Gyptone edge D1™ system
Installation manual
Product description
Gyptone edge D1 is a pre-painted, demountable suspended acoustic ceiling,
mounted in a concealed grid system (T-24).
Gyptone ceilings can be used for many
applications, like schools, offices and commercial settings. Gyptone edge D1 is fully
demountable and gives good opportunities for inspection in the cavity above the
ceiling. Gyptone edge D1 is available with
perforated and non- perforated surfaces.
Thickness is 12,5 mm and the format
600 x 600 mm.
Plenum height
Min and max plenum heights with T-grid
system can be found on page 5.
Surfaces
Gyptone ceiling tiles with edge D1 is painted from the factory. The color used is white
(NCS0500) with a gloss value of 5-9 according to ISO 2813. Further painting is to be
done with a shorthaired paint roller as
spray painting will impair the acoustic
performance.
Grid system
Gyptone edge D1 is installed on a QuickLock T-24 grid system. The system is suspended and should be installed with
suitable hangers. Gyptone edge D1 must
be installed according to this installation
manual as well as the general specification of the project.
Fire resistance
A2-s1, d0.
Load
The max point load for each tile, with a
deflection of max 2 mm is 1 kg. If higher
load is needed the installations needs
to be fixed to the slab above with dedicated suspensions. Max point load for the
grid is 0,5 kg. Max load equally spread on
the main beams is 2 kg/m for T24 grid
system.
Stability
Gyptone edge D1 is to be installed and
used in rooms with relative humidity not
permanently exceeding 70% or temperatures exceeding 45 degrees Celsius.
Weight
Non perforated Gyptone edge D1 = 9 kg/m²
Perforated Gyptone edge D1 = 8 kg/m²
Cleaning
Can be cleaned with a damp cloth. Do not
use detergents. Always use clean gloves
when installing Gyptone edge D1.
Maintenance
If damages on edges or surfaces occurs,
It is recommended to replace the
damaged tile.

The placement of the wall angle is marked with a bubble level/
chalk line and mounted with a flat headed screw suitable for
the wall per max. 300 mm. The first screw should be no more
than 50 mm from a corner. The wall angles should not be
shorter than 300 mm. Cut the wall angles in close mitre at the
corner joints. If the wall is uneven, mount a thin wooden list
behind the wall angle.
Hangers for the main beam are placed in rows per 600 mm.
The first main beam 200 - 600 mm from the wall. First hanger
in main beam max 100 mm from the wall. Other hangers per
max 1200 mm. See illustration on page 4. The hook of the
hanger must be squeezed together with a pair of nippers.
15 mm
C
At the longitudinal assembly of the main beams the couplings
should be pushed together until they click. Adjust the hangers
to ensure all main beams are in level with the wall angle. The
main beam should not be rested on the wall angle, but placed
approx. 15 mm over the wall angle.
D
Distance between profiles
When mounting the cross tees, always place the hook in the
right side of the slot seen from the mounting side. Cross tees
are mounted at each 1200 mm, see illustration on page 4. The
cross tee is placed by the first hanger. The length of the cross
tee closest to the wall is adjusted. The grid system is adjusted
to the accurate height. Every 5th main beam and all cross tees
against the wall, are fixed to the wall with wall brackets.

When mounting the Gyptone tiles, use cotton gloves. The tiles
are lifted perpendicular into the grid system. The J-profile is
slid over the edge of the main beam, and the tile is placed
in position with the Z-profile resting on the opposite main
beam. Slide/push the tiles in place in the direction of the main
beam. Be careful not to damage the tiles. Mounting of tiles
should always be started from the center of the room. All
installations should be completed before mounting the tiles.
G
When mounting the friezes against the wall, place 2 wall
springs per tile. The short side of the spring is squeezed
between the wall angle and the wall.
F
Adjusting the frieze tiles against the wall: The front of the tile
is marked. The Z and J profile on the back is shortened with
a hacksaw or similar. Turn the tile and cut the tile cardboard.
Frieze tiles should not be cut with an undersize of more than
max 5 mm.
