Before you start the installation

Plan

Select Ribs on colour shade and plan your ceiling installation, we recommend mixing varying shades randomly.

Room temperature

The room temperature should be between 18-50 C°.

Humidity

The air humidity should be between 25-60%. The humidity in the under laying construction (concrete) should not be higher than 15%.

Step by step - Wall installation using 2400 mm long Linear Ribs.

STEP 1

1. Attach the Capax BASE-W profiles to the wall every 600 mm with the help of a laser-level. Every rib should be supported by 5 BASE-W profiles with approximately 600 mm in between the supporting points.

STEP 2

2. The holes in the BASE-W profile must always be aligned, also when placing several BASE-W profiles in line.

STEP 3

3. Optionally, install a layer of 17 mm insulation material between the profiles.
Alternatively use 45 mm thick insulation, in that case, add 28 mm battens behind the BASE-W profiles.

STEP 4

4. Optionally, install Acoustex felt with some double-sided tape to keep it in place during the installation. Pre-hole the Acoustex felt by using another BASE-W profile as a template.

STEP 5

5. Attach the Capax U-FIX holder flush to the BASE-W profile, using the prefabricated holes.

STEP 6

6. Twist the U-FIX clips 90° into a perpendicular position in relation to the BASE-W.

STEP 7

7. Attach the Ribs to the U-FIX clips by using a rubber hammer. Use Capax 3253 to support and align vertically installed ribs. If needed, carefully re-align by hitting the ends of the Ribs with a rubber hammer and using a wooden protection block.

STEP 8

8.  In-line connections of ribs should be backed by the U-FIX-N 200 connector or by a sharing U-FIX.
