SUSPENDED CEILING INSTALLATION
For ceilings with more than 200mm suspension depth, a fully suspended system should be installed.
MASONRY WALL INSTALLATION
Rondo Furring Channels and adjustable clips are the ideal combination for battening out irregular walls,
ready for the fixing of building boards.
1. INSTALL CLIPS
Fix the adjustable BetaGrip
®
Clips to the masonry wall as figure 8 inset using either “knock-in” anchors or plugs
and screws. For timber framed wall use suitable screws. (See note on fixing alternatives for BetaGrip
®
Clips).
2. ATTACH FURRING CHANNEL
The BetaGrip
®
Clip has ‘notches’ to accept the furring channel, these are spaced approx 5mm apart.
Selecting the appropriate notch and using a rolling action clip the 129 or 308 Furring Channel into place.
Check the first Furring Channel for plumb and straightness and using this as a guide install the remaining
Furring Channels. For more minute adjustment of the clips for plumb etc., gently tap the prongs of the clip with
a hammer to adjust.
3. FIX PLASTERBOARD
Screw fix plasterboard, tape and set joints and sand off as lining manufacturers recommendations.
1. Fix Rondo 140 Wall Track (or 142 Wall Track if using the
308) around the perimeter of the ceiling
2. Secure hanger clips at a 1200mm x 1200mm grid pattern
ensuring the first Top Cross Rail is located within
200mm of abutting walls. If using multiple layers of
plasterboard consult the Rondo Professional Design
Manual.
3. Cut 121 Suspension Rod to required length and slide
into hanger clip tabs. Refer Figure 6.
4. Slide 2534 Clip onto the other end of the rod.
5. Secure 127 Top Cross Rail to the 2534 Clips with a
twisting action. Fit 139 Joiner Clips to Furring Channel
and then click into Top Cross Rail* firmly. Ensure 139
Clip engages in both sides: “click-clack”.
6. Secure Furring Channel to Top Cross Rail at a maximum
of 600mm apart or at appropriate spacings for your
lining choice, ensuring 5–10mm clearance is left
between end of Furring Channel and wall.
7. Framing can be leveled by adjusting the 2534 Clip by
squeezing tabs together.
8. See illustrations below for fixing and bracing details.
NOTE:
Distance between hangers supporting TCR = span of TCR
