Though suspended ceilings are considered non-structural, recommendations for seismic stabilization do exist. However, traditional seismic ceiling construction is costly. Additional joint clips, wires, stabilizer bars, and seismic separation joints increase the cost of materials, while attaching separator clips and field cutting cross tees significantly impact labor costs. In addition to its Seismic 1200 Intermediate and Heavy Duty grid, Chicago Metallic now introduces the Seismic Separation Cross Tee (SST™) and Perimeter Clip, both of which can save up to 75% in material and labor costs compared to traditional installation methods.
