Abstract

The disclosure relates to a grid system including at least one main runner including an aperture; at least one cross spacer including a slot, with the slot formed from a bottom side thereof; and a fixing element. The main runner is insertable into the slot in the cross spacer from a first side of the cross spacer such that, when the main runner is inserted into said slot, the aperture of the main runner is at least partly accessible from a second side of the cross spacer, the second side being opposite to the first side. The cross spacer further includes an aperture, and the fixing element is adapted to, in a locked position, extend through the aperture in the main runner and through the aperture in the cross spacer such that the relative position of the main runner and the cross spacer is fixed.
