Installation Instructions
STEP 1: Preparation
Establish height of finished ceiling in accordance with architectural design and mechanical
STEP 2: Perimeter Channel
Fix Perimeter channel or angle in place around the wall edges with 8 gauge x 32mm screws at 600 centres. This will supply sufficient edge support to complement suspended components.
STEP 3: Rail Installation
Top Cross Rail support should be no closer than 200mm from walls.
STEP 4: Connector Clips
Top Cross Rail connector clips should be securely snap locked into position. Positive engagement is confirmed by definite clicking sound of the engagement points.
