C'est ainsi que sont nées les «grilles-écrans» ou «paralumes» [...] Les plafonds multi-cellulaires entièrement lumineux sont nés aux États-Unis, où l'on a appliqué pour la première fois ce procédé de défilement à la totalité du plafond. [...] la grille-écran située en dessous [des lampes fluorescentes] permet de dissimuler l'appareillage, les canalisations, la poutraison, etc. Les grilles sont constituées, soit par des lames opaques en métal, ou même en bois [...] soit par des lames translucides en verre, ou en matière synthétique, opales ou prismatisées. 2, record 1, French, - plafond%20lumineux%20%C3%A0%20paralumes
