Structural Ceilings

Structural ceilings are ideal for suspending infrastructure and other large heavy items in a data center. Tate structural ceilings allow you to design the support solution that is less expensive and faster to install than custom on-site systems.


Tate Grid

Tate Grid is the ideal solution for any application where large, heavy items need to be suspended within a building. Replacing custom-built, on-site structural support systems, such as Unistrut, with Tate Grid can offer many advantages. A structural ceiling allows you to design and specify the support solution in advance and, best of all, it’s less expensive and faster to install.

  • • Faster and easier to install than other grid systems

    • Grid member center-to-center spacing can be selected to accomodate your specific project needs

    • Eliminates the need for multiple trades on-site

    • Experienced data center product manufacturer and contracting teams

Tate Duo

Spans up to 8’ are possible, allowing for more flexibility and few connection points to the building structure. Tate Duo also features a two-layer continuously threaded slot on the underside of the extrusion so that multiple threaded rod diameters may be use for hanging different equipment within a building. Replacing custom-built, on-site structural support systems, such as strut, with Duo offers the most flexible solution for future configuration changes of any pre-designed ceiling solution.

  • • Multiple grid patterns and configurations are available

    • Replaces custom-built, on-site structural support systems such as strut

    • Fast and easy to install

    • Eliminates the need for multiple trades on-site

    •Experienced data center manufacturer and contracting teams


Tate Strut

Tate Strut is a strong, galvanized steel profile with a white painted finish. Uniquely integrated welded flanges support tiles, light fixtures and return air grilles—removing the need for two separate ceiling systems. The continuous open channel slot allows for full flexibility when suspending cable trays, bus bars, and other heavy accessories from the structural ceiling. Both strut main runners and structural tees are pre-drilled for infill connections based upon application specifications.

  • • 12 gauge steel construction

    • Hot dipped galvanized pretreatment with a white power coat finish

    • Continuous open top slot to accommodate connection to building structure

    • Continuous open bottom slot to accommodate connections of cable trays, bus bars, and other heavy accessories

    • Welded flange to accommodate ceiling tiles, lights and return grilles

    • Strut profile is pre-drilled for installation of light structural infill to maintain grid for installing ceiling tiles
