DUO Grid Ceiling System

Grid Ceiling Installation

Installing a Rondo Duo grid ceiling can be a great way to create an attractive and functional ceiling in your space. Here's a step-by-step guide to help you install it:

Step 1: Preparation and Planning

• Measure the Area: Accurately measure the ceiling area where you plan to install the grid.
• Materials and Tools: Purchase Rondo Duo grid components, including main tees, cross tees, wall angles, and hangers. You'll also need tools like a drill, tape measure, tin snips, and a laser level.
• Safety Equipment: Ensure you have safety gear like gloves, eye protection, and a hard hat.

Step 2: Setting the Perimeter

• Mark the Ceiling Level: Use a laser level to mark the desired height of the ceiling on the walls.
• Install Wall Angles: Secure wall angles along the marked lines on all walls using appropriate fixings.

Step 3: Installing Main Tees

• Locate Main Tee Positions: Determine the positioning of the main tees based on the ceiling layout and panel size.
• Install Suspension Wires: Securely fix suspension wires to the overhead structure at the determined main tee positions.
• Hang Main Tees: Attach the main tees to the suspension wires, ensuring they are level and aligned with the wall angles.

Step 4: Adding Cross Tees

• Insert Cross Tees: Snap the cross tees into place perpendicular to the main tees at the specified intervals.
• Check for Squareness: Regularly check to ensure that the grid is square and level as you add more cross tees.

Step 5: Completing the Grid

• Install Additional Tees: Continue adding main and cross tees as per your design, ensuring everything remains level and properly aligned.
• Cut to Fit: Trim any tees as necessary to fit the perimeter.

Step 6: Installing Ceiling Panels

• Select Panels: Choose appropriate ceiling panels for your grid.
• Install Panels: Carefully lift and place the panels into the grid, starting from one corner and working across.

Step 7: Finishing Touches

• Inspect and Adjust: Inspect the installation, making any necessary adjustments to ensure all panels sit flush and securely.
• Clean Up: Remove any debris, dust, or excess material from the new ceiling.

Additional Tips:

• Stay Organized: Keep your workspace tidy and tools organized for efficiency.
• Follow Manufacturer’s Instructions: Always refer to Rondo’s specific installation guidelines.
• Seek Help if Needed: If you’re unsure about any step, don’t hesitate to seek help from a professional.

Remember, safety should always be your top priority. Wear protective gear and follow safety guidelines throughout the installation process. With careful planning and attention to detail, your Rondo Duo grid ceiling installation will enhance the aesthetic and functionality of your space.
