Each Blayde is veneered on both sides and finished with solid wood lippings on all three visible edges, ensuring a harmonious and authentic wooden appearance from every angle. The Capax Quick-Up installation system provides secure, time-efficient, and fully demountable mounting with flexible spacing configurations. Blayde naturally meets up to the highest A2-s1,d0 fire classification and can be tailored with different veneers, pigmented colours, or Gustafs’ acoustic perforation Nano.

The ends of two Blayde can be fixed on the same BASE-CF profile and in the same fixation hole. The Blayde-ends will be fully fixated for perfect looking and over time lasting connections, still completely demountable.

CAPAX MIX

Before you start the installation

Plan

Select Blaydes 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%.

Installation Guide – Step by step

STEP 1

1. Suspend the Nonius ceiling hangers from the ceiling. Plan the positioning of the Nonius according to steps 3 and 4. ↓

STEP 2

2. Use the adapter NONIUS-CD to connect the BASE-CF profile to the ceiling hangers.

STEP 3

3. Suspend the BASE-CF profiles with a repeated interval of 600 mm, measured from the centrums of the profiles (cc).

A = 600 mm

Suspended Base-CF

STEP 4

4. Measured along the length of the BASE-CF, the connection to the ceiling must be made every 600 mm .

B = 600 mm

STEP 5

5. Level the height using a laser and secure the hanger with the Nonius-CD with the locking pin.

STEP 6

6. Secure the position of the NONIUS-CD by bending the 2 wings and the long leg of the locking pin.

STEP 7

7. When needed, connect the BASE-CF in-line with profile 3265 and assure the cc distance between the fixation points remains constant. Increase the friction between the engaging components by slightly twisting one corner inwards, on each BASE-CF.

STEP 8

8. Snap the distance profile 3262 perpendicular to the BASE-CF every 1200 mm.

STEP 9

9. Two distance profiles Capax 3262 will partially run parallel, where mounted on the same BASE-CF.

STEP 10

10. Install Acoustex-15 insulation or Acoustex-9 felt onto the ”T” section of the BASE-CF.

STEP 11

11. Attach U-FIX-FG to the concealed track of the Blayde.

Staple length: 10 mm

Gauge: 18

STEP 11 b

11 b. For Blaydes exceeding depth 200 mm use 2 staples per U-FIX.

Staple length: 10 mm

Gauge: 18

STEP 12

12. Use 5 pcs of U-FIX-FG per 2400 mm length with a maximum cc interval of 600 mm.

A = 600 ± 10 mm

STEP 13

13. The Blaydes can be installed with spacing of 49 mm, 80 mm, or 111 mm, 142 mm, 173 mm. The spacing can be increased in increments of 31 mm.

STEP 14

14. Attach the Blayde baffle to the BASE-CF carrier, starting in position A.

You must hear 3 ”clicks” to finalize the attachment.

STEP 15

15. The in-line connection of 2 Blaydes should be secured by a BASE-CF profile.

STEP 16

16. The end of a Blayde baffle must not protrude unsupported more than max 200 mm.

Optionally, add Acoustex-9, in the colour of choice, inside the BASE-CF.

Centre – to – Centre

Within the Capax Mix system, the centre-to-centre (cc) measurements are fixed at 62, 93, 124, 155, and 186 mm. The resulting visible spacing between profiles depends on the selected product width and configuration.

GUSTAFS LIGHTING

Linear LED Lighting

Gustafs F-Line light fixtures are designed in harmony with our Gustafs Linear products.

Gustafs F-Line R and F-Line C can be installed in between Blayde baffles.

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 baffles 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 baffles.
– Do not stack pallets.
– Keep the packaging closed during storage.
– Lift baffles flat, vertically and one at the time.
– Avoid exposure to strong and direct sunlight.

Cleaning

Cleaning 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 expose visible surfaces to sharp objects during installation.
– Do not slide products on each other. Lean baffles against a wall for short term storage.
– Protect both non-installed and installed baffles from impact coming from ladders, trolleys, furniture installation, etc, including all other workers and their tools.
