We've got double glazed glass partition units on the cheap to act as our new office partitioning.
Problem is these units are 257cm when the floor to suspended ceiling height is 254cm! Since these glass partitions have to sit in a timber frame that adds another 4 inches. There is about anothing 25cm of space above the ceiling till the concrete floor above.
We want to break the metal frame of the suspended ceiling and angle it upwards (along the width of the room) where it meets the partitions so we get that extra height along the length of the partition wall - so we can fit the 257cm glass unit + 2" timer frame.
Is this possible? Will it ruin the structural integrity of the ceiling?
Here's how an angled suspended ceiling looks - this the effect I want angling upwards to meet the extra high partition wall:
Our suspended ceiling contained a metal grid tied vertically to the concrete floor above with metal cables
The ceiling looks similar to this:
Opened up it looks like this:
