Elevator top ceilings can be made with several different components depending on the requirements of any specific project. Globe Architectural & Metal uses a variety of material thicknesses to achieve weight goals and stability requirements.

Standard top ceilings are 12ga steel powder coated white or black. In some cases, top ceilings can be manufactured with 14ga steel to reduce weight. All top ceilings maintain properly sized exit panels that can include locking mechanisms pending code requirements. Additionally, all top ceilings include properly located blower and venting requirements.

Additionally, top ceilings manufactured by Globe include all types of canopies, vented plenums, dog house or high hats, cab steadier brackets, and any required operator supports.
