Aluminum Strip V-Type Ceiling

The V-type gives the broadest standard faces in the Jawdah strip range. Its strips, 150V and 200V, are profiled so that the joints between them form a distinct V-shaped line, producing a bold linear rhythm that suits large concourses, halls and covered outdoor areas.

Jawdah Industrial Co. Ltd. manufactures V-type strips in aluminium alloy 3005 or 3105, 0.5 mm thick as standard with 0.6 and 0.7 mm available, in 110 colours, with a plain or perforated face, together with the V-carrier and border angles.

Wide strips reduce the number of joints per metre and make a ceiling read as calm, generous planks. The V-type adds a pronounced V-shaped joint, so each line is clearly drawn even at the 200 mm width. That combination works in spaces with long sight lines, such as airport piers, mall promenades, exhibition halls and canopies.

Wide strips also make it straightforward to integrate linear lights or slot diffusers between them.

The system consists of the V-type wide strip aluminium panel, the V-carrier and the border or wall angle. V-carriers, 4000 mm long and made of hot-dip galvanised steel 0.55 mm thick, are hung and levelled across the strip direction. The strips clip onto the carrier at their profiled edges, and border angles 4000 mm long in the panel material, L-angle or U-angle shaped, finish the perimeter.

Note that this strip V-carrier is the 150V/200V carrier of the strip suspension range and is a different item from the V-carrier used for the baffle ceiling.

Jawdah supplies V-type strips, the 150V/200V carrier and the border angles as one matched system. The V-Type Strip Ceiling Technical Data Sheet and the Metal Ceiling System Catalogue are available on request, and the installation manual and test reports are available in hard copy.

Class 0 under BS 476, humidity resistance up to 1000 hours to ASTM D 2247 and light reflectance above 0.8 to ASTM E 1477-98 are raw-material statements for the aluminium strip. They do not rate the installed ceiling, and they do not apply to the galvanised V-carrier. No sound absorption coefficient is given for the perforated V-type.

Match face width to space: 200 mm planks in large volumes, 150 mm in medium rooms. Run strips along the main axis of movement to emphasise length, and coordinate linear lights to replace a strip or sit between strips so the V-joint rhythm stays unbroken. In canopies, check edge details and exposure with the Jawdah team.

Where a quieter ceiling is needed in part of the area, perforated V-type strips can be used in those zones while plain strips cover wet areas or areas that must be easy to clean.

Clean the wide faces with mild detergent and a soft cloth along the strip length. For access, unclip a strip from the V-carrier and refit it in the same position; because the strips are wide, one strip often gives enough opening for inspection of the void.

V-type strips are held only by the 150V/200V carrier from the strip ceiling suspension range, made of hot-dip galvanised steel complying with ASTM A 653.

Jawdah lists bathrooms, kitchens, wet areas, halls, outdoor bottom covering, hospitals, shops, offices, airports and exhibition centres for the V-type. The perforated option is aimed at offices, corridors, public buildings, transport areas, shopping centres and fit-out projects that need acoustic comfort.

The 200V is typically chosen for large halls and canopies where wide planks keep the pattern in scale; the 150V suits mid-size spaces such as lobbies, clinics and retail units.

Install perimeter angles, then hang and level the V-carriers at right angles to the strips. Clip strips progressively, checking that the V-joints stay straight with a string line. Support cut ends on the border angle and keep perforated strips dry. The installation manual is available in hard copy.

Errors with the V-type usually relate to carrier confusion or thickness.

The defining values of the Jawdah V-type strip ceiling are summarised below.

Values are taken from the Jawdah V-type data. Fire, humidity and reflectance lines refer to the raw material.

The V-type offers the widest faces, 150 and 200 mm, with a pronounced joint. The C-type gives a flat closed plane on 100 or 200 mm modules, and the R-type uses a 16 mm infill for 100 or 150 mm faces at 0.45 mm.
