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 tee DUO1, cross tees DUO2, steel wall angles DUO5, 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: Insert Ceiling Tiles
- Ceiling Tiles: Choose appropriate Ceiling Tiles for your grid.
- Install Panels: Carefully lift and place the tiles 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.
