tightened securely and must be checked periodically after
assembly. Failure to assemble properly, or to secure parts
may result in assembly failure and personal injury.
Steel Tile and Steel
Markerboard Tile Installation
Note: End-of-run trim clips
must be installed on end-of-run
panel frames prior to installing
tiles. If end-of-run trim clips are
not installed on the end-of-run
frames, reference "End-of-Run
Trim Clip Installation" instructions
on page 15 or "End-of-Run Trim
Clip Installation on Panel Frame
Change-of-Height Assembly"
instructions on page 16.
Note: Assembly of all standard
steel and steel markerboard tiles
are different than standard fabric
tiles. Instead of brackets and tabs
like Unite fabric tiles, steel tiles
have two pre-assembled magnets
located on the back of the tile.
Steps to assemble steel tiles
remain similar to standard fabric
tiles and require no tools.
1. At the bottom of the panel frame
where a steel tile will rest, install
a “bottom trim channel” to the
“vertical posts”. Position the
bottom trim channel as illustrated.
Hook the top lip into the vertical
posts. Push trim channel down
into the slots to secure (Figure 1).
2. Hold the tile up, then center and
nest the bottom of the tile into the
bottom trim channel. Push the
top of the tile against the frame.
Magnets will hold the tile against
the frame (Figure 2 & Detail C).
3. If a frame has steel segmented
tiles, install a segmented H-shape
trim channel such that the wide
flange of the channel is behind
the tile as illustrated. Install
segmented tiles from the bottom
up (Figures 2 & 3 and Detail D).
Note: Unite tiles do not hang
from the frame. Support of tiles
is provided by the bottom trim
channel. Magnets simply keep the
tile from tipping away from the
frame until the top cap is installed
providing final tile retention.
