Gyproc Soffit Cleat, 1.6 mm Thickness - 27 x 37 x 25 mm Ceiling Suspension Bracket
- Brand: Saint-Gobain Gyproc
- Product: Soffit Cleat (Suspension Bracket)
- Dimensions (L1 x L2 x Width): 27 mm x 37 mm x 25 mm
- Material Thickness: 1.6 mm (Heavy Gauge)
- Material Build: Galvanised Iron (GI Steel)
- Primary Application: Concrete Soffit to Vertical Hanger Tie
Saint-Gobain Gyproc Soffit Cleat is a heavy-duty structural anchor component engineered for suspended ceiling systems and false ceiling layouts. Measuring 27 x 37 x 25 mm with a dense 1.6 mm thick gauge, this L-shaped metal bracket acts as the critical primary connection point between the solid overhead concrete slab (soffit) and the vertical ceiling L-angle or suspension hanger rod.
Key Features
- Reinforced 1.6 mm Thickness: Stamped from heavy-gauge galvanized steel for exceptional shear and load-bearing strength, eliminating the risk of ceiling sag
- Pre-Punched Anchor Slots: Pre-drilled holes optimized for smooth insertion of metal rawl plugs on the concrete side and M6 pan-head screws on the channel side
- Superior Zinc Galvanisation: Industrial anti-rust zinc coating prevents structural decay and oxidation in humid interstitial ceiling spaces
- Seismic & Load Stability: Distributes the downward weight of multi-layer plasterboards or heavy moisture-resistant ceilings evenly across the concrete deck

Professional Recommendations
- Multi-Layer / Quartz Ceilings: This 1.6 mm cleat is essential when hanging heavy ceiling assemblies, like double-layered sound insulation boards or moisture-resistant layouts. Its heavy gauge keeps the overhead grid rigid
- Fastener Pairings: Pair this cleat with an authentic 6mm metal expansion rawl plug to anchor it into the concrete roof, and an M6 pan-head machine bolt with hex nut to join it to your vertical ceiling L-angles
- Spacing Standard: Space soffit cleats at a maximum of 1200 mm (4 feet) intervals along the primary intermediate channels to prevent overloading individual grid points

1) What is the main job of a soffit cleat in a false ceiling layout?
A soffit cleat provides a solid mechanical anchor point on the raw overhead concrete ceiling. It connects the structural slab to the vertical L-angles, creating a stable, level suspension grid for the rest of the metal framework.
2) Can I bend or adjust these cleats on the job site?
The 1.6 mm high-tensile steel frame is engineered for rigid 90-degree load support. Minor levelling adjustments should be handled by sliding the vertical ceiling L-angle up or down the cleat before tightening the M6 nut, rather than forcing a bend in the bracket.
3) Can I use plastic wall plugs to mount this cleat to the slab?
No. Suspended ceiling grids require fire-safe, heavy-duty mechanical anchors. You must use metal rawl plugs or wedge anchors to mount the cleat to the concrete roof to ensure the framework stays securely suspended over time.
4) Will these cleats rust over time in a humid bathroom or kitchen ceiling?
No. Every authentic Gyproc soffit cleat features a protective zinc coating that protects the structural steel from rust, even in high-humidity zones above damp bathroom or kitchen ceiling setups.
5) How far apart should these cleats be spaced?
Space them at a maximum of 1200 mm (4 feet) intervals along the primary intermediate channels, to keep the load evenly distributed and avoid overloading any single grid point.
