DESCRIPTION

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.

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.

OPTIONAL MOUNTING - CEILINGS

METHOD

DESCRIPTION

USED ON:

CLOUD MOUNT

Drawing 4

Standard wall panels with eyebolts installed to back of frame.  Panel face hangs parallel tp floor, this creates a "cloud” hanging effect Panels can be installed to create a dropped ceiling look.  Excellent alternative to baffles.

Aluminum frame or resin edge.

 

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.

AL baffles or aluminum cloud mount panels only.

 

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.

PS80 panels.
