Through appropriate selection and placement of USG acoustical ceiling systems, it is possible to improve speech intelligibility, reduce unwanted noise or increase privacy within a space or between adjacent offices. The USG ceiling tile range meets or exceeds the minimum requirements of BS8290 (1991) as defined as: a. Normal environments (max. 25±2°C/65±5%RH) b. High humidity environments (max. 40±2°C/90±5%RH) Sound attenuation: “Sound attenuation” refers to the attenuation of noise passing into a room from outside, such as room-to-room noise or noise from above ceiling services. The test data in dB (DncW) for each tile gives guidance on the sound insulation, but they should be seen in the context of the overall room construction as per ASTM C423. fast and easy to install but also easy to remove without the need for tools. • For applications in extreme environmental conditions such as exterior soffits, Sound absorption: “Sound absorption” describes the reduction of noise within a room. Acoustic ceiling tiles absorb sound energy and serve to control acoustic reverberation time. Different tile patterns provide different levels of sound absorption as per ASTM E1414. • NRC stands for Noise Reduction Coefficient. It is a measure of how sound is absorbed by a given material. It is listed as a decimal and relates to percentage sound absorbed. • CAC stands for Ceiling Attenuation Class. It is the measure of the blocking of sound through one ceiling plane, into the plenum above, and through the other ceiling plane to an adjacent space. Humidity resistance selector Extreme heat, humidity and fluctuating climatic conditions can shorten the life of a ceiling system. The connection of temperature to relative humidity (RH) is crucial in determining the best product for any application. USG’s specially formulated ceiling panels resist high heat and humidity without visible sag and are available in a range of performance options up to 100% RH/40°C. Acoustical ceilings absorb and/or attenuate sound. The two main acoustical performance ratings indicate panel performance: CAC: defines the amount of sound passing through a panel and the plenum into an adjacent space W, NRC: defines the average sound absorption of a ceiling system DncW: defines the average ‘room to room’ sound attenuation of a ceiling system. parking garages or swimming pools, products with 100% RH/40°C are recommended. Install with DONN Brand DX24-K corrosion resistant grid. USG offers a lifetime (30 year) limited warranty on ultra high performance tiles and a 15 year limited warranty on high performance tiles when installed on USG’s DONN Brand suspension grid. Refer to USG technical services for details. USG ceiling systems must be installed and maintained in accordance with current USG written instructions and industry best practice as defined by BS 8290. • For applications with uncontrolled environmental conditions, natural ventilation systems or in humid areas such as washrooms, kitchens or wet process areas, products with 95-99%RH/40°C or better are recommended. • For applications with intermittent heating and cooling systems, products with 90%RH/32°C or better are recommended. • For applications with normal controlled environmental conditions, products with 70% RH/29°C or better are suitable. Fire rating selector Life safety and protection of property are important considerations in the design and specification of acoustical ceiling systems. Specially formulated Firecode (FC) rated ceiling panels are a crucial component of USG’s tested fire protection systems. Specification and installation must be in accordance with the selected fire test description of the system. Fire protection Structural fire protection BS 476 parts 21 and 23. Suspended ceilings can be used to provide protection to the structural elements of a building. In the event of a fire, the ceiling membrane protects the structure for a period of time enabling evacuation and fire fighting. The period of protection is determined by testing to BS 476 p23. Testing to BS 476 part 21, section 7, determines the protection provided to a loaded timber floor structure. In order to ensure the validity of a “fire protecting” ceiling, installation must be as described in the relevant test report. Any alteration may affect the fire protection capabilities of that ceiling system. Class A signifies that a panel is non-combustible based and has attained a flame spread index of 25 or less on ASTM E-84 testing procedures. Firecode signifies that a panel has been classified as a protective membrane in accordance with the standard ASTM E 119. It can be used in a UL fire-rated assembly to achieve a time-rated assembly. The time rated assembly includes the entire floorceiling or roof-ceiling assembly. All firecode protective membranes offered by USG have attained a Class A rating. Reaction to fire Ceiling products are generally considered suitable for multi-use buildings when the products conform to BS 476 part 6 and 7. BS 476 part 6 is the fire propagation classification which compares the constitution of combustible materials to the development of fire – performance class 0. BS 476 part 7 is the surface spread of flame classification which indicates the tendency of materials to support the spread of flame across the surface. (Best performance Class 1, worst performance Class 4.) All USG tiles achieve Class 1 and Class 0 as designated by BS 476 part 7 and 6, and as required by Building Regulations Approved Document B. Per ASTM E84. For further information or advice on our testing, products or relevant standards, please contact your local representative or our Technical Services Department. 18 Light reflectance selector The Light Reflectance selector identifies USG ceiling panels that efficiently reflect light within a space to enhance indirect lighting, reduce energy consumption and create a warm, luminous aesthetic. Measured per ASTM E14771, LR value represents the percentage of light reflected from the surface of a material. The industry average for panels is LR .70 to .80, and values above LR .85 are considered high. USG offers numerous panels with LR values at these levels, including SONATA, MARS CLIMAPLUS, OLYMPIA II and OLYMPIA MICRO PERFORATED, with LR .89. • Choosing high-LR ceiling panels is a great way to improve the utility and comfort of the spaces you design and make your projects bright and inviting. Indirect lighting, combined with high-LR panels, can eliminate dark, shadowy areas and too-bright hot spots, improving the look and feel of a space and minimizing eyestrain (a cause of employee fatigue). High-LR ceilings can also help conserve energy and cut operating costs by achieving the same light levels with fewer fixtures and lower-wattage bulbs. Fewer fixtures also mean less repairs and lower maintenance costs. Architects typically select high-LR ceiling for spaces that make extensive use of indirect lighting. However, these panels can enhance almost any lighting scheme and so can be an effective choice for many design applications. Many USG panels with high LR values also feature high NRC and CAC ratings so you dont have to compromise acoustics for aesthetics. Panels are available in a range of textures including smooth and very fine, many include CLIMAPLUS performance, and several are cast products, which provide a higher level of durability to resisit and hide scrapes and scratches.

USG offers many options to meet a diverse range of specialized performance needs. Abuse resistance Routine plenum access can blemish panels with unsightly scratches, and chips and dents can occur in high – traffic areas such as hallways, classrooms and gyms. When durability is key, consider the following products. Specially formulated mineral-fiber ceiling panels feature higherdensity construction and special finishes to enhance durability and damage resistance. Panel include: RADARTM CLIMAPLUSTM High-Durability panels deliver 20% greater durability than competitive “school products” and 50% more than standard acoustical panels. MARS TM CLIMAPLUSTM panels resist visible damage in independently verified surface scratch tests and withstand 150 scrub cycles without surface break using the Gardner Scrubability Test, per ASTM D24861 Cast ceiling panels, available exclusively from USG, are formed and cured in molds, making them up to three times stronger than standard panels. Cast panels feature an integrally color-coordinated substrate to mask nicks or scrapes. Panels include: • FrostTM CLIMAPLUSTM • GlacierTM • SandriftTM CLIMAPLUSTM Humidity Resistance Moist air in indoor pool areas, shower and locker rooms, and buildings not fully enclosed can cause standard panels to visibly sag. For high-humidity areas, choose panels with CLIMAPLUS performance. These products resist sag in up to 95% relative humidity and up to 104 °F. RADARTM Ceramic CLIMAPLUSTM panels even resist sag in up to 100% relative humidity. CLIMAPLUS products carry a limited warranty of up to 30 years when installed in a DONN ® brand suspension system. Sustainability 21 Fire Resistance Sustainable Design USG offers many ceiling panels with FIRECODETM formulation, which provides special additives for increased fire resistance. Fire-rated suspension main tees are manufactured with relief notches that will contract in high heat to hold the ceiling assembly together and prevent collapse. Fire-rated panels and suspension system components are identified with the fire icon on the individual product pages in this catalog. Sustainable design seeks to create structures that require fewer natural resources to build, maintain and adapt to future uses. Key strategies include choosing quality, lasting materials and creating flexible, multi - functional spaces. Consumers have become increasingly aware of the need to conserve energy, manage raw materials, reduce waste and safeguard against pollutants. In response, many developers and owners now demand buildings that will help save energy, preserve the integrity of surrounding land and assure a clean, healthy indoor environment. CLEANLINESS Sustainable Table - USG Middle East Cleanrooms, food preparation areas and computer rooms require ceilings with specific attributes and performance levels. CLEAN ROOMTM CLIMAPLUSTM Class 10M-100M and Class 100 panels feature vinyl laminated surfaces and meet Federal Standard 209E, “Clean Room and Work Station Requirements Controlled Environments”. SHEETROCK® brand CLEAN ROOMTM lay-in ceiling panels with gypsum core, sealed edges and vinyl face and back, can also be used in cleanrooms up to Class 100. Cleanroom-rated applications require a suspension system with gasketed tees such as the DONN® CE system. For food preparation areas, choose Class 100 panels or SHEETROCK® Vinyl CLIMAPLUSTM layin ceiling panels, which meet U.S. Department of Agriculture Food Safety Inspection Service requirements.

Product USG's commitment to health, safety and environmental responsibility is evident at every stage in the life cycle chain. 22 Sustainability 23 Design that require fewer Natural resources: • Energy conservation • Raw Material Management • Waste Reduction • Safeguard against pollutants In response, many developers and owners now demand buildings that will help save energy, preserve the integrity of surrounding land and assure a clean, healthy indoor environment. 1 | Indoor Environmental Quality: Indoor environmental quality (IEQ) refers to all environmental factors that affect the health and well-being of building occupants. IEQ includes such factors as Indoor Air Quality (IAQ), comfort, humidity, air exchange, acoustics and lighting quality. Many USG ceiling panels help to support healthy environments with reduced Volatile Organic Compound (VOC) emissions Formaldehyde Performance: Formaldehyde is an important industrial chemical used to make chemicals, building materials, and household products. Exposure The OSHA Permissible Exposure Limit (PEL) for formaldehyde is 750 ppb (0.75 ppm) per 8-hour TWA (Time Weighted Average, the average exposure over an 8-hour work period). Content The presence of formaldehyde must be reported if the concentration of formaldehyde exceeds 0.1 percent of weight. All USG ceilings are well below these levels. To help building professionals create healthy spaces, USG offers many ceiling panels and tiles that emit no formaldehyde or such low levels as to exceed stringent standards established by the collaborative for High-Performance Schools (CHPS). This high performance comes standard on these products, with no additional charge or lead time. Ceiling with Little or No Formaldehyde Requirements as per CHPS (Collaborative For High Performance Schools) • Zero VOC Emission for All CAST Ceilings (level<2mg or 1.6 ppb) • Low-Emitting Ceilings (level < 13.5 ppb) • Meets minimum Standards (state of Washington Level < 50 ppb) 2 | Recycled and Renewable Ingredients: Many USG acoustical ceiling panels contain mineral wool derived from slag, a byproduct of steelmaking, reducing the need to mind and process raw materials and minimizing landfill waste. Many panels also contain recycled paper. Zero-Emitting Ceilings 0 ppb Zero Low-Emitting Less than 13.5 ppb >13.5 Meets Minimum Standarts Less than 50 ppb > 50 Post-Industrial (Pre-Consumer) materials are generated by manufacturers and processors, and may consist of scrap, trimmings and other by-products that were never used in the consumer market. Post-Industrial and Pre-Consumer are one in the same under the USGBC LEED® rating systems. Post-Consumer material is an end product that has completed its life cycle as a consumer item and would otherwise have been disposed of as a solid waste. Post-consumer materials include recyclables collected in commercial and residential recycling programs, such as officer paper, cardboard, aluminum cans, plastics and metals. Binders are derived from corn and wheat starch, which are renewable agricultural resources. The metal in many of our specialty ceiling and drywall suspension systems includes recycled content. Aluminum offers additional benefits in that it can be fully re-purposed by re-melting and salvaging the metal. Energy & Atmosphere Responsible Manufacturing USG ceilings = high recycled content (HRC) Materials & Resources Recycling is only a part of the story. Careful production methods are good for the environment and increase efficiency.

USG Corporation is a founding member of the U.S. Green Building Council. The Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) is a rating system that encourages the design and construction of environmentally friendly buildings LEED was created to define “green building” by establishing a common standard of measurement and promote integrated, wholebuilding design practices. Credit are awarded based on the five key areas of human and environmental health: sustainable site development, water savings, energy efficiency, materials selection, and indoor environmental quality. Choosing zero-emitting and low-emitting ceiling products can also help earn LEED credits. Section 3.2, IAQ Management Plan, Before Occupancy, requires a total formaldehyde concentration of 50 ppb or less. As one of the largest surfaces in a space, a ceiling with zero – or low – emitting panels makes a strong contribution toward achieving valuable credits – and creating healthy, sustainable environments.

Taiga II Hygiene • Noise Reduction coefficient (NRC) : 15% • Ceiling Attenuation Class (CAC): 35 - 39 dB • Light Reflectance ( LRC): 85 % In its continuous improvement, USGME offers an invention in mineral fiber ceiling tiles. Normally, the ceiling tiles have a tendency to stain when in contact with water due to condensation on pipes and duct work above the ceiling. The condensate can drip into the backside of the ceiling tiles and migrate to the visible side of the tile. The water droplets can leach tannin from recycled materials and other cellulosic based materials and staining agent from the paint surface of the tile. USG’s new invention provides an economical solution to minimize water stains at the visible face of the panel. This invention creates a barrier to water droplets at the backside of the panel allowing the droplet to evaporated before it can migrate through the panel. This treatment provides a Water Shield to mineral fiber tiles in a practical and cost effective way. 27 28 Clean Room Clean Room ClimaPlus ClimaPlus 29 Description Applications • Accessible acoustical ceiling • System sealed edges, embossed vinyl laminated face and sealed back • Sterile rooms • Healthcare • Food/ beverage processing • Laboratories • Office computer rooms • Operating rooms Features and Benefits Warranty 10 year panel or 30 year system warranty Classification • Cleanroom classified, Federal Spec. 209 E class 100 • Anti-microbial, washable • Air filtration resistant •Panels meet USDA/FSIS requirements for food processing areas • High humidity resistant • Easy to install ASTM E 1264 classification, type X, Pattern G,I and C, G, I.

Measurement and placement of the tees will be on centre (o.c.), meaning from the centre of one to the centre of the next. Planning starts with a drawing of the room that shows all walls, including bays, alcoves beams and stairwells. Note which direction the joists (if any) are running, or if architectural drawings necessitate working in one direction or another. Determine the lines for main runners and cross tees in such a way that the tiles that about the wall are at least half a tile (300mm). To confirm level, stretch a string until taut along the positions which the main tee will occupy. Inserting a nail between the wall and the wall angle at marked locations serves as a good anchor for this purpose. Stretch another string across the room where the first row of cross tees will be located. This identifies where the first prepunched slots need to fall. Check to be sure the cross tee string is at 90° to the main tee string via the 3-4-5 method. Install the hangers at 1200mm o.c. above the lines of the main runners. Fix to the structure above using appropriate plugs, screws or other devices. Step 4 ➊ ➊ Main tee 3600/3660mm ➋ ➋ ➌ Cross Tee 1200/1220mm ➌ Cross Tee Attach the main runners to the hangers. In each row, trim the main tee so that the cross-tee slot will line up with the cross-tee string. Mount main tees, resting the cut end of the main tee on the wall angle. The cut end of the main runner should be about 5mm away from the wall. Step 7 Removal as easy as installation. Just grasp the main tee with one thumb under the main tee-cross tee connection and, pushing up with the thumb, give the main tee a quick, short twist. That’s all it takes – no tools needed. The strong clip means that the grid can be reinstalled straightaway with no tearing or bending of the clip. 600/610mm Steps 5/6 Step 2 ➊ Main Tee 3600/3660mm ➋ Cross Tee 1200/1220mm ➌ Cross Tee 600/610mm ➍ Hanger The appearance of a suspended acoustical ceiling is dependent both on the materials used and on the quality of the installation. USG manufactures components to meet BS8290 & BS EN 13964, assuring that the material, structural and quality standards are as prescribed. Installation must meet BS8290, assuring proper level and secure attachment as prescribed.Good construction conditions are very important when successfully installing a suspended ceiling. It is recommended that the temperature and humidity range be 14 – 25°C and max. 75% relative humidity. Store materials in a protected area, store tiles on the job at least 3 days prior to installation. Mark the desired ceiling height (maintaining at least 70mm clearance below the lowest duct, pipe or beam.) Measure and mark the walls at all corners above the installation level (= add the height of the wall angle to the desired ceiling height.) Snap a chalk line and test for level. Measuring down from joists or up from the floor is not recommended, since neither may be level. Install wall angle with top edge of angle at the chalk line, spacing appropriate fixings 450mm o.c. or closer. Cut and mitre outside and inside angles at 45°, fitting them snugly together. Alternatively, simply butt angles at corner (as in system illustration). Step 8 Step 5 Install cross tees, assuring that they are adequately connected to main tees (they “click” in place when properly seated). Where two cross tees intersect in the same slot, insert second cross-tee end to the left of the first. Where a cross-tee is installed without an opposing cross-tee, a nail should be slipped into the opening of the cross-tee clip to maintain the pull-out value for the cross-tee. Main tee demounting Using a straight shearing motion, push with your left hand and pull with your right hand to disconnect the main runner splice. Note: do not twist the splice during the removal procedure Other installation tips ma x. 4 x Hanger positions 50m m Step 6 Lay in panels, beginning at one corner and completing row by row. Tilt each panel up through the opening and lower it to rest squarely on all four tees. A Cut tees with aviation snips, first the stem and then the flanges. B Cut mineral fibre panels with utility knife and straight edge, cutting the face first. Cut panels should be at least 15mm larger than the opening. C To install panels around obstructions, draw their exact locations on the panels and cut out. Then cut the panel in two parts through the largest section of the cut-out to enable fitting. D To trim for Shadowline edge, use a utility knife to cut the panel, first at the face, then from the edge, to the same depth as Shadowline. If windows, stairwells, etc., extend above the ceiling plane, build suitable valances and attach wall angle. 76 DONN® DX24 Intermidiate Duty 77 Main Runner DX3600IM Tile edge supported DX24 / SLT DX 24 / Suspension wire - DSW2 DX24 / Angle section - DGA5 Long Cross Tee DX1200LM DX24 / SQ DX24 / SLB Cross section Main tee and cross tee connection.

Uniform Loads - kg/lm (linear metre) As worldwide leaders in acoustical ceiling systems, USG Interior works with the major lighting manufacturers to ensure system compatibility is maintained. The following guidlines are designed to assist in the correct specification and installation of light fittings in USG's DONN Exposed Grid and acoustical ceiling systems. ْUniform loads are loads that are transferred evenly along a given tee. The maximum load is the combined load on both sides of the tee. Example: A 1200 x 600 light fitting weighing 12.6 kg applies a load of 3.5 kg/lm (1.2 + 0.6 + 1.2 + 0.6 = 3.6 lm therefore 12.6 kg / 3.6 lm = 3.5 kg/lm) A 1200 x 600 ceiling panel weighing 3.6 kg applies a load of 1 kg /lm The combined load of light and ceiling panel is 4.5 kg/lm. The maximum allowable uniform load is the lesser of either main or cross tee values. DONN DX Component Luminaire Positioning Typical recessed pan fitting arrangements are shown below. Main Tees at 1200mm centres are shown horizontal, with suspension at 1200mm centres. • Refer to Loadings (page 64 this brochure) for maximum allowable point loads, uniform loads and gross ceiling loads depending on type of luminaire and DONN grid selected. Where luminaire weight exceeds point or uniform load maximums consider: a) A higher specifications DONN grid option if applicable (refer to Loadings page 64 this brochure to ensure compliance). b) Independent support from structure. c) Additional suspension points as shown below, or similar. Uniform Load kg/lm Main Tee DX3600H (m)* 16.8 DX3600I (m)* 11.6 Cross Tee NOTES: •Values are based on simple span tests in accordance with recognised International Standard ASTM C635. Higher values can often be attained by allowing for the effect of continuous spans, the actual increase being subject to span arrangements. Please contact USG Interiors for guidance. • For cross-nogged configurations e.g.: where a 1200x600 mm panel runs parallel with the main tee, the spacing values should be used as for 1200x1200mm module. • Where main tees are at 1200mm centres, creating a 600x600mm configuration does not significantly increase load carrying limits.

It includes a wide range of profiles and colours and is fully compatible with all USG ceiling tiles as well as most third party brands. Precision design and quality manufacturing ensure both structural and aesthetic integrity in all ceiling designs. USG offers the following suspension system and edge details options. Select a suspension system and match it with a corresponding panel edge details, or vice versa, to assure proper system fit and assembly System performance USG ceiling systems should be installed in accordance with recommendations described within this catalogue and the DONN grid application guide. System performance following any substitution of materials or compromises in assembly cannot be guaranteed and may result in failure under critical conditions. Reference should be made to BS 8290 1991 Suspended Ceilings parts 1, 2 and 3, and the European Standard for Suspended Ceilings BS EN 13964:2004. Site storage and handling Storage on site should be as short as possible with environmental conditions as near as possible to those specified for occupancy (see below). Any storage area should be secure and fully protected from the weather with cartons stored on a clean, dry base. Cartons of material should never be rolled, dropped or slid, and under no circumstances used as a workbase or substitute for ladders, scaffolding, etc. Pattern direction With directional face patterns, such as Glacier and Sandrift, the orientation of pattern relative to light sources should be carefully considered for desired visual effect, and specified and installed accordingly. Variations in colour and fissure size in Glacier and Sandrift ceiling tiles will be of little consequence within a single production batch. However, minor variations can occur from time to time, and projects should be planned so that all material for continuous ceiling space is ordered and delivered from the same production batch. Some USG tiles are marked with a directional arrow on the back and should always be installed with this in alignment to ensure total consistency of pattern and paint shade in a Production batch. Overlaid material Wherever possible, overlaid material such as insulation, should not be laid directly on the back of the ceiling membrane, as this will compromise the fire resistant properties of the ceilings. In normal conditions (BS 8290), overlaid material should not exceed 3.6kg/m2 weight. For high humidity environments, overlaid installation shall be limited to 1.2 kg/m2. Installation/environmental conditions 1 2 3 4 5 1- MI/L Angle with SQ edge. 2- L Angle-Standard angle (shown with site cut shadow edge tile). 3- MS-Shadowline trim 4- M/F Profile-for change of level and bulkheads 5- L Angle - Standard angle fixed to timber batten. 87 For applications with normal controlled environmental conditions, products with 70% RH/29°C or better are suitable. Installation should only take place under ambient conditions after residual moisture from concrete and plaster has dissipated.The recommended relative humidity should not exceed 70% RH within a temperature range 65-85°F, 18-29°C for installation and occupancy. Once ceiling installation has commenced, it is essential that RH% and temperature be maintained at acceptable levels by heating the building if necessary. Dry heating should be employed and paraffin or gas heaters avoided. These recommendations should still be applied between completion of contract and the occupation of the building. Unoccupied buildings with uncontrolled atmospheres may have a wide temperature range during a 24 hour period which could lead to an unacceptable change in dimension stability of the ceiling panels, causing excessive sag. For applications with intermittent heating and cooling systems, products with 90%RH/32°C or better are recommended. (See Humidity selector, page 15.)For applications with uncontrolled environmental conditions, natural ventilation systems or in humid areas such as washrooms, kitchens or wet process areas, products with 95-99%RH/40°C or better are recommended. (See Humidity selector, page 15.)Radar Ceramic and Sonatone ceiling panels perform especially well in areas such as swimming pools, where the ceiling may be subject to unusually high levels of humidity up to 100% RH and chemical attack. They should be installed with USG DONN Corrosion Resistant ceiling grid and appropriate hangers to resist corrosion. All USG tiles should be protected from sustained direct contact with water except the treated one as water shield. Maintenance and cleaning General cleaning of dust and loose dirt may be easily achieved using a soft brush or vacuum cleaner. Soiled panels can be cleaned with an art gum eraser or dampened cloth or sponge containing as little water as possible. Clean Room tiles can be wet wiped on a regular basis without damage. Panels should never be soaked or immersed in water. Cleaning can also be carried out by specialist contractors using proprietary methods and chemicals. It is strongly recommended that a trial area be cleaned to ensure that there is no detrimental effect on the ceiling panel or grid. Re-decoration It should be noted that a new paint finish may compromise the Surface Spread of Flame classification and acoustic absorption for that panel. Please consult the USG Technical Services Department for expert advice and recommendations. Custom products In addition to a wide standard range, USG can satisfy specifiers’ needs for non-standard, specialised ceilings. Please talk to your local USG representative to arrange production of your specific ideas. 88 Ceiling Systems Warranties and Limitations All USG DONN brand suspension systems, when used with any USG ceiling panels or tiles or SHEETROCK brand gypsum lay-in ceiling panels, carry a lifetime (30-year) warranty that our products shall be free from manufacturing defects and that the suspension systems shall be free from the occurrence of 50% red rust as defined by ASTM D610 test procedures for 30 years from the date of installation. USG ceiling panels and tiles with CLIMAPLUS performance are specially formulated to endure environments with up to 100% relative humidity and temperatures up to 104 F. these panels carry a limited warranty against visible sag for 30 years when installed in a DONN suspension system. Sag resistance is measured under 'Standard Test Method for strength Properties of Pre-fabricated Architectural Acoustical Tile or Lay-in Ceiling Panels'.ASTM C367-05. The Test Method cautions (Section 17.3) that it "is not designed to establish the expected performance of the ceiling panels under field conditions of use, but only the sag properties for the specific temperature, humidity, exposure time and mounting conditions used in the test. Neither this test method nor any other laboratory test we are aware of can predict long-term sag resistance. we do know that the higher the relative humidity and temperature, and the longer the time these conditions prevail, the more susceptible to sag are the ceiling panels, Nevertheless, USG has offered sag resistant ceiling panels for more than 20 years, and we have very rarely received sag complaints. this excellent field performance is expected because the formulations of both core and/or backing, depending on the particular panel, inherently impart sag resistance. Avoidance of extreme temperature and humidity conditions are regular cleaning will enhance sag resistance and all other performance attributes of the ceiling panels. USG CKIMAPLUS ceiling panels with superior performance are warranted to be free from the growth of mold, mildew, and Gram-negative odor- and stain-causing bacteria for 30 years from the date of installation. these ceiling panels include an antimicrobial treatment on the painted surface that contains a mold-inhabiting agent that provides broad-spectrum control for the growth of mold and mildew over the warranty period; these ceiling panels also resist the growth of Gram-psitive and Gram-negative odor and stain causing bacteria. CLIMAPLUS fiberglass and RADAR Ceramic CLIMAPLUS ceiling panels do not have Superior performance antimicrobial treatment;they are warranted to be free from the growth of mold, mildew, and odor-and stain- causing bacteria for 30 years from the date of installation due to the inherent characteristics of the products. CLEAN ROOM CLIMAPLUS and SHEETROCK CLIMAPLUS gypsum lay-in panels do not feature the Superior performance antimicrobial treatment and therefore are not included in the 30-Year Antimicrobial System warranty. All USG limited warranties are subject to use under normal conditions. abnormal conditions include exposure to chemical fumes, vibration, moisture from conditions such as leaks or condensation, excessive humidity, or excessive dirt or dust buildup. By "lifetime" we mean the useful life of the ceiling system, up to a maximum of 30 years. Lifetime (30-Year) Limited Warranty 89 The CLIMAPLUS warranty periods for these and other USG products and systems are as follows: Ceiling Systems Panel/Tile ClimaPlus Panels & Tile plus DONN Suspension System Lifetime 30 Years Lifetime 30 Years All other USG Ceiling Panels & Tile plus DONN Suspension System 1 Years Lifetime 30 Years USG Specialty Ceiling 1 Years ____ Individual Products Panel/Tile ClimaPlus Panels & Tile 10 Years __ All other USG Ceiling Panels & Tile 1 Years __ DONN Suspension Systems ____ 10 Years Suspension System Warranties Suspension System All warranties are subject to the following terms and conditions: Exept where stated otherwise on specific product warranties, all USG warranties cover original owner of the building at the time of installation. Who is covered? In the unlikely event of product performance failure, at our election USG will replace the goods or we will refund or credit an amount equal to the (original) purchase price of the goods within warranted conditions. The building owner is responsible for all costs associated with removal and installation. What will USG do? All ceiling products and system must be installed and maintained in accordance with current USG written instructions and best industry practice, including the CISCA Handbook and ASTM C636. "Standard Practice for Installation of Metal ceiling suspension system for Acoustical tile and lay-in panels. "SHEETROCK Gypsum panels used with USG Drywall suspension system are not covered. Also, you must observe the following: What does this warranty not cover? -Care must be taken that the products are not damaged during delivery and while they are stored at the job site. -The products must always be protected from vibration, direct contact with water including condensation, and chemical fumes, both before and after installation. -These products may not be used in exterior applications, The only exception is RADAR Ceramic CLIMAPLUS, which may be used in exterior soffits. Except for ceiling with superior performance, CLIMAPLUS fiberglass ceiling panels and RADAR Ceramic CLIMAPLUS ceiling panels, the growth of mold or bacteria is not covered by this warranty nor it is the responsibility of USG. All products should be maintained to avoid excessive dirt or dust buildup or the presence of excessive moisture that would provide a medium for microbial growth on ceiling panels. Damage that may occur from vibration,fire, water, freezing temperature, accident, any form of abuse or exposure to abnormal conditions is no covered in this warranty. If subject to abnormal conditions, the products should be removed immediately and replaced once the conditions are normal. 90 Ceiling Systems Warranties and Limitations All ceiling products and suspension systems must be installed and maintained in accordance with USG written installation instructions for that product in effect at the time of installation and best industry practice. Prior to, during, and after installation, the ceiling product must be kept clean and dry, and maintained in an environment free of chemical fumes or vibration, not subject to abnormal conditions and within the following conditions: Performance Level Environmental Limitations Radar Ceramic CLIMAPLUS 60-104° F (16-40° C) Up to 100 % RH CLIMAPLUS Ceiling 60-104° F (16-40° C) Up to 95 % RH Standard Commercial Ceilings 60-85° F (16-29° C) Up to 70 % RH Warranty Conditions 1- RADAR Ceramic ceiling panels with CLIMAPLUS performance will withstand corrosive chemical fumes and contain coatings and/or formulation to inhibit or retard the growth of mold and mildew. for RADAR Ceramic CLIMAPLUS ceiling panels: the sag performance warranty extends toinstallations where the ceiling product is exposed to environments subjest to temperatures of 60-104° F (16-40° C), chemical fumes, steam, and up to 100% RH, including standing water applications, so long as the product is installed with either AX or ZXLA suspension systems. For swimming pools, install only with AX or ZXLA suspension systems. For outdoor soffits, canopies and parking garages, install with ZXLA suspension system (wind uplift should be considered). For all CLIMAPLUS products (excludes CLEAN ROOM CLIMAPLUS and SHEETROCK gypsum lay-in panels): these ceilings must be maintained to avoid excessive dirt or dust buildup that would provide a medium for microbial growth on these panels or tiles. Microbial protection does not extend beyond the treated surface as received from the factory, and does not protect other materials that contact the treated surface such as supported materials. Prior to, during, and after installation, the suspension systems (excluding DXLA, AX, ZXLA and the USG drywall suspension system) shall be maintained in a temperature range of 60-104° F (16-40°C) and relative humidity shall not exceed 90%. DXLA shall be maintained in a temperature range of 60-104° F (16-40°C) and relative humidity shall not exceed 95%. AX, ZXLA and the USG Drywall suspension system shall be maintained in a temperature range from 60-104° F (16-40°C) and relative humidity can be up to 100%. The warranty does not cover rusting that occurs from building leaks or condensation. The ceiling panels must not be used to support any materials including insulation. Where insulation must be used, it should be on heavier than 1.27kg/m2 and installed with the following USG recommendations: insulation must be applied perpendicular to the suspension cross tees with the suspension system supporting the weight of the insulation. insulation is also not recommended to be used as follows: Firecode applications, unless specified and use described by underwriters laboratories, Inc. Mold or mildew growth on insulation or placed above the ceiling panel or tile are not covered by this warranty. This warranty does not cover damage caused by fire, water, accident, or by any form of abuse except normal wear and tear. Please see USG written instructions about proper maintenance, touch up, and repainting of our ceiling system. Please note that not all products can be repainted and that repainting will affect acoustical performance, appearance, microbial resistance, fire resistance, and ventilation through the ceiling panels or tiles. 91 Normal environmental conditions must prevail to warrant product performance. This warranty will not cover situations where the panels are subject to vibrations or chemical fumes or where moisture comes in contact with the ceiling panel or tile as a result of a leaking roof, a sweating pipe, a leaking radiator, a flood, condensation on windows, condensation on more subtle surfaces where dew points are reached, humidified air from the HVAC system or any other similar causes. You must notify USG-ME sales representative of the problem within 30 days of the time the problem first became apparent to you.
