                    Summary

                    Metal bulkheads are a durable, hard wearing and versatile means of linking ceilings to other building elements.

                    • Can incorporate all service functions including lighting, air extraction and so on
                    • Prefabricated offsite allowing for lower installation costs compared to traditional methods
                    • Can reduce site wastage when compared to wet trades
                    • Provides considered design features whilst maintaining continuity with the ceiling finish

                    Access

                    Service bulkheads allow complete access throughout a building as desired. They can be designed to integrate any services such as lighting, CCTV, signage, sprinklers and smoke detectors.

                    System Weight

                    Service bulkhead systems will vary in weight, depending on specification and project requirements. Bulkheads incorporating lighting and other electrical services will have significantly higher loads.


                    Please contact our technical design team for best practice guidance.

                    Bulkhead Closure Panel Detail
