Metal frame dropped ceiling system, which system should I use?

spongecharles · 6 Jul 2025

Hi everyone,

Planning to do a dropped ceiling in our flat - concrete ceiling. Seem to have a few brands which all have very confusing names!
As British Gypsum is a big company I was looking into their system but cannot find the difference between the CasoLine MF and GypLyner UNIVERSAL.
CasoLine MF has a # grid system and Gyplyner only has one way structures. I assume, as Gyplyner has less materials is easier and cheaper to install?

I would like to drop as little as i can with a open void for heating pipes, the MF system has a cross grid and so will be loosing quite a lot of height compared to the Gyplyner. Also, looks like the GL2 bracket looks much easier to install than MF brackets?

Does anyone know the actual difference between these two?

CasoLine MF :

GypLyner :

Also, as we have a concrete ceiling can I use a nail gun to fix brackets to the ceiling instead of drilling?

Thanks in advance!
