The MAGU ceiling consists of sturdy metal profiles and dimensionally stable EPS rigid foam.

The metal profiles, which are custom-made to fit the length of the room, are placed against the wall, and the infill panels are simply inserted. The structural steel is installed and then encased in cast-in-place concrete.

The MAGU ceiling is available in many different thicknesses to meet structural or thermal requirements.

The MAGU lightweight ceiling is easy and quick to install in new construction—as a basement ceiling, flat roof, or even a drop ceiling—without the need for a crane.
The Neopor fillers offer many options for integrating pipes and components, even after installation.

The MAGU ceiling is lightweight in design and can be easily installed by hand with minimal on-site equipment. This makes the MAGU ceiling ideal for renovation projects and in areas that are difficult to access.

Thanks to its insulating core, the MAGU ceiling has a lower dead weight yet still features a high, structurally effective load-bearing beam—the principle of the classic ribbed ceiling.

The possible spans depend on the dead load of the floor—that is, its own weight plus any additional layers such as screed and floor coverings—and the required live load, i.e., the loads the floor will be subjected to later on. The final design is performed by a structural engineer.

The values provided here are based on the following structural assumptions for guidance purposes:

Dead weight
Screed, plaster, tiles: 0.91 KN/m²
Dead weight
MAGU slab (e.g., 30 cm thick): 1.64 kN/m²
Permanent load: 2.44 kN/m²
Rated value
Permanent load (including safety factor): 3.30 kN/m²

Live Load Category A: 0.90/ 1.90/ 2.90/ 3.90 kN/m²
Partition wall surcharge: 0.72 KN/m²
Live loads: 1.62/ 2.62/ 3.62/ 4.62 kN/m²
Rated value
Live load (including safety factor): 2.42/ 3.42/ 4.42/ 5.42 kN/m²

The center-to-center distance between the supports for pouring the MAGU slab is approximately 1.80 m. This makes the construction and installation of the slab much easier.

If the ceiling can be supported by the load-bearing wall, you'll need just two rows of formwork and ceiling props for a room that's 3.6 m long, for example.

The bottom reinforcement in the area of the concrete beams is laid either on U-shaped stirrups or on simple support strips.
In many cases, the structural steel mesh alone is sufficient as top reinforcement; if necessary, additional reinforcing bars can also be tied to the mesh.
Perimeter reinforcement or lintel reinforcement can be easily integrated and is ultimately cast homogeneously with the concrete.

We deliver MAGU ceilings to the construction site fully assembled and ready to install.
We can optionally include ceiling structural analysis, installation plans, structural steel, and the necessary accessories in a complete package.

The MAGU C-profiles and the ceiling panels weigh only a few kilograms, making them easy to handle when unloading and installing them on the wall.
A floor slab can be poured in just a few hours without a crane.

Thanks to the C-profile, the panels are walkable immediately after installation—the minimum spacing between the floor supports is approximately 1.20 to 1.50 m
The ceiling props must be positioned appropriately to accommodate the subsequent pouring of the concrete overlay.

The structural steel supplied is installed in accordance with floor structural analysis. Solid concrete panels can be easily constructed to meet increased structural requirements, such as those for staircases.

The actual load-bearing structure of the ceiling is solid concrete, which is poured on site using a crane bucket or concrete pump.
The result is a solid concrete slab with excellent thermal insulation.

Further processing is also incredibly simple.
Whether electrical, plumbing, or ventilation pipes—there's room for them all in the packing.
All types of substructures—such as drywall, acoustic ceilings, and wood paneling—can be securely and permanently attached to the steel profiles.
