easy access to the plenum without the
use of special tools.
The exposed T-Grid of Luxalon Lay-In 3

& Lay-On tiles emphasises the modular

design pattern. A more distinctive
emphasis can be provided by the use of
2
wide T-grids and 16 mm deap reveals, B

or less prominent by using 15 mm

T-grids and an 8 mm reveal.
