installation.
B. Do not store in unconditioned spaces with humidity greater than 55 percent or lower than 25 percent relative
humidity and temperatures lower than 50 degrees F or greater than 86 degrees F. Panels must not be
exposed to extreme temperatures, for example, close to a heating source or near a window with direct
sunlight.
C. Handle ceiling units carefully to avoid chipped edges or damage to units in any way.
1.7 PROJECT CONDITIONS
A. Wood veneer ceiling materials should be permitted to reach room temperature and have a stabilized
moisture content for a minimum of 72 hours before installation.
B. The wood veneer panels should not be installed in spaces where the temperature or humidity conditions
vary greatly from the temperatures and conditions that will be normal in the occupied space. C. As interior finish products, the wood veneer panels are designed for installation in temperature conditions
between 50 degrees F and 86 degrees F, in spaces where the building is enclosed and HVAC systems are
functioning and will be in continuous operation. Relative humidity should not fall below 25 percent or exceed
55 percent.

PART 3 - EXECUTION
3.1 EXAMINATION
A. Do not proceed with installation until all wet work such as concrete, terrazzo, plastering and painting has
been completed and thoroughly dried out.
B. Proper designs for both supply air and return air, maintenance of the HVAC filters and building interior space
are essential to minimize soiling. Before starting the HVAC system, make sure supply air is properly filtered
and the building interior is free of construction dust.
3.2 PREPARATION
A. Measure each ceiling area and establish layout of acoustical units to balance border widths at opposite
edges of each ceiling. Avoid use of less than half width units at borders, and comply with reflected ceiling
plans. Coordinate panel layout with mechanical and electrical fixtures.
3.3 INSTALLATION
A. Install suspension system and panels in compliance with ASTM C636; CISCA Seismic Guidelines; approved
construction drawings; with the authorities having jurisdiction; and in accordance with the manufacturer's
installation instructions, WoodWorks Channeled Ceilings Installation Instructions, LA-297532.
B. Suspend linear carriers from overhead construction with hanger wires spaced 4 feet on center along the
length of the linear carrier. Install hanger wires plumb and straight. Install linear carriers 24 inches on center
(or less).
C. Install wall moldings at intersection of suspended ceiling and vertical surfaces.
D. Follow the instructions found in "WoodWorks Channeled Installation Instructions", LA-297532, for border
treatment of the WoodWorks Channeled planks.
3.4 ADJUSTING AND CLEANING
A. Replace damaged and broken panels.
B. Clean exposed surfaces of ceilings panels, including trim, edge moldings, and suspension members.
Comply with manufacturer's instructions for cleaning and touch up of minor finish damage. Remove and
replace work that cannot be successfully cleaned and repaired to permanently eliminate evidence of
damage.
