PART 3 - EXECUTION
3.1 EXAMINATION
A. Examine substrates, areas, and conditions, including structural framing and substrates to which
acoustical tile ceilings attach or abut, with Installer present, for compliance with requirements
specified in this and other Sections that affect ceiling installation and anchorage and for
compliance with requirements for installation tolerances and other conditions affecting
performance of the Work.
B. Examine acoustical tiles before installation. Reject acoustical tiles that are wet, moisture
damaged, or mold damaged.
C. Proceed with installation only after unsatisfactory conditions have been corrected.
3.2 PREPARATION
A. Measure each ceiling area and establish layout of acoustical tiles to balance border widths at
opposite edges of each ceiling. Avoid using less-than-half-width tiles at borders unless
otherwise indicated, and comply with layout shown on reflected ceiling plans.
B. Layout openings for penetrations centered on the penetrating items.
3.3 INSTALLATION OF SUSPENDED ACOUSTICAL TILE CEILINGS
A. Install suspended acoustical tile ceilings according to ASTM C 636 and manufacturer's written
instructions.
1. Fire-Rated Assembly: Install fire-rated ceiling systems according to tested fire-rated
design.
B. Suspend ceiling hangers from building's structural members and as follows:
1. Install hangers plumb and free from contact with insulation or other objects within ceiling
plenum that are not part of supporting structure or of ceiling suspension system.
2. Splay hangers only where required to miss obstructions; offset resulting horizontal forces
by bracing, counter splaying, or other equally effective means.
3. Where width of ducts and other construction within ceiling plenum produces hanger
spacings that interfere with location of hangers at spacings required to support standard
suspension-system members, install supplemental suspension members and hangers in
form of trapezes or equivalent devices.
4. Secure wire hangers to ceiling suspension members and to supports above with a
minimum of three tight turns. Connect hangers directly to structure or to inserts, eye
screws, or other devices that are secure and appropriate for substrate and that will not
deteriorate or otherwise fail due to age, corrosion, or elevated temperatures.
5. Do not support ceilings directly from permanent metal forms or floor deck.
6. When steel framing does not permit installation of hanger wires at spacing required,
install carrying channels or other supplemental support for attachment of hanger wires.
7. Do not attach hangers to steel deck tabs.
8. Do not attach hangers to steel roof deck. Attach hangers to structural members.

9. Space hangers not more than 48 inches o.c. along each member supported directly from
hangers unless otherwise indicated; provide hangers not more than 8 inches from ends
of each member.
10. Size supplemental suspension members and hangers to support ceiling loads within
performance limits established by referenced standards.
C. Secure bracing wires to ceiling suspension members and to supports with a minimum of four
tight turns. Suspend bracing from building's structural members as required for hangers without
attaching to permanent metal forms, steel deck, or steel deck tabs. Fasten bracing wires into
concrete with cast-in-place or post-installed anchors.
D. Install edge moldings and trim of type indicated at perimeter of acoustical ceiling area and
where necessary to conceal edges of acoustical tiles.
1. Apply acoustical sealant in a continuous ribbon concealed on back of vertical legs of
moldings before they are installed.
2. Screw attach moldings to substrate at intervals not more than 16 inches o.c. and not
more than 3 inches from ends. Miter corners accurately and connect securely.
3. Do not use exposed fasteners, including pop rivets, on moldings and trim.
E. Install suspension-system runners so they are square and securely interlocked with one
another. Remove and replace dented, bent, or kinked members.
F. Arrange directionally patterned acoustical tiles as follows:
1. As indicated on reflected ceiling plans.
G. Install acoustical tiles in coordination with suspension system and exposed moldings and trim.
Place splines or suspension-system flanges into kerfed edges of tiles so tile-to-tile joints are
interlocked.
1. Fit adjoining tiles to form flush, tight joints. Scribe and cut tiles for accurate fit at borders
and around penetrations through ceiling.
2. Hold tile field in compression by inserting leaf-type, spring-steel spacers between tiles
and moldings, spaced 12 inches o.c.
3. Protect lighting fixtures and air ducts according to requirements indicated for fire-
resistance-rated assembly.
3.4 ERECTION TOLERANCES
A. Suspended Ceilings: Install main and cross runners level to a tolerance of 1/8 inch in 12 feet,
non-cumulative.
B. Moldings and Trim: Install moldings and trim to substrate and level with ceiling suspension
system to a tolerance of 1/8 inch in 12 feet, non-cumulative.
3.5 FIELD QUALITY CONTROL
A. Special Inspections: Engage a qualified special inspector to perform the following special
inspections:
1. Periodic inspection during the installation of suspended ceiling grids according to
ASCE/SEI 7.

B. Testing Agency: Engage a qualified testing agency to perform tests and inspections.
C. Acoustical tile ceiling hangers, anchors, and fasteners will be considered defective if they do not
pass tests and inspections.
D. Prepare test and inspection reports.
3.6 ADJUSTING
A. Clean exposed surfaces of acoustical tile ceilings, including trim and edge moldings. Comply
with manufacturer's written instructions for cleaning and touchup of minor finish damage.
B. Remove and replace tiles and other ceiling components that cannot be successfully cleaned
and repaired to permanently eliminate evidence of damage.
