Linear Plank Capax installation – Wall
The Capax installation system for Linear Plank is a user-friendly aluminium grid, offering installation reliability and a perfect visual result. Demountable options are available.
How to install Gustafs Panels on walls
In order to achieve a fully satisfactory result it is important for the underlay to be well balanced vertically and horizontally. The mineral wool should always be placed close behind the planks.
Before you start your installation
Plan your installation
Select the Planks on colour shade and plan your wall installation, we recommend mixing varying shades randomly.
Room conditions
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%.
Wall construction
Gustafs Capax System can be used on most types of surfaces. Be sure the sub construction is suited for heavy loads, this applies in particular to high walls and large areas.
Step by step for Linear Plank or Plank-P
STEP 1&2
1. For acoustic wall installations, start installing battens using a laser alignment and fill the cavities with insulation. For more information see Gustafs technical drawings and step 5 below.
2. Install the first Capax profile 3231 using a laser. Remove any debris that may have fallen into the profile.
STEP 3&4
3. Place the first Plank on Capax 3231 and secure with a vertical profile, use Capax 3201 for closed joints or Capax 3206 for open joints.
An installation with 3206 will be demountable.
4. Continue with the next Plank repeating step 3. You can also saw the Planks on site if necessary. Be sure to polish the edges of the panel after cutting.

STEP 5
5. When using Capax 3206, fill the open joint with an in-fill strip. For an acoustic installation use 50 mm long Capax 3206 clips instead of full profile lengths. Fill the joints with felt strips.
STEP 6
6. Finish with mouldings and corner solutions.
All corner and end solutions for Gustafs Panels can also be used for Gustafs Planks and Plank-P.

Wood
Wood is a natural product and each veneer is unique. Colour, pattern and structural differences are considered as normal and a part of the décor. Select planks on colour shade and plan your wall or ceiling installation, we recommend mixing varying shades randomly. Wood changes over time when exposed to UV-light.
Conditions for Storage, Installation and Use
Only for indoor use and not in wet rooms. Storage, Installation and Use at 18-50 C° and 25-60% air humidity. The humidity in the under laying construc-tion (concrete) should not be higher than 15%. Gustafs solutions are sensitive to humidity and water, therefore they should always be stored dry and in-door.
Storage & Transportation
· Do not transport unsecured planks.
· Do not stack pallets.
· Keep the packaging closed during storage.
· Lift panels flat, vertically and one at the time.
· Avoid exposure to strong and direct sunlight.
Cleaning
Cleanings is done by dry mop or vacuum. Use synthetic cleaning fluid without ammonia for greasy stains, fruit, wine and coffee. Blood is removed with cold water.
Our UV coated and Laminate surfaces are approved for hospital cleaning products containing up to 70% alcohol.
On building site
– Avoid exposure to strong and direct sunlight.
– Do not slide products on each other. Lean panels against a wall for short term storage.
– Do not expose visible surfaces to sharp objects during installation.
– Protect both non-installed and installed Planks from impact coming from ladders, trolleys, furniture installation, etc, including all other workers and their tools.
