Edge Details
What is an edge
detail?
Edge detail refers to the edge shape of a ceiling panel and how it
fits into a ceiling suspension system.
Are there different types of
edge detail?
Yes, there are three basic types: Square Edge (SQ), Shadowline
(SL), and Fineline (FL). Square Edge is the most basic detail where
a panel is cut straight (or square) on all four sides. This allows
a panel face (or surface) to rest on top of the grid flange.
Shadowline is a routed edge that allows the panel face to rest
below the grid. Fineline, named for our Fineline box grid system,
allows the panel face to rest on the same plane as the grid. Please
refer to Selector page for additional options.
Why is there such a variety in
edge detail?
Various edge detail allows for variety and versatility in the look
of a ceiling. Create breathtaking designs by simply selecting
different edge detail.
Do all edge details work with
all CGC suspension systems?
Edge details are designed to work with specific suspension systems.
Q: Are all edge details available with all USG ceiling panels? A.
Edge details are available on most CGC ceiling panels.
Is there an extra charge for
edge detail?
Yes. Since these panels are specially manufactured, they are
slightly more expensive that square edge panels.
Are edge details available
with color panels?
Yes, edge details are available with various color panels.
What CGC suspension
systems work well with edge details?
Ceiling panels with a Square Edge combine well with 15/16", 9/16",
or 1 1/2" suspension system profiles. Panels with a Shadowline Edge
only work with 15/16" suspension system profiles. Panels with a
Fineline Edge are ideal for Fineline grid and 9/16" suspension
system profiles. On face-routed panels (Pedestals) the Interline
Tapered Edge (ILT) works well with 9/16" grid.
