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

Combination possibilities

With the Capax MIX System, you can freely combine different Gustafs products — from veneered Linear Ribs and Blayde, Baffles to soft Feltfon Ribs, DNA etc. Mix widths, depths, materials, and colours to design unique linear expressions with perfect alignment. The system also integrates seamlessly with F-line LED profiles, allowing you to blend light, texture, and acoustics into one unified ceiling design.

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, using 2400 mm long Linear Rib-E

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 holes 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.
