Procedure for mounting the suspended ceiling Armstrong

The suspension system is designed for distributed load - 3.5 ...

6.0 kg / m 2 on the weight of the ceiling panels, and also imposed on top

(if necessary) layer of insulation materials. Bearing profiles

Frame (T24H38; T15x38, Table No. 1) on adjustable spring suspensions are attached

To the base is no more than 1,200 mm (Table No. 2). To prevent overload

the perimeter profile of the extreme suspension must be defeated from the walls

more than 600 mm with the weight of the ceiling products up to 4.0 kg / m 2 and 450

MM with weight more than 4.0 kg / m 2. Minimum frame distance from

The base should be at least 120 mm from the condition of the possibility

dismantling plates during operation.

In general, the installation of the suspended ceiling Armstrong is performed in the following order:

• - measuring the room and breakdown the main mutually perpendicular axes;

• - removal of pure ceiling marks on the walls and columns;

• - ceiling markup from the axis of the room in both sides to identify

  sizes of extreme to walls plates, locations of lamps, venerable and other devices;

• - fastening the corner profile (PU profile 19/24) on the walls and columns using a dowel,

  installed in 0.5 m;

• - fastening of suspensions with rods to the base ceiling by means of anchor elements;

• - installation of basic T-profiles 24x38 and aligning them in the same plane;

• - installation of transverse T-profile 24x32 in the space of the main profile;

• - installation of the longitudinal T-profile 24x28 in the crossbill of the transverse profile;

• - Laying plates in the frame cells is made during the installation process of the frame or after it is completed. Laying to execute B.

  The direction indicated by the arrows on the reverse side of the plates. Slabs

  adjacent to walls, columns and other designs, trim around the place;

• - if necessary, in the process of mounting the plates, laying the heat or sound insulation material;

• - installation of lamps, ventilation grids, etc. Performed in the installation process.

Some requirements for mounting a suspended ceiling

Armstrong

Installation plates

produce only after the end of all construction and installation works,

including all the "wet" processes, as well as the device of floors and

glazing windows. The heating system should work to

The room could be ensured the temperature in the range of 15 - 30 ° C.

Relative humidity of the air should not exceed 70%.

Installing massive lamps, air conditioners, etc. should

exercised by hanging them on independent carriers

Designs.

In case of laying an additional layer of heat or

Soundproofing Material over Plates or Installation Installation

lamps should increase the number of suspensions in proportion

Increase the weight of the ceiling.

Fastening the profile suspension when mounting the suspended ceiling, the suspension length easily changes with the springs
The docking of the profile to the wall occurs with the help of an angular profile 19/24
Transverse profiles have a castle at the ends, which when connecting transverse profiles with carriers Provides structural strength
Transverse profiles insert from right from Friend in the slots of carrier profiles and lightweight effort up to Stop
Beaching profiles have a reliable castle, Allows you to easily and quickly connect the flashes of two profiles. The shape of the slot provides quick and neat assembly

Recommendations for the installation of the suspended ceiling Armstrong:

Start mounting the armstrong ceiling system

how all communications intended for placement beyond the false platform will

already laid, because their gasket after installing the system, although it is possible, but

Less convenient. When choosing a suspension system, pay attention to weight

Built-in equipment you plan to place in a false plat.

Initially, the system is designed for a distributed load from 4 to 6.5 kg / m.kv, but

Some varieties of suspended systems allow you to increase it to 7-10 kg / m.kv.

First of all, the horizontal of the future surface of the Falsepotor should be placed.

For this purpose, you must put on any wall of the room the first mark on

the desired distance from the floor, or the existing ceiling overlap

so that the mounted system closes all the upper communications and

The protrusions of the ceiling overlap. In case of their absence and, if you wish to post

The surface of the false platform at the minimum distance from the existing ceiling

overlap, be sure to pre-measure the height of all built-in

accessories mounted in the system and take into account the need for their placement when

defining the minimum possible distance between the false plat and existing

overlapping.

After installing the first mark, it is projected onto all the walls of the room so

So that the marks obtained can be easily connected direct line with

Rulers, or any level item that can play its role. To

The surface of the rawpotor did not repeat the irregularities and the bias of the floor or ceiling

Overlap, projection should be carried out using a water level - Waterpas

(more precisely and more convenient), or a long enough carpenter (less accurately and

conveniently), taking the first mark as the basis, and not laying the same distances from

Floor or existing ceiling in different places of the room. After all

The walls of the room will be spent a straight line denoting horizontal

the level of the future surface of the false-brake, you can proceed directly to

Installation of the system.

Directly mounting the suspended ceiling begins with fastening to the walls, along

The resulting horizontal line, a special L-shaped profile included in

Set of Armstrong system. For cutting profile in the desired size, better

use the usual hacksaw for metal with small teeth, and for cutting

Corner connections Apply a carpentry stub, or take advantage

transporter. Mounting profile is necessary so that he formed the shelf,

facing facial (painted) side down. Fastening elements need

Pick in accordance with the material of the wall.

The next step will be the installation of the guide profiles of the system. They all have a form

The tired letter t but differ in length. Long profile has a slot, and

Short ends on both sides with small protrusions, which when installed

Inserted in the slits of long profiles. As a result, a lattice is formed from

guide profiles with cell sizes 600x600 mm, or 600x1200 mm, which

Depends on the initially chosen ceiling configuration. After assembling the grille

Just filled with ArmStrong cassettes and necessary accessories,

stacked on the resulting shelves. In this case, the mounting of the lattice is better to start from

Middle room so that the central cell comes from its center. In that

Circuit case of extreme cells, which are unlikely to accurately coincide with dimensions

The premises will be uniform and the ceiling will look careful. Snack

guides are produced on a special or conventional wire (not a dimension

less than 2 mm), or with special suspended elements representing

two thin metal rods missing through the holes in the curved

Plate - petal. When installing the system with wire, it is necessary

Pre-straighten the wire with any mechanical

tool to reduce its deformation under load and do not less

3 loops in the places of fastening it to the profile and the ceiling fastener. As

Fasteners for mounting the system to ceiling overlap better

use screws with a ring or hook instead of the head - to more convenient

Fasten wire or suspended elements. Dowels for screws should

Select based on the material of the ceiling overlap. Snake should be started with

Long guides, consistently connecting them short. Alignment

Horizontal grilles need to be done with a level after its full

assembly, bending wire in or shifting petals, depending on the type

Suspension. 2-3 days after the ceiling gets a full load,

Alignment is recommended to repeat.
