INSTALLATION
CAPAX SYSTEM
Capax is our aluminum profile installation system that provides you a concealed, reliable, quick and cost saving installation. The Quick-Up assembly system is a user friendly aluminum grid offering installation reliability and a perfect visual result. No tools are needed to assemble the interlocking components. A demountable version is available, ideal when access to the ancillary systems is required.
These instructions refer to our standard installation. For other solutions such as curved walls, closures and door liners, contact our support.
Select Ribs on colour shade and plan your ceiling installation, we recommend mixing varying shades randomly.
The room temperature should be between 18-50 C°.
The air humidity should be between 25-60%. The humidity in the under laying construction (concrete) should not be higher than 15%.
1. Install the Capax BASE-W profiles onto the wall at intervals of 600 mm, ensuring continuous support along their full length, using a laser level for alignment. Each rib must be supported by five BASE-W profiles, with approximately 600 mm spacing between the support points.
2. The holes in the BASE-W profile must always be aligned, also when placing several BASE-W profiles in line.
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.
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.
5. Attach the Capax U-FIX holder flush to the BASE-W profile, using the prefabricated holes.
6. Twist the U-FIX clips 90° into a perpendicular position in relation to the BASE-W.
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.
8. In-line connections of ribs should be backed by the U-FIX 100 connector or by a sharing U-FIX.
These instructions refer to our standard installation. For other solutions such as curved walls, closures and door liners, contact our support.
Standard curved installation with Linear rib, is possible down to a radius of 300 mm.
