Before you start the installation

Plan

Select Ribs on colour shade and plan your ceiling installation, we recommend mixing varying shades randomly.
Deside on the installation spacing. See Approved CC dimensions >>

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 with specific screws supplied by Gustafs.

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 13.b

13 b. The spacing has a minimum of 55 mm and can be increased in increments of 31 mm.

Approved spacings Rib-HD Width 38 mm, depth 67 mm and 74 mm

55, 86, 117, 148 …. mm

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.

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.
