Tartan Grid Ceilings

Installation

Using a laser, or equivalent, determine ceiling level and secure perimeter trim (ET181) to the wall at 450mm maximum centres.

Cut lengths of M8 threaded suspension rod to suit suspension depth ensuring sufficient length for fixing.

Secure rod hangers, at centres corresponding to crossing boxes, to the structural soffit using fixings approved by the Architect and determined by load and safety factor considerations.

Crossing boxes are located on to the rod hangers and secured with 2No. M8 nuts, taking care to maintain a perfect level.

Trim strips are fitted between crossing boxes, the pre-punched slots in the trim strips locating over the tabs on the vertical flange of the crossing boxes.

Crossing boxes and trim strips are fixed together using self-tapping screws through pre-punched holes.

Tiles can now be offered into place. Cut perimeter tiles must be retained using wedges (GT120) spaced at 300mm maximum centres.

Please note. As manufacturers only, Burgess Architectural Products Ltd. cannot be held responsible for the installation of the ceiling. Site conditions, special applications, services integration etc. may require variations to these instructions, which are given purely as a general guide.

Soft clean cotton gloves should be worn when fitting tiles.
