      and the walls.

      Mark the dowel mounting holes and
      drill them.

      Mount the dowels as specified by the
      dowel manufacturer and carry out ex-
      traction tests using the device recom-
      mended by the dowel manufacturer, if
      necessary.

6.    Follow the same procedure when
      mounting the perimeter trim, mounting
      interval approx. 400-625 mm, check
      transmission of force into wall.

7.    Shorten the provided fastening ele-
      ments, such as the M6/M8 threaded
      rod to the intended length or order the
      correct length and mount it on the raw
      ceiling.

8.    As a rule, arrangement of the panels
      should be from the centre of the room
      to compensate or halve the tolerances
      of the room/panels. The precise ar-
      rangement must always be done on
      the basis of the ceiling layout plan.

9.    As a rule, durlum metal ceilings are
      provided with cross grids [primary pro-
      file].

10. Use the layout plan to determine in
    which direction the cross-bracing pro-
    files are laid, either in parallel to the
    façade [usually] or vertically to the fa-
    çade. The cross bracing profiles should
    be mounted via a wall bracket or via a
    diagonal anchoring to prevent shifting
    in transverse direction.

      The respective primary profiles are
      mounted at a right angle to the sec-
      ondary profiles. To this end, the sys-
      tem-specific connecting elements are
      used, see system descriptions.
