PART 3 - EXECUTION
3.1
EXAMINATION
A.
Examine substrates, areas, and conditions, including structural framing and substrates to which
acoustical tile ceilings attach or abut, with Installer present, for compliance with requirements
specified in this and other Sections that affect ceiling installation and anchorage and for
compliance with requirements for installation tolerances and other conditions affecting
performance of the Work.
B.
Examine acoustical tiles before installation. Reject acoustical tiles that are wet, moisture
damaged, or mold damaged.
C.
Proceed with installation only after unsatisfactory conditions have been corrected.
3.2
PREPARATION
A.
Measure each ceiling area and establish layout of acoustical tiles to balance border widths at
opposite edges of each ceiling. Avoid using less-than-half-width tiles at borders unless
otherwise indicated, and comply with layout shown on reflected ceiling plans.
B.
Layout openings for penetrations centered on the penetrating items.
3.3
INSTALLATION OF SUSPENDED ACOUSTICAL TILE CEILINGS
A.
Install suspended acoustical tile ceilings according to manufacturer's written instructions.
B.
Suspend ceiling hangers from building's structural members and as follows:
1.
2.
3.
4.
Install hangers plumb and free from contact with insulation or other objects within ceiling
plenum that are not part of supporting structure or of ceiling suspension system.
Splay hangers only where required to miss obstructions; offset resulting horizontal forces
by bracing, countersplaying, or other equally effective means.
Where width of ducts and other construction within ceiling plenum produces hanger
spacings that interfere with location of hangers at spacings required to support standard
suspension-system members, install supplemental suspension members and hangers in
form of trapezes or equivalent devices.
Secure wire hangers to ceiling suspension members and to supports above with a
minimum of three tight turns. Connect hangers directly to structure or to inserts, eye
screws, or other devices that are secure and appropriate for substrate and that will not
deteriorate or otherwise fail due to age, corrosion, or elevated temperatures.

Secure flat, angle, channel, and rod hangers to structure, including intermediate framing
members, by attaching to inserts, eye screws, or other devices that are secure and
appropriate for both the structure to which hangers are attached and the type of hanger
involved. Install hangers in a manner that will not cause them to deteriorate or fail due to
age, corrosion, or elevated temperatures.
Do not support ceilings directly from permanent metal forms or floor deck. Fasten
hangers to cast-in-place hanger inserts, postinstalled mechanical or adhesive anchors, or
power-actuated fasteners that extend through forms into concrete.
Do not attach hangers to steel deck tabs.
Do not attach hangers to steel roof deck. Attach hangers to structural members.
Space hangers not more than 48 inches o.c. along each member supported directly from
hangers unless otherwise indicated; provide hangers not more than 8 inches from ends of
each member.
C.
Secure bracing wires to ceiling suspension members and to supports with a minimum of four
tight turns. Suspend bracing from building's structural members as required for hangers without
attaching to permanent metal forms, steel deck, or steel deck tabs. Fasten bracing wires into
concrete with cast-in-place or postinstalled anchors.
D.
Install edge moldings and trim of type indicated at perimeter of acoustical ceiling area and
where necessary to conceal edges of acoustical tiles.
1.
Do not use exposed fasteners, including pop rivets, on moldings and trim.
E.
Install suspension-system runners so they are square and securely interlocked with one another.
Remove and replace dented, bent, or kinked members.
F.
Arrange directionally patterned acoustical tiles as follows:
1.
G.
Install acoustical tiles in coordination with suspension system and exposed moldings and trim.
Place splines or suspension-system flanges into kerfed edges of tiles so tile-to-tile joints are
interlocked.
1.
3.4
As indicated on reflected ceiling plans.
Fit adjoining tiles to form flush, tight joints. Scribe and cut tiles for accurate fit at borders
and around penetrations through ceiling.
ERECTION TOLERANCES
