Lindner Group unveils F90 Drop-Slide Metal Fire Protection Ceiling combining sustainability, fire safety, and easy maintenance
(IN BRIEF) The Lindner Group has introduced the F90 Drop-Slide Metal Fire Protection Ceiling, a recyclable ceiling system that delivers high fire resistance, sustainability, and practicality. Certified with EPD and UPD, the system achieves EI90 protection from above and EI60 from below, making it suitable for critical applications such as hospitals, industrial facilities, and escape routes. Its drop-and-slide mechanism enables tool-free access panels up to 2,500 x 1,600 mm, allowing maintenance without disrupting building operations. With strong acoustic properties, hygienic surfaces, and easy installation even in complex structures, the F90 system offers a robust, future-ready choice for secure and sustainable construction projects.
(PRESS RELEASE) ARNSTORF, 20-Aug-2025 — /EuropaWire/ — The Lindner Group has expanded its product portfolio with the introduction of the F90 Drop-Slide Metal Fire Protection Ceiling, a ceiling system designed to combine top-tier fire protection with sustainability, functionality, and easy maintenance. Built with fully recyclable materials and certified with both Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) and Uniform Product Declaration (UPD), the new system is engineered as a forward-looking solution for environmentally conscious building projects.
Independently tested in accordance with DIN EN 13501-2, the system provides fire resistance ratings of EI90 (a→b) and EI60 (a←b), equivalent to F90 protection from above and F60 protection from below. This dual-sided protection makes the ceiling particularly well-suited for critical environments such as public buildings, hospitals, industrial facilities, and especially escape routes or corridors where fire safety is paramount. The classification of F/EI 60 on the underside offers an additional safeguard in sensitive applications.
Engineered with a free-spanning construction, the ceiling allows flexible planning and safe execution, even in complex structures, long spans, or challenging refurbishment projects. A unique drop-and-slide inspection mechanism adds further convenience: ceiling panels can be lowered and moved horizontally beneath adjacent panels without tools, creating access openings of up to 2,500 x 1,600 mm. This design ensures maintenance and servicing tasks can be performed with minimal disruption to building operations.
Additional features include a height-adjustable wall connection for precise installation in irregular building conditions, as well as perforated surfaces for high acoustic performance. The system’s hygienic and easy-to-clean metal surface makes it suitable for sensitive areas such as medical facilities, laboratories, or food production environments, where both safety and cleanliness are vital.
With this new fire protection ceiling, Lindner underscores its role as a pioneer in delivering innovative building solutions that balance safety, environmental responsibility, and functional excellence.
