Segmented Panel Frames with
Stacking Sections (steel frame)
- Tile Assembly
Note: Three-sided
steel-construction stacking
sections (steel frame) utilize
exterior-mounted tiles of either
fabric, markerboard or slat wall
option (Detail K, page 55).
1. Stacking trim rails must fit
between the top of the lower panel
tile and the stacking section tile
bottom. Install two trim rails; one
on each side of the panel. Ensure
the large flange is oriented toward
the center of the panel
(Figure 12).

2. If the stacking section tile is
fabric, hold the tile up, then center
and nest the bottom of the tile
into the bottom of the stacking
trim rail. Push the top of the tile
against the frame and lift such that
the tabs of the stiffeners enter the
P-slots. Push in and gently allow
tile to nest down into the bottom
trim channel (Figure 12).
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.
3. If the stacking section tile is
markerboard or slat wall, hold the
tile up, then center and nest the
bottom of the tile into the bottom
of the stacking trim rail. Push the
top of the tile against the frame.
Magnets will hold the tile against
the frame (Figure 12).
Note: Unite stacking section tiles
do not hang from the stiffener
tabs or frame. Support of the
tiles is provided by the stacking
trim rails. The tabs on fabric tiles
simply keep the tile from tipping
away from the frame. Magnets
simply keep the tile from tipping
away from the frame until the top
cap is installed providing final tile
retention.
4. Ensure each tile is installed
securely and even onto the lower
panels. Alignment along the
top of adjacent stacking section
tiles must be even for trim to fit
properly (Figure 12).
5. Hang the full-height vertical
corner trim onto the three
connector blocks at the
intersection (Figure 12).
Rare Earth Magnets used with this product. The magnets can
be harmful to pacemaker wearers and others with medical
devices. Pacemaker wearers should stay at least one
foot away from the steel tiles.
