High-Strength 2024 Aluminum T-Bars

Yield Strength: 42,000 psi
Hardness: Brinell 120 (Medium)
Temper: T3511
Fabrication: Extruded
Specifications Met: ASTM B221, SAE AMS-QQ-A-200/3

While 2024 aluminum was initially designed for structural components in aircraft, it's now widely used when a high strength-to-weight ratio is needed. It offers similar performance to 7075 aluminum, but it’s not as strong.

Ceiling Tile Frames

Use these components to design your own frame to support ceiling tiles.

Aluminum frames are corrosion resistant and withstand higher humidity than steel.

Ceiling Tile Clips

Secure ceiling tiles or join ceiling tile frame components.

Clips for ceiling tiles keep ceiling tiles in place. Those for 1/16"-5/8" ceiling tiles are best for entryways and other drafty areas.

Clips for ceiling tile frames join ceiling tile frames and molding. Tee clips join molding to main beams and cross tees. Those for 9/16”-15/16” ceiling tile frames help you comply with ICC-ES seismic requirements when properly installed.
