Standards
CertainTeed Ceilings suspension systems are manufactured in strict accordance with ASTM C635 to meet or exceed, where applicable, performance criteria described in ASCE 7, ASTM E580, ASTM E119, UL263, CAN/UL S101M, ICC-ES AC-156 and ICC-ES AC-368. Metal thicknesses comply with the U.S. Standard Revised Manufacturers Gauge Table (but are subject to mill tolerances).
General Installation Requirements
CertainTeed suspended ceiling systems are designed and
tested for use in both interior and exterior applications (for
certain products). The manufacturer should be consulted for recommendations regarding exterior applications. Installations should be made according to ASTM C636 and any local authority having jurisdiction over such matters. Installation should be done only when the temperature and humidity are within those stated in the product warranty. Special attention should be given to proper ventilation of the plenum, especially in high-moisture areas.
Prior to the start of installation, all exterior windows and doors
are to be in place, the roof is to be watertight and all wet work
is to be completed and dry. No materials should rest against or wrap around the ceiling suspension components or the wires that suspend or brace them.
All direct hung components are to be level and suspended by galvanized steel wire not less than 12 gauge. Tested load performance should not be exceeded.
