Installation method
1) Adhesive and nails system

2) T-bar, Square edges system

3) T-bar, Reveal edges system




Installation conditions

1. Allow wet work, such as plaster and concrete work, to dry completely.

2. Water-proofing and flashing work should be completed.  Windows and doors should be in place and glazed.

3. Conduits and duct work should be completed.

4. Care should be taken to place air-conditioning vents and other mechanical fixtures conveniently within the suspension system.

5. Installation should be done when relative humidity is not greater than 80%.   Avoid installing the materials if relative humidity exceeds 80%.

6. There should be adequate ventilation in the installation area if the building is new and humid conditions prevail.    Before beginning installation, make certain that there is no condensation on the wall surfaces.   Also, heating system should be operating if the water or installation area is particularly cold.

7. Damaged or soiled materials should be replaced.





Job site storage

Daiken mineral acoustical materials should be stored in a dry and clean area protected from possible damage by rain and excessive moisture.   If these acoustical materials are exposed to large variations of humidity or temperature, swelling and shrikage can result.

The acoustical materials should also be protected against possible impacts and abrasions and kept at least one meter from walls.

Stack the materials flat on a level floor with protective panels or sheets between the materials and the floor.





Handling

Acoustical materials should be handled with care to prevent impact or damage to edges, ends and surfaces.  Handle these materials with clean hands or gloved hands.





Maintenance

Dust can be easily removed with a brush or a vacuum cleaner.   An alternative method is with a moist cloth or a sponge dampened in soapy water.  Use gentle strokes to wipe surfaces.    After washing, the soapy film should be wiped off with a cloth or sponge slightly dampened in clean water.

Daiken mineral acoustical materials can be repainted by spraying, brushing, or roll coating without appreciable loss of acoustical efficiency.   Dust and dirt should be thoroughly removed from the ceiling surface before repainting.
