Installation manual Design and technique Product description Gyptone edge D is a pre-painted, demountable suspended acoustic ceiling, mounted in a concealed grid system (T-). Gyptone ceilings can be used for many applications, like schools, offices and commercial settings. Gyptone edge D is fully demountable and gives good opportunities for inspection in the cavity above the ceiling. Gyptone edge D is available with perforated and non- perforated surfaces. Thickness is, mm and the format 600 x 600 mm. Plenum height Min and max plenum heights with T-grid system can be found on page. Surfaces Gyptone ceiling tiles with edge D is painted from the factory. The color used is white (NCS000) with a gloss value of -9 according to ISO 8. Further painting is to be done with a shorthaired paint roller as spray painting will impair the acoustic performance. Grid system Gyptone edge D is installed on a Quick- Lock T- grid system. The system is suspended and should be installed with suitable hangers. Gyptone edge D must be installed according to this installation manual as well as the general specification of the project. Fire resistance A-s, d0. Load The max point load for each tile, with a deflection of max mm is kg. If higher load is needed the installations needs to be fixed to the slab above with dedicated suspensions. Max point load for the grid is 0, kg. Max load equally spread on the main beams is kg/m for T grid system. Stability Gyptone edge D is to be installed and used in rooms with relative humidity not permanently exceeding 70% or temperatures exceeding degrees Celsius. Weight Non perforated Gyptone edge D = 9 kg/m² Perforated Gyptone edge D = 8 kg/m² Cleaning Can be cleaned with a damp cloth. Do not use detergents. Always use clean gloves when installing Gyptone edge D. Maintenance If damages on edges or surfaces occurs, It is recommended to replace the damaged tile.

Installation of T-grid system 00 mm A The placement of the wall angle is marked with a bubble level/ chalk line and mounted with a flat headed screw suitable for the wall per max. 00 mm. The first screw should be no more than 0 mm from a corner. The wall angles should not be shorter than 00 mm. Cut the wall angles in close mitre at the corner joints. If the wall is uneven, mount a thin wooden list behind the wall angle. B Hangers for the main beam are placed in rows per 600 mm. The first main beam 00-600 mm from the wall. First hanger in main beam max 00 mm from the wall. Other hangers per max 00 mm. See illustration on page. The hook of the hanger must be squeezed together with a pair of nippers. C mm D Distance between profiles At the longitudinal assembly of the main beams the couplings should be pushed together until they click. Adjust the hangers to ensure all main beams are in level with the wall angle. The main beam should not be rested on the wall angle, but placed approx. mm over the wall angle. When mounting the cross tees, always place the hook in the right side of the slot seen from the mounting side. Cross tees are mounted at each 00 mm, see illustration on page. The cross tee is placed by the first hanger. The length of the cross tee closest to the wall is adjusted. The grid system is adjusted to the accurate height. Every th main beam and all cross tees against the wall, are fixed to the wall with wall brackets. Gyptone edge D Installation manual
Mounting of Gyptone edge D ceiling tiles J-profile Z-profile GYPTONE GYPTONE E When mounting the Gyptone tiles, use cotton gloves. The tiles are lifted perpendicular into the grid system. The J-profile is slid over the edge of the main beam, and the tile is placed in position with the Z-profile resting on the opposite main beam. Slide/push the tiles in place in the direction of the main beam. Be careful not to damage the tiles. Mounting of tiles should always be started from the center of the room. All installations should be completed before mounting the tiles. F Adjusting the frieze tiles against the wall: The front of the tile is marked. The Z and J profile on the back is shortened with a hacksaw or similar. Turn the tile and cut the tile cardboard. Frieze tiles should not be cut with an undersize of more than max mm. G When mounting the friezes against the wall, place wall springs per tile. The short side of the spring is squeezed between the wall angle and the wall.
