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 wall angle should be fixed at max. 300 mm centres. At corners the trim should be mitred accurately.
| Layout
Generally start setting out from the centre of the room ensuring that perimeter edge cuts are of equal size on both sides of the room. The positioning of light fittings, ventilation units and sprinkler heads should be considered at this stage.
| Suspension Hangers
The adjustable hangers should be fixed with eye screws, angle brackets or similar. If direct hangers are used they should be screwed to the soffit. It is important that the suspension is plumb. The main runners are fixed parallel at 300 mm or 600 mm centres.

Main Runner
The suspension hanger must be fixed to the main runner at 1500 mm centres and not less than 100 mm from the wall angle.
| Joining the Main Runners
The main runners have interlocking tongues at both ends enabling them to be joined together, an additional hanger must be used at this point.
| Suspension Hangers
The adjustable hangers with a distance max. 1500 mm c/c should be fixed with eye screws, angle brackets or similar. If direct hangers are used they should be screwed to the soffit. It is important that the suspension is plumb.
| 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.
