PART 3 - EXECUTION
3.1 EXAMINATION
A. Examine substrates, areas, and conditions, including structural framing to which
acoustical panel ceilings attach or abut, with Installer present, for compliance with
requirements specified in this and other Sections that affect ceiling installation and
anchorage and with requirements for installation tolerances and other conditions
affecting performance of acoustical panel ceilings.
B. Examine acoustical panels before installation. Reject acoustical panels that are wet,
moisture damaged, or mold damaged.
C. Proceed with installation only after unsatisfactory conditions have been corrected.
3.2 PREPARATION
A. Measure each ceiling area and establish layout of acoustical panels to balance border
widths at opposite edges of each ceiling. Avoid using less-than-half-width panels at
borders unless otherwise indicated, and comply with layout shown on reflected ceiling
plans.
B. Layout openings for penetrations centered on the penetrating items.
3.3 INSTALLATION
A. Install acoustical panel ceilings according to ASTM C636/C636M, and manufacturer's
written instructions.
B. Suspend ceiling hangers from building's structural members and as follows:
1. Install hangers plumb and free from contact with insulation or other objects
within ceiling plenum that are not part of supporting structure or of ceiling
suspension system.
2. Splay hangers only where required to miss obstructions; offset resulting
horizontal forces by bracing, countersplaying, or other equally effective means.

ACOUSTICAL PANEL CEILINGS 095113 - 7
3. Where width of ducts and other construction within ceiling plenum produces
hanger spacings that interfere with location of hangers at spacings required to
support standard suspension-system members, install supplemental suspension
members and hangers in form of trapezes or equivalent devices.
4. Secure wire hangers to ceiling-suspension members and to supports above with
a minimum of three tight turns. Connect hangers directly to structure or to
inserts, eye screws, or other devices that are secure and appropriate for substrate
and that will not deteriorate or otherwise fail due to age, corrosion, or elevated
temperatures.
5. Secure flat, angle, channel, and rod hangers to structure, including intermediate
framing members, by attaching to inserts, eye screws, or other devices that are
secure and appropriate for both the structure to which hangers are attached and
the type of hanger involved. Install hangers in a manner that will not cause them
to deteriorate or fail due to age, corrosion, or elevated temperatures.
6. Do not support ceilings directly from permanent metal forms or floor deck.
Fasten hangers to postinstalled mechanical or adhesive anchors, or power-
actuated fasteners that extend through forms into concrete.
7. When steel framing does not permit installation of hanger wires at spacing
required, install carrying channels or other supplemental support for attachment
of hanger wires.
8. Do not attach hangers to steel roof deck. Attach hangers to structural members.
9. Space hangers not more than 48 inches o.c. along each member supported
directly from hangers unless otherwise indicated; provide hangers not more than
8 inches from ends of each member.
10. Size supplemental suspension members and hangers to support ceiling loads
within performance limits established by referenced standards.
C. Secure bracing wires to ceiling suspension members and to supports with a minimum
of four tight turns. Suspend bracing from building's structural members as required for
hangers, without attaching to permanent metal forms, steel deck, or steel deck tabs.
Fasten bracing wires into concrete with cast-in-place or postinstalled anchors.
D. Install edge moldings and trim of type indicated at perimeter of acoustical ceiling area
and where necessary to conceal edges of acoustical panels.
1. Apply acoustical sealant in a continuous ribbon concealed on back of vertical
legs of moldings before they are installed.
2. Screw attach moldings to substrate at intervals not more than 16 inches o.c. and
not more than 3 inches from ends. Miter corners accurately and connect securely.
3. Do not use exposed fasteners, including pop rivets, on moldings and trim.
E. Install suspension-system runners so they are square and securely interlocked with one
another. Remove and replace dented, bent, or kinked members.
F. Install acoustical panels with undamaged edges and fit accurately into suspension-
system runners and edge moldings. Scribe and cut panels at borders and penetrations
to provide precise fit.

A. Suspended Ceilings: Install main and cross runners level to a tolerance of 1/8 inch in
12 feet, non-cumulative.
B. Moldings and Trim: Install moldings and trim to substrate and level with ceiling
suspension system to a tolerance of 1/8 inch in 12 feet, non-cumulative.

suspension-system members. Comply with manufacturer's written instructions for
cleaning and touchup of minor finish damage.
B. Remove and replace ceiling components that cannot be successfully cleaned and
repaired to permanently eliminate evidence of damage.
