Gustafs / Capax Installation systems / Mix installation – ceiling

Mix installation – ceiling

Mix and match rib widths, depths, and materials without technical compromise. Combine the soft, textile texture of Feltfon Ribs with the elegant, natural wooden surfaces of our veneered gypsum Ribs to create distinctive linear patterns and visual variation. The integrated F-line linear LED profiles align perfectly within the system for seamless illumination. The Capax MIX system also supports both Feltfon Acoustic Baffles and fully veneered Blayde Baffles, enabling flexible grill or baffle ceiling designs. A high-performance and robust ceiling system — fully demountable, precisely aligned, and remarkably user-friendly.

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 guide

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 3263 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 7b

7b. The ribs can be installed with spacing of 24 mm, 86 mm, or 148 mm. The spacing can be increased in increments of 62 mm.

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-CF-80 to the concealed track of the Linear Rib.

STEP 12

12. Use 5 pcs of U-FIX-CF-80 per 2400 mm length with a maximum cc interval of 600 mm.

A = 600 ± 10 mm

STEP 13

13. Attach the Linear Ribs to the BASE-CF carrier, starting in position A.

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

STEP 14

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

STEP 15

15. The end of a rib must not protrude unsupported more than max 200 mm.

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

GUSTAFS LIGHTING

Linear LED lighting

Gustafs F-LINE light fixtures are designed in harmony with our Gustafs Linear Rib System.

Gustafs F-Line is an integrated linear lighting designed to be fully compatible with our Capax MIX installation system for Gustafs Linear Rib. This means that the installation of linear LED lighting is as reliable and quick to mount.

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 panels and ribs 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
