DESCRIPTION
Decoustics Direct Mount is an acoustical panel ceiling system. Panels are installed using a mechanical z-clip (slide and engage) method of fastening direct to a firm substrate such as gypsum board, concrete, steel deck, wood or similar surface.
PANELS
All Decoustics panels are custom fabricated and offered in a variety of types, sizes, geometric shapes, ellipses, vaults, acoustical domes, thicknesses and finishes. Standard thickness tolerance ± 1/32” (1 mm).
LIMITATIONS
Essentially non-accessible. Progressive removal of panels is necessary. For curved applications (i.e.barrel vault), factory precurved channel is strongly recommended to ensure panel alignment
DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS
A perimeter reveal 1” (25 mm) wide is required around all ceiling areas to facilitate installation of the z-clips. Alternatively the reveal can be covered with an exposed, crown or cornice type moulding.
All lights, diffusers, speakers, smoke detectors, sprinklers, and similar items that penetrate or are located in the ceiling must be independently supported. The panel is not structurally capable of supporting the weight of any of these items.
When using speakers in the ceiling, it is recommended that the speaker grill be visibly mounted at the face of the panel. Speaker function creates air movement and any fabric covering the speaker will experience premature soiling.
