Abstract

A beam for a suspended ceiling in a clean room has soft plastic flaps on top of the flanges. The flaps form a seal when a ceiling panel is supported on the beam. The flaps, formed continuously as the beam emerges from a roll forming operation, are integral with a plastic coating on the metal beam core.
