profilés suspendus

The source text is rather telegraphic, so it's hard to be sure what sense is intended.

We know that the tiles are 'laid in' to the profile grid, so to me, the 'suspension' refers to the fact that the profiles of this suspended ceiling have to be ... suspended.

After all, the tiles are laid into the top surface of the profiles — so can hardly be said to be 'suspended' from the profiles.

I take it as meaning that the method of installing the tiles is 'overall suspension' via 'suspended profiles'.

Perhaps even 'suspension par profilés'?
