Gyptone edge d1 installation manual

Design and technique

Product descriptionGyptone edge D1 is a pre-painted, de-mountable suspended acoustic ceiling, mounted in a concealed grid system (T-24). Gyptone ceilings can be used for many applications, like schools, offices and com-mercial settings. Gyptone edge D1 is fully demountable and gives good opportuni-ties 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 heightMin and max plenum heights with T-grid system can be found on page 5.

SurfacesGyptone 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 systemGyptone edge D1 is installed on a Quick- Lock 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 specifica-tion of the project.

Fire resistanceA2-s1, d0.

LoadThe max point load for each tile, with adeflection of max 2 mm is 1 kg. If higherload is needed the installations needsto be fixed to the slab above with dedi-cated 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.

StabilityGyptone edge D1 is to be installed andused in rooms with relative humidity notpermanently exceeding 70% or tempera-tures exceeding 45 degrees Celsius.

WeightNon perforated Gyptone edge D1 = 9 kg/m²Perforated Gyptone edge D1 = 8 kg/m²

CleaningCan be cleaned with a damp cloth. Do notuse detergents. Always use clean gloves when installing Gyptone edge D1.

MaintenanceIf damages on edges or surfaces occurs,It is recommended to replace thedamaged tile.

Gyptone edge D1 – Installation manual 2

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.

Gyptone edge D1™ systemInstallation of T-grid systemWe recommend reading the manual thoroughly prior to installing the ceiling

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.

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.

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.

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.

NB! Gyptone cross tee must always be used. Cross tees should always be placed next to a hanger.


The height is measured without any Gyptone tiles and with-out attachment to the slap above the ceiling. The distance is from the top of the hanger to the bottom of the grid system.
