Setting out
The position of the wall trim should be marked on the walls and columns. The bottom flange of the perimeter trim is the level of the proposed ceiling.
| Wall Trim
The perimeter trim is fixed to the wall at max. 300 mm. At corners the trim should be mitred accurately.
| Layout
The ceiling is normally divided in the centre, in this way the adjustments are the same size. Please notice that the placing of fixtures and ventilation units can affect the correct layout.
| Suspension Hangers
Where there is a change of direction in the corridor, a main runner must be used to support the tiles. The maximum distance between the suspension hangers is 750 mm, and a maximum 300 mm from the walls.

Adjusting the Flex profile
If the flex profile is broken because of fittings, installations or other implementations, the Flex profile has to be suspended.
| Main runner 65020
Main Runner 65020 can be used to support Corridor tiles at maximum 2400 centres. It is necessary to secure the main runner at the perimeter, and to fix the Flex profile to the main runner at every sixth tile. Where the short edges of the Corridor tile abut the main runner, the Flex profiles on either side of the Tee are secured to each other.
| Levelling the Suspension System
If suspension hangers have been used, they must be adjusted to obtain an accurate level. Where there is a change in direction of tiles, the main runner must be secured to the wall construction.
| Tiles
Where possible, Corridor tiles should be installed after all major work in the ceiling void has been completed. The flex-profile must not be over 6 mm shorter than the tiles. The level of the tiles should be checked when the installation is completed. Gloves should be worn at all times when handling the tiles and a saw or knife used to cut the tiles to size.
