PS80AL
DIRECT CLIP
Drawing 1 |
The Z-clip is mounted directly
to the wall surface In a location that will allow the wall mount
clip to slide directly under the flange of the panel frame. This
method eliminates the need for a panel clip. Also, there is
considerably less alignment required when locating the wall clips.
Tile wall must still be plumb and the clips level for a successful
installation. Hook & loop fasteners may be used to secure the bottom
flange of the panel.
ADVANTAGE: REDUCED LAYOUT
TIME, FEWER FASTENER COMPONENTS. |
|
STUD ONLY
INSTALLATION
Drawing 2A |
Used when there is no wall
surface, our panels actually serve as wall surfaces. The wall bars
must be attached directly to the wall studs. This can be done using
full-length wall bars / clips. Available products are our PS80
Trimline 8'-0' wall bar and continuous lengths of our AL frame
Z-clip. Up to 12' - 0" lengths (special order only - minimums
apply).
ADVANTAGE: REDUCED LAYOUT
TIME, FEWER FASTENER COMPONENTS. |

FLUSH PANEL
TOP AT
HORIZONTAL
INTERSECTION
Drawing 2B |
Used when required 1"
clearance for Z-clip fastener engagement is not acceptable. The
installation is accomplished by installing tile panel and wall clips
so they engage by sliding up into each other as compared to our
standard mounting. Once tile panel clips are engaged by pushing up,
the bottom of the panel is secured by using hook and loop fasteners
(optional) and some type of bottom support blocking or trim that can
be installed after the panel clips are engaged. The panel must be
supported until its weight can be released onto the bottom support.
ADVANTAGE: ELIMINATION OF THE
1" CLEARANCE GAP. FEWER FASTENER COMPONENTS. |
|
J-TRIM
Commercially
Available |
Recommended for 1/ 2" panels
where accurate field dimensions are not available or where extreme
out of square wall conditions prevail. Standard commercially
available J-Trim may be used to create a mounting frame for our
panels. The panels can be manufactured to dimensions that will allow
the finished panel to fit within the J-Trim return flange and still
have the J-Trim hide the difference created by the allowance for
lift. The panel can be secured using an adhesive or hook and loop
fasteners if the flange clearance will allow.
ADVANTAGE: REDUCED LAYOUT
REQUIRED FOR OUT OF SQUARE CONDITIONS. STANDARD PANELS RATHER
THAN CUSTOM TO FIT OUT OF SQUARE CONDITIONS. |

THREADED
RODS |
Threaded rods can be used to install AL baffles or
cloud mount panels. Tile threaded rod must have a 1/4" x 20
thread and be supplied and field installed by the customer. |

HANGING
CLIPS |
Special PS80 hanging clips for use where asbestos in
the wall will not allow the wall surfaces to be disturbed. The
special clips are embedded to the top of the PS80 panel. The clips
have hanging holes that allow a customer supplied hanging device to
be attached. These panels are then suspended from an overhanging
surface or a ceiling as near to the wall as possible to create a
wall panel look. |
