Aluminum offers better corrosion resistance and moisture-proof properties, making it suitable for use in both dry and wet environments. Iron grid ceilings require rust prevention measures due to their susceptibility to corrosion.
  2. Weight: Aluminum grid ceilings are lighter compared to iron grid ceilings. The thinnest aluminum grid is around 0.3mm, while iron grids are relatively heavier. Thicker iron grids can exert excessive weight, potentially causing support collapse. Additionally, iron grids are prone to rust in wet environments, limiting their suitability.
  3. Cost: Aluminum grid ceilings typically come at a higher cost compared to iron grid ceilings. On average, the cost of aluminum grids is approximately twice that of iron grids.
  4. Decorative Scope: Aluminum grid ceilings offer a limited decorative range but can achieve excellent embellishment effects with various colors. On the other hand, iron grid ceilings have a broader decorative scope and are often chosen for their cost-saving benefits. They are commonly used in settings such as restaurants and supermarkets.For further information on open cell ceilings, please visit our website.
