“International White” Tee Grid to meet market demand

28th April 2009

SAS International has announced the introduction of SAS "International White" Tee Grid, a robust and competitively priced product for ceiling contractors. Manufactured in the UK, the SAS Tee Grid is one of the highest galvanised steel content grid products on the market.

Double stitched for strength and rigidity, SAS Tee Grid is available in T15 and T24/joggled or butt cut. Stainless steel clips ensure the connections are strong and durable. The lightweight system can support additional loads such as services up to 3kg and is easy to install, with a strong modular appearance.

In the current climate pricing is an important consideration for any commodity product and SAS Tee Grid is one of the most cost efficient products available.

SAS International comments: "SAS identified a need to provide a new Tee Grid product to the market. The goal has been to provide customers with an excellent quality product offering outstanding value. We have invested in three new roll forming lines at our Bridgend factory to facilitate production, with a dedicated area for visiting contractors for product demonstration purposes."

Product Guarantee

SAS Tee Grid is guaranteed with any ceiling tile product providing the ceiling has been installed in accordance with BS EN 13964: 2004 Suspended Ceilings, Requirements and Test Methods and AIS Guide No1 Good Practise For The Installation of Suspended Ceilings.

SAS International understands that contractors are keen for outstanding product guarantees, critical to ensure any ceiling grid product performs and has been tested in accordance with relevant fire standards.

All SAS "International White" Tee Grid products are manufactured to ISO 9001 and 14001 international standards.

SAS Tee Grid – Time and Waste Saving Packaging

SAS Tee Grid is provided in specially designed boxes. The SAS box is opened on its face, using a perforated tab strip that is torn off. The product components can therefore be accessed through this opening, and the remainder stays safely protected in the box whilst work is carried out. This reduces damaged product costs for the user, with product items traditionally being susceptible to damage or loss on site or during transit when packaged in end-opening boxes.
