DPF – Carton/Ceiling Grids
DPF Carton Grids create refined architectural ceilings and interior wall features using symmetrical square-grid panels that are fully load-bearing. Designed to support heavy lighting, AV equipment, cable trays and integrated services while allowing maintenance access, they deliver both structural performance and clean, contemporary aesthetics for premium hospitality and commercial interiors.
ABOUT
Dejo DPF Carton Grid Gratings are precision-engineered square-grid panels designed for high-end interior ceilings, feature walls, mechanical service zones, and commercial spaces requiring both architectural expression and structural performance.
Used extensively in European hotels, retail environments and premium commercial interiors, DPF panels offer strong load capacity, clean symmetry, and the ability to support heavy lighting, AV systems, cable runs and building services—all while maintaining an open, modern architectural aesthetic.
OVERVIEW
DPF Carton Grids use a symmetrical 2-directional mesh (e.g., 44×44 mm or 33×33 mm, depending on the model) that appears visually balanced from every angle. This consistent geometry is ideal for premium interior design where uniformity, light flow and visual rhythm matter.
Unlike lightweight decorative ceiling panels, DPF gratings are structural panels that can carry:
- Heavy lighting fixtures
- Ceiling-mounted equipment
- Service trays & conduits
- Maintenance loads (crawling position)
This makes them a perfect hybrid solution for designers seeking an architectural ceiling that doubles as an accessible, load-friendly service platform.
