suspended ceiling applications...
Perimeter trims
The extensive range of perimeter trims are designed to
accommodate all types of suspended ceiling system
masking the edges of tiles at both the perimeters and
penetration points within a ceiling. The shadowgap type
perimeter trims provide an additional attractive feature
detail.
Channel trims are generally used for masking the cut
edges of metal ceiling tiles. Wedges hold the tile edge
tightly in place to give a clean finish. A number of self
wedging trims are available for use with System 130
supported on 16mm deep Alugrid-Q.
Threaded trims are designed to match the threadform
details of Alugrid or Alugrid-Q and are used on full tile
perimeter details.
Angle trims are designed for Trucell, mineral fibre and
GRG ceiling tile systems.
Plasterboard perimeters
Utilising a plasterboard margin can provide an attractive
feature to a suspended ceiling and minimises the need
for cut tiles. This solution is particularly effective for
irregular perimeters, corridors and small cellular spaces
with existing structural walls.
Important: Plasterboard should be independently
suppor ted using a M/F system for margin widths over
450mm.

dry lining profiles...
Installation
Erect the framing and fix plasterboard lining in accord-
ance with the required specification. Cut SAS profiles as
necessar y using a fixed power saw. Accurate cutting will
facilitate neat butt and mitred joints. Test fit the pro-
files. Three fixing methods are available, dependent on
circumstance.
Note: For best results the ribbed area of the tapered
fins for both the polyester powder coated and high
porosity primed versions should be abraded allowing the
plaster finishes to key the sur face though the punched
holes to the plasterboard.
