Product Detail1

Shanghai Metal Corporation is a leading manufacturer and supplier of aluminum egg crate core in China. We provide the high quality matched products and excellent services for various industries.

Aluminum egg crate core is a type of open-style metal suspended ceiling. It is constructed by interlocking aluminum alloy profiles vertically and horizontally to form a square grid pattern, creating a strong three-dimensional layered effect; it is lightweight, fire-resistant, moisture-resistant, and corrosion-resistant. The open grid design facilitates ventilation and heat dissipation, and allows for the direct exposure of mechanical and electrical conduits on the ceiling, making maintenance convenient. Surface finishes include powder coating and wood-grain transfer, with customizable colors; modular units are assembled on-site for quick installation. This system is widely used for ceilings in public spaces such as shopping malls, parking garages, exhibition halls, and corridors.

If you want to know more about our aluminum egg crate core, or other related products, please feel free to contact us, we will reply you within 24 hours.

1. Mesh opening (mesh size, mm): 50×50, 75×75, 100×100, 150×150, 200×200 (100×100 and 150×150 are the most commonly used in projects).

2. Grating height (profile rib height, overall height in mm): 20, 40, 60, 80; 40 mm and 60 mm are the top choices for engineering projects.

3. Visible face width (slat width, mm): 10 mm, 15 mm (most common)

4. Profile wall thickness (mm): 0.4, 0.5, 0.6, 0.8, 1.0; standard fixtures typically use 0.5–0.8 mm.

5. Finished module dimensions (single unit): 600×600 mm, 1000×1000 mm, 1200×1200 mm; custom sizes are available.

6. Surface treatment: Electrostatic powder coating (common), polyester roll coating, fluorocarbon coating, wood grain transfer; Colors: White, black, light gray, dark gray; customizable according to RAL color codes.

1. Lightweight: Made of aluminum alloy with low surface density, it reduces the load on building roof slabs and ensures safe installation.

2. High strength and resistance to deformation: The profile structure is stable, resistant to bending, exhibits minimal thermal expansion, and is resistant to warping.

3. Moisture- and corrosion-resistant: Aluminum alloy does not absorb water, and the surface is coated with a protective finish to prevent mold and rust.

4. Excellent fire resistance: The base material is non-combustible aluminum alloy, with a fire rating of up to A2-s1,d0,t1, meeting fire safety requirements for public buildings.

5. Open, airy grid design: Provides excellent ventilation and heat dissipation; overhead piping, lighting fixtures, and air vents can remain exposed, facilitating future maintenance.

6. Strong three-dimensional effect: Three-dimensional ribs create a sense of spatial depth, resulting in a clean and elegant decorative effect.

1. Underground parking garages (most common): The open structure facilitates ventilation and smoke exhaust for fire safety; exposed wiring and lighting fixtures allow for easy maintenance.

2. Commercial spaces: Shopping mall aisles, atriums, specialty stores, and supermarkets—creating a minimalist industrial style with a strong sense of depth.

3. Transportation facilities: Subway stations, high-speed rail stations, bus hub lobbies, and corridors.

4. Office buildings: Office building lobbies, corridors, and open-plan office areas.

5. Cultural and sports venues: Exhibition halls, sports arenas, and cultural centers.

6. Others: Factory buildings, equipment rooms, and public corridors.

Standard Packaging

Protect the four corners of each vent with plastic corner guards to prevent dents and deformation, then wrap them in shrink wrap to keep out dust and moisture. Pack them in sturdy cardboard boxes or [alternative packaging]. If shipped as a full container load, the boxes will be stacked on standard export pallets to facilitate forklift loading and unloading and minimize shifting during transit.

Q1: What is Aluminium Egg Crate Core?

A: It is an aluminum grid core made by interlocking thin aluminum strips into egg-crate shaped cells. Also called aluminum egg crate grille core. Widely used for air diffuser, light shielding, facade decoration and filter support.

Q2: What aluminum alloy do you use?

A: Normally 1050 / 1060 / 3003 aluminum alloy. Temper: H14 / H24. Custom alloy available upon request.

Q3: Can you customize dimensions and cell sizes?

A: Yes. We can cut panels to your required length & width. Special cell sizes and strip thickness are acceptable for bulk orders.

Q4: What is your MOQ?

A: Small trial order is available. MOQ depends on finish: mill finish low MOQ; powder coated / anodized needs higher MOQ.

Q5: What is the lead time?

A: Mill finish: 7–15 days. Powder coating / anodizing: 15–25 days after deposit.

Q6: What are the main applications?

A: HVAC air diffuser & return air grille, lighting egg crate louver, building facade decoration, filter support, equipment ventilation cover.

Q7: How to pack the aluminium egg crate core?

A: Each sheet wrapped with PE film, packed in plywood case, suitable for sea freight. We can mark shipping marks as your requirement.

Q8: Can you provide samples?

A: Yes, small free samples. Buyer bears freight cost. Sample lead time: 3–7 days.

Q9: What is the advantage of aluminium egg crate core compared with plastic egg crate?

A: Aluminum is fire resistant, high rigidity, anti-aging, long service life, recyclable, suitable for high temperature and outdoor projects. Plastic is lightweight but poor fire performance.
