Optipanel 18 (perforated) - ceiling

Design
Clina OPTIPANEL 18 is a prefabricated gypsum board panel with an integrated capillary tube mat. The OPTIPANEL 18 are screwed onto the profiles of a substructure. On the visible side there is a seamless, perforated gypsum board ceiling for the removal or supply of sensitive heat loads. The water circulates noiselessly in the capillary tube mats and regulates the room temperature to a large extent via radiation, partly also via convection.

Gypsum board panel & Capillary tube mat
The OPTIPANEL 18 consists of a 12,5 mm perforated gypsum board panel with the hole pattern 8/18 R (further hole patterns are availble) and the Clina capillary tube mat OPTIMAT GB 18.

Length & Width & Panel thickness
Clina manufactures the OPTIPANEL 18 in the dimensions 1.998 x 1.188 mm (standard). 

Other, project-specific dimensions can also be delivered. 

The panel thickness is 12,5 mm.

Hydraulic connection
The connections between the OPTIPANEL 18 and the connection to the supply and return lines/ceiling sub-distributors are made on site using a proven push-lock system with flexible hoses. Pipes and sub-distributors are housed in the ceiling void.

Of course, the ceiling void can be used for other installations.

Mounting
The prefabricated OPTIPANEL 18 are screwed into the holes at right angles to the profiles of a substructure using Knauf-Caps.

Processing
According to the common rules of drywall. Processing of inactive areas with 12,5 mm standard gypsum board panels.

Lamps & Ventilation
Openings have to be taken into account in the planning phase.

Regulation
The system can be regulated room-by-room.

Fields of application
Suitable for the modern interior design of rooms with special acoustic requirements, such as office buildings or public buildings, whether new construction or renovation.

The prefabricated OPTIPANEL 18 are screwed into the holes at right angles to the profiles of a substructure using Knauf-Caps.

The connections of the OPTIPANEL 18 to each other as well as the connection to the supply and return lines/ceiling sub-distribution are made on site using a proven push-lock system with flexible hoses.

Pipes and sub-distributors are accommodated in the void of the suspended ceiling.

The ceiling void can of course be used for further installations.

In an perforated 12,5 mm gypsum board panel, with a hole pattern 8/18 R, parallel slots are milled on the back at a distance of 18 mm.

The capillaries of the capillary tube mat OPTIMAT GB 18, consisting of a round mat distributor pipe (20 x 2,0 mm) and capillary tubes (4,3 x 0,8 mm), are inserted into these slots.

The distance between the capillary tubes (centre-to-centre distance) is 18 mm.

The OPTIPANEL 18 is covered with a full-surface acoustic fleece backing on the back.

Cooling and heating with one system
In most buildings, the heat requirement to be covered is so low due to the well-insulated building envelope that capillary tube mats integrated invisibly in the gypsum board ceiling not only provide excellent and silent cooling in summer, but can also be used to heat very comfortably and energy-efficient in the cold season.

High degree of prefabrication
Factory prefabrication ensures quality, function and thermal performance.

Good acoustics
This ceiling design enables optimised room acoustics, as the acoustic values of the perforated gypsum board panels remain unchanged.

Easy retrofitting
Can be screwed onto an existing substructure. The hydraulic connection is made in the ceiling void. Activation does not increase the ceiling load.

Quick and easy installation
The hydraulic connection is made using a proven push-lock system. This design can be installed completely in the drywall work, which ensures a smooth process on the construction site.

Individual room control
The temperature can be regulated room-by-room.
