Product Expert Notes
DXLA is the go-to 15/16 in. exposed grid when fire-rated assemblies and corrosion resistance matter, such as in food processing or washdown-adjacent spaces. Match the panel edge profile (Shadowline, Square, etc.) to the grid profile you order, and lay out main tees on your tile module with cross tees at 2 ft. spacing. For healthcare or clean rooms, choose the DXACE version with gasket.
Suspend the grid per the manufacturer's installation guides, and verify hanger wire attachment to structural framing meets local building code requirements.
