I nstfiall•i t , CITY OF LA QUINTA BUILDING & SAFETY DEPT. #A iD- Rol DATE BY (#�,Y,stro„go • Installing Armstrong Suspended Ceilings An Armstrong suspended mineral fiber ceiling is functional, attractive and provides easy access to the plenum. This ceiling system installation brochure is intended as a general application overview, covering essential steps of a basic suspended ceiling installation. A The ceiling system is made up of Armstrong panels (either 2' x 4' or 2' x 2') which are supported by a suspension system (main beams, cross tees and hangers), and perimeter molding. The integrity of the entire suspended ceiling depends on the hangers — commonly wires — Armstrong Ceiling System which are used to support the suspension system main beams. Sections of main beams are spliced together and are connected by cross tees. The ends of the main beams and cross tees rest on the wall molding which runs around the perimeter of the space. Before You Start Although temperature and humidity recommendations vary by product, the space must be cleared of debris and, in general, should be enclosed. • The ceiling panels should be kept clean, dry, and protected from the elements. Panels should be removed from cartons 24 hours before installation to allow them to adjust to interior conditions. • The tools you will need will vary depending on the type of hangers used, but generally, you will need: ladders or scaffolding; a tape measure; pencil; chalk line; hammer; powder - actuated fastener; awl; pop -rivet gun; screw driver or drill; sheet metal punch; aviation snips; wire cutting pliers; utility knife; level (water level or laser); string; key hole saw; and compass or dividers. Most jobsites also require some safety equipment like a hard hat 2 or safety glasses. Determine Panel Direction • Ceiling panels can run in the direction that yields the most pleasing finished appearance. • In spaces with bar or wood joists, main beams must be oriented perpendicular to the joists. (You must locate and mark all joists if they have been covered with a drywall ceiling.) Determine Border Panel Sizes (2' X 2' panels) • To determine the border panel sizes, divide one dimension of the space by 2' • Our example shows a space that is 10' 8" by 14' 2" and the deck joists run in the 10' 8" direction. 10' 8" - 2' = five full panels +, remaining 8". • You can't start with a full panel against one wall and leave one 8" border on the other semi side; it will look unbalanced (and two border panels of 4" would be too small). So, add 24" to the 8" dimension, which equals 32" Divide that number by 2 to equal 16". - ! The room would be divided into four full panels, plus two 16" border panels. • In the other direction: 14' 2" - 2' = seven panels + remaining 2" • Add 24" to the 2" dimension, which equals 26". Divide that number by 2 to equal 13" • This side of the room would have six full panels and two 13" border panels. Main beams must be oriented perpendicular to bar or wood joists Determine width of border panels (2' x 2' panels) DEDEFIFUn 26-- _ 2, Sixl anels plus two Jill =1 I Four full panels plus two 16" border panels Determine width of border panels (2' x 2' panels) DEDEFIFUn 26-- _ 2, Sixl anels plus two 13'pdor0 erppanels Determine width of border panels (2' x 2' panels) 3 0000_ Al 1 37" Two full panels plusl t' o,37" border`. nets ?termine width of bord panels (2' x 4' panels) Mark desired height for new ceiling - . Determine Border Panel Sizes (2' X 4' panels) • For 2'x 4' panels, divide one room dimension by 2' as stated above. • Divide the other room dimension by 4' and add 48" to remaining dimensions to avoid unsightly small border panels. Install Perimeter Trim • Allow at least three inches below the old ceiling, ducts, pipes or wiring as clearance to maneuver a lay -in panel into the opening of the grid. • Mark the desired height for the new ceiling, adding the height of the wall molding. Mark a level line around all three walls and snap a connecting chalk line on the fourth wall. • Attach the molding securely. Screws or 6d (1-1/2") nails work well for wood; use screws for metal; use powder -actuated fasteners or expanding anchors for concrete and stone walls. Joints between inside and outside corners of molding must be tight. Install Hangers and Fasteners Hangers need to be installed above the main beams typically every four feet. • Snap a chalk line for each of the main beams. Attach hangers and wires to the deck above the first row of main beams at four -foot intervals. • Stretch a guide string from one end of the room to the other, below the molding where the first main beam will hang. • Stretch a leveling string from one side to the other 7/8" above the bottom of the wall molding. • Bend the wires at the height of the string so that the main beam is held at the correct height. • Wrap hanger wire securely around itself three times. Install the First Main Beam • Install the first section of main beam. (Cut the end so that a cross tee route hole is located the border distance in from the end wall.) • Insert a hanger wire into a hanger wire hole near the other end of the main beam. Bend the wire up and wrap it around itself three times. Continue to insert all other hanger wires. Bend hanger wires at height of guide string Install first main beam 5 Install border cross tees Join sections of main beam Square the grid by measuring across the diagonal of the grid opening 1.1 Install Border Cross Tees • Find the location of the first border cross tee. • Place the end of the white face of the cross tee against the edge of the wall molding at the side, and cut the cross tee where it crosses the guide string. • Insert the uncut end of the cross tee into the main beam, and rest the cut end of the cross tee on the molding. (The far edge of the main beam should be directly above the string.) • Repeat the process for the next cross tee. • Temporarily fasten the cross tees to the wall molding so they do not move. Square the Grid • Join additional sections of main beam as required to reach the other end wall. Attach hangers and check level as the installation proceeds. • Use leftover piece of main beam from the first row to start the next row. • Install two four -foot cross tees between the two main beams, in line with the first two border cross tees. • Measure across the diagonals of the 2' x 4' opening. The measurements will be the same if the grid is square. If the grid is not square, shorten one of the main beams until the diagonals are equal. Install Remaining Main Beams and Cross Tees • Complete the installation of rows of main beams. • Note: If you have additional rows of main beams to install, stretch a second string from one side of the room to the other, aligning it with the first four -foot cross tee as shown. • This second string will be your guide for cutting the remaining rows of main beams. Just measure from the end wall to the string to determine the distance for the first cross tee slot you will use. • You must line up all cross tee slots for the grid to be square. Install Panels • Slightly tilt panels, lift above framework, and gently rest on cross tee and main beam edges. • Measure and cut border panels individually. Using a leftover cross tee or main beam section as a straight edge, cut panels face up with a very sharp utility knife. Border panels may require field cutting of Tegular edge details. All field cut edges "exposed to view" should be colored to match the factory finish. Armstrong SuperCoat- Ceiling Panel Touch-up Paint is recommended. Lighting and Other Fixtures Lighting and other fixtures must be supported by the grid, not by the ceiling panels. Depending on the size and weight of the fixtures, extra hangers may be required. For more information and details about installing Armstrong Suspended Ceilings, call your local Armstrong representative or visit armstrong.com/ceilings. Align second guide string with first four -foot cross tee Tilt panels above frame and drop into place Tegular-edge border panels may require field cutting.

Flame spread and fire -resistance ratings are two separate issues, and they must be addressed independently in selection and specification. Use Only Fire Guard" Products for E411Fire-Rated Assemblies Armstrong ceiling panels and suspension systems listed in fire -rated assemblies are designated as Fire Guard products and are identified with the Fire Guard icon throughout this catalog. Fire Guard Ceilings are specially formulated to provide enhanced resistance against structural failure. Fire Guard Suspension Systems have patented expansion reliefs, to help maintain structural integrity of the ceiling. Main Runner expansion relief Selecting the Right UL Fire -Rated Assembly 1. Establish the hourly rating needed to meet code requirements. 2. Determine the existing or planned building elements, including structural, mechanical, electrical and finish materials, in the fire -rated assembly. 3. Refer to the Fire Resistance Rating Summary (pgs. 245-246) to determine the UL design numbers and ceiling system products that correspond to the fire -rated assemblies that meet your needs. 4. Refer to the Fire Resistance Selector information on the Ceilings Selector chart on page 234 for a list of Fire Guard fire -resistive ceilings. 5. To meet your design criteria for final selection, review performance data for specific Fire Guard ceilings -pages 235-236, or on our web site at armstrong.com. Two types of fire -rated construction assemblies pertain to acoustical ceiling systems: Roof/Ceiling Assemblies Ceiling system, lighting, HVAC outlets and other penetrants through the ceiling, the plenum, roof support structure and roof assembly including deck, insulation and roofing system. Floor/Ceiling Assemblies Ceiling system, lighting, HVAC outlets and other penetrants through the ceiling, the plenum, structural system, subfloor and finish floor. Armstrong Resources Available to You: • TechLine at 1 877 ARMSTRONG (276-7876) • Armstrong Web Site: Product Selector Tool= =�,• • Summary listing, UL Fire -Rated Ceiling Assemblies - pages 242-244 .armstrong.com/ceilings Pgs. 242-244 Fire -Resistance Rating of a Ceiling Assembly (ANSI/UL 263 - ASTM E 119 and NFPA 251) (CAN/ULC - S101M) The degree to which (measured in hours) the entire assembly, not individual components, withstands fire and high temperatures. Specifically, it is an assembly's ability to prevent the spread of fire between spaces while retaining structural integrity. The resulting fire -resistance rating relates to the assembly in its entirety and is published or classified in the UL Fire Resistance Directory. Flame Spread Rating of a Ceiling Material (ASTM E 84) (CAN/ULC - S102M) The relative rate at which a flame will spread over the surface of the material. This rate is compared against a rating of 0 for inorganic reinforced cement board and a rating of 100 for red oak. Class A ceilings have flame spread ratings of 25 or less - the required standard for most commercial applications. Armstrong Fire Resistant Ceiling Panels and tile meet both Class A surface burning characteristics per ASTM E 1264 as well as fire -resistive construction requirements as classified in the UL Fire Resistance Directory. Continuous Versus Open Plenum Ceilings A continuous ceiling may allow sprinklers and smoke detectors to activate faster, providing added escape time for occupant evacuation. In buildings where a ceiling is not in place, the height of the space is normally greater and could delay the operation of the fire sprinkler or smoke detector systems.

The only ICC -ES Compliant approach to seismic installation Armstrong is the only manufacturer to have an ICC -ES evaluated approach to installations (ESR -1308). The Armstrong Seismic RX Suspension System • Allows architects and designers to eliminate unsightly 2" wall angle in Category D, E, F seismic -compliant installations • For contractors, it provides a labor and cost-saving method of meeting seismic code without the risk of delaying the construction schedule Seismic RX allows for a more aesthetically -pleasing visual in a seismic -compliant installation ICC Approved Heavy Duty Suspension Systems ESR -1308 PRELUDE" XL 15/16" Exposed Tee System SUPRAFINE" XL 9/16" Exposed Tee System SILHOUETTE° XL 9/16" Bolt Slot System 2" wall angles are prone to the following problems: • Difficult to keep "tight' to wall • Difficult to install corners • Prone to twisting and warping ESR -1308 lists specific Armstrong components and method of installation The performance of the Armstrong Seismic Rx Suspension System is based on the specific combination of components and method of installation. Other manufacturer's components and installation methods were not tested and are not covered in this evaluation. Substitution of other components puts the system at risk and is not allowed by this ESR report Purpose of Installation Requirements for Suspended Ceilings • Provide a suspension system strong enough to resist lateral forces imposed upon it without failing • Prevent border panels from falling from the ceiling plane Flat, level ceiling with standard t -bar Serpentina - "non-standard" ceiling system IBC Requirements for Standard T bar Grid IBC requirements are based on flat, level suspended ceiling systems — main beams and cross tees suspended from the building structure by wires and wall molding around the perimeter. • The IBC code is based on t -bar grid only • Many manufacturers market non-standard ceiling systems not covered by the code • You must be able to prove ceiling systems specified perform at a level consistent with the intent of the code Non -Standard Ceiling Designs Code officials may reject specified products such as non- standard ceiling systems during plan review, challenging your design and delaying the construction schedule. However, the code "is not intended to prevent"' certain ceiling systems, and does allow "alternative materials, designs and methods" to be used. To substantiate claims for alternative materials and designs, code officials "have the authority to require tests as evidence of compliance."z If these tests demonstrate the desired performance, the code official may accept the non-standard design. 1 Section 104.11 Alternative materials, design and methods of construction and equipment. 2 Section 104.11.2 Tests. 0 O C.

Ceiling installation should conform to basic minimums established in ASTM C 636. C To be installed to CISCA recommendations for areas subject to light to moderate seismic activity. • Minimum 7/8: wall molding • Grid must not be attached to the wall molding • 3/8" clearance on all sides • 3/8" overlap of the grid on the wall molding • • Ends of main beams and cross tees must be tied together to prevent their spreading No perimeter wires NOTE: Requirements for essential use facilities may be " different. Contact Techl-ine for details. D, E, F. Installation must conform to CISCA recommendations for areas subject to severe seismic activity. IBC categories D, E and F must also meet these additional requirements: • Minimum 2" wall molding • Grid must be attached to two adjacent walls — opposite walls must have a 3/4" clearance ` • Ends of main beams and cross tees must be tied together to prevent,their spreading • Perimeter support wires - Y Heavy-duty grid system • Ceiling areas over 1,000 SF must have " horizontal restraint wire or rigid bracing • Ceiling areas over 2,500 SF must have seismic separation joints or full height partitions • Ceilings without rigid bracing must have 2" oversized trim rings for sprinklers and other penetrations , • Changes in ceiling plane must have positive bracing, Cable trays and electrical conduits must - be independently supported and braced • Suspended ceilings will be subject to special inspection. Alternate Installation Requirements per ICC Report ESR -1308 Ceiling installation should conform to basic minimums established in ASTM C 636. • Minimum 7/8" wall molding • Grid may be attached on two adjoining walls • 3/8" clearance on two unattached walls • BERC2 on all runners • No spreader bars • Minimum 7/8" wall molding • Grid must be attached on two adjacent walls — opposite walls require BERC2 • BERC2 maintains main beam and cross tee spacing; no other accessories required • Perimeter support wires • Refer to report for specific Armstrong heavy-duty grid systems approved (or see page 3) • Ceiling areas over 1,000 SF must have horizontal restraint wire or rigid bracing • Ceiling areas over 2,500 SF must have seismic separation joints or full height partitions • Ceilings without rigid bracing must have 2" oversized trim rings for sprinklers and other penetrations • Changes in ceiling plane must have positive bracing • Cable trays and electrical conduits must be independently supported and braced NOTE: Consult your local code professional for information specific to your region. 239 TechLinesm - 1 877 ARMSTRONG armstrong.com/performance Seismic. Performance - Putting Ceilings to the Test categories D, E, and F D E,F Putting Ceilings to the Test While the IBC code addresses standard t -bar grid, ceiling panels have not been .tested for seismic performance in more than 15 years. Ceiling panel performance is not well defined in the code and it assumes all ceiling panels have four-sided support. Concerned about safety and .performance of all current and future products under the new code, Armstrong has partnered with the State University of NY at Buffalo to test both standard and non-standard ceiling systems for seismic performance. The results of more than 120 full-scale seismic tests offer: • Proven safety and performance • Flexible design options • More efficient installation designs Armstrong seismic test details were instrumental to ICC approval of the Seismic Rx Suspension System as an alternative to 2" wall molding. Demonstrated Performance The following ceiling and grid systems were tested to withstand seismic forces in all IBC categories.

There are two basic types of attachment accessories that can be used with the Alucobond® panels: the "continuous edge grip" or the "rout-and-retum" methods of attachment as described in Sections 4.3.1 and 4.3.2. 4.2 Design: The maximum allowable design transverse wind load pressure for the Alucobond® panels, both 4 millimeters and 6 millimeters, installed using the rout-and-retum method with clips in accordance with this report, is 25 psf , (1.2 kPa), positive or negative. The maximum allowable design wind load pressure for the Alucobond® panels, 4 millimeters and 6 millimeters, installed using the rout - and -return method with aluminum extrusion frames or installed with the continuous edge grip method in accordance with this report, is 20 psf (0.96 kPa), positive or negative. Support framing, such as wall studs, must be designed in accordance with the applicable code to be adequate for these loadings. 4.3 Installation: The MCM system must be fabricated in a shop by an MCM systems fabricator. Such fabrication involves cutting and forming the panels as well as installing panel stiffeners and other attachment accessories as needed to attach the panels to the exterior of the building in the field. The two basic types of attachment are the rout-and-retum and the continuous edge grip (CEG) method of support described in Sections 4.3.1 and 4.3.2. 4.3.1 Alucobond® Rout -and -Return: The rout -and - return assembly consists of Flat panels formed into shallow "pans" by means of routing a groove in the back face of the panel, along each panel edge, and mechanically folding all four edges. Panel stiffeners must be installed at 24 inches (610 mm) on center on the backside of the panels with silicone sealant. The minimum folded edge width shall be of sufficient depth so that the fasteners will not be closer to the edge of the panel than 2.5 times the fastener diameter. The panels are attached to the building frame in one of two methods. In one method of attachment, the panels shall be attached to the building frame with aluminum clip angles that are attached to the folded edges of the panel by the MCM systems fabricator by two pop rivets for each clip angle. The clip angles must be fastened to the building frame with a mechanical fastener such as a No. 12, self -drilling, corrosion -resistant metal screw. Other fasteners are permitted for use when the performance is demonstrated to be equivalent by engineering calculations. See Figure 1 of this report for an example of this installation. The pop rivets are 3/16 -inch -diameter (4.8 mm), 5052 Alloy aluminum rivets with 7178 Alloy mandrels. Clip angles must be fabricated from 6063 Alloy - T5 Temper aluminum of the size noted in Figure 1 of this report. The clip angles must be attached to each panel edge at 4 inches (102 mm) from each comer and 24 inches (610 mm) on center. The maximum panel size is 60 inches wide by 144 inches long (1524 mm by 3658 mm). In the other method of attachment, a 0.06 -inch -thick aluminum extrusion of 6063 Alloy -T6 Temper must be cut to size, mitered and attached by the MCM systems fabricator using structural silicone sealant between the panel back and folded edge and the extrusion. The extrusion must be hooked into an aluminum clip that is attached to the building frame with two No. 12, self -drilling, corrosion -resistant screws along the length of the extrusion. See Figure 2 of this report for an example of this installation. 4.3.2 Continuous Edge Grip Method: A 0.06 -inch -wide - by -0.30 -inch -deep (1.5 mm by 8 mm) groove must be routed into the edge of the core material by the MCM systems fabricator. An extruded aluminum frame must be cut to size, mitered and attached with structural silicone sealant between the panel back and the extrusion. Panel stiffeners must be installed at 24 inches (610 mm) on center on the backside of the panels with silicone sealant. Panels must be attached to structural framing in the field using No. 12-24, self -drilling fasteners along the perimeter. Minimum screw penetration beyond the structural support shall be twice the shank diameter. See Figure 3 of this report for an example of this installation. 4.3.3 Buildings of Type I, II, III or IV Construction: Where exterior walls are required to be noncombustible construction, installation is limited to the following heights: • A maximum of 40 feet in height above the grade plane, under the limitations specified in Section 1407.11.1 of the IBC. • A maximum of 50 feet in height above the grade plane, under the limitations specified in Section 1407.11.2 of the IBC. Where interior walls are required to be noncombustible construction, the Alucobond® panels which have a Class A interior finish classification must be installed in accordance with Section 803.4 of the IBC. 4.4 Interior Wall Covering: Alucobond® panels may be used as an interior wall finish in compliance with IBC Chapter 8.

Finishing It is important to be careful with asphalt when applying the GlasKap CR sheets on the roof. However, if a small amount of asphalt bleeds out at the side or end laps, the roof will still meet California Title 24 requirements. Bleed out of less than 1" (25 mm) is acceptable, but 3/s" (10 mm) is recommended. r Some applicators or building owners may want to dress up the roof by coating the asphalt to give the roof surface a uniform white appearance. This is an optional step. JM recommends using a heavy nap roller, in a 4" (102 mm) width, to coat the exposed asphalt with a JM -recommended white acrylic coating. Asphalt . Asphalt should meet the requirements of ASTM D 312. JM guarantees require the use of Trumbull®* asphalt or another JM -approved asphalt.

The code also sets forth limitations and conditions of use. It is important to know that while the building code establishes the requirements, the code official has the power to enforce its provisions. The code official also has the latitude to allow materials and methods of construction that are not addressed in the code. A code official can perform their own analysis of evidence presented or can rely on independent, qualified sources such as ICC -ES to do the analysis and provide their findings. PURPOSE OF INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS FOR SUSPENDED CEILINGS ■ Provide a suspension system strong enough to resist lateral forces imposed upon it without failing ■ Prevent border panels from falling from the ceiling plane FEDERAL EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT AGENCY (FEMA) Seismic performance during recent large California earthquakes prompted FEMA to address several concerns including suspended ceiling performance during a seismic event. Research and tests demonstrated that current industry seismic standards (UBC Standard 25-2) were not adequate. To support individual panels around the perimeter, FEMA determined that the key to good seismic performance is a wider wall molding on all sides. This led to the International Building Code requirement for 2" wall molding on all sides.

HOW SEISMIC DESJGN CATEGORIES ARE DETERMINED The seismiadesign &tegory must be specified by a professional engineer or registered architect on the project drawings per CISCA b-2, 3-4. The project requirements which include the seismic design category can be found in Section 1 of the specification and on the first page of the structural drawings. International Building Code (IBC) allows two paths to determine Seismic Design category - IBC Section 1613 or ASCE 7 Section 11.6. The IBC states that a Seismic Design Category must be established for each construction project based on: ■ Anticipated ground motion ■ Soil type in a specified geographic area ■ Occupancy category These factors are used to evaluate and establish a Seismic Design Category of A, B, C, D, E or F. The installation of ceilings can be divided into three tiers of increasing requirements: ■ Categories A & B are installed to meet requirements established in ASTM C636 ■ Category C projects must meet those plus additional provisions listed in the CISCA recommendations for areas subject to moderate risk ■ Categories D, E & F must follow ASTM C636, CISCA guidelines for areas subject to severe earthquake risk and eight additional provisions contained in ASCE 7 Section 13.5.6.2.2 Note: Seismic categories are determined for the entire building. This is why the Seismic Design Category information is on the structural drawings.

ALTERNATIVE MATERIALS AND CONSTRUCTION METHODS Armstrong has tested many items that have not been submitted to the ESR process. We can provide white papers and test reports to document seismic performance; however, many of these products do not have clear code requirements: "13.2.5 Testing Alternative for Seismic Capacity Determination. As an alternative to the analytical requirements of Sections 13.2 through 13.6, testing shall be deemed as an acceptable method to determine the seismic capacity of components and their supports and attachments. Seismic qualification by testing based upon a nationally recognized testing standard procedure, such as ICC -ES AC 156, acceptable to the authority having jurisdiction shall be deemed to satisfy the design and evaluation requirements provided that the substantiated seismic capacities equal or exceed the seismic demands determined in accordance with Sections 13.3.1 and 13.3.2. 13.2.6 Experience Data Alternative for Seismic Capacity Determination.

In light of this, Armstrong has conducted rigorous testing at the State University of New York, University at Buffalo to demonstrate seismic performance. Test result summaries can be provided to code officials in the form of white papers. For example: In 2004 Armstrong lead the industry with seismic testing documentation summaries and test protocols for our Seismic Rx® Solution. This information set the industry standard and drove the issuance of ESR -1308 in 2006. PRODUCTS NOT COVERED BY AN ESR REPORT Providing a valid ESR report to a code official does represent the "gold standard" for installations. The ESR represents the safest, least risky method for selecting a seismic ceiling solution. Armstrong has tested a number of products that do not appear in an ESR report because these products do not have clear code requirements. We will provide performance criteria via white paper or test report based on large-scale seismic shake table test results from an ICC -ES and IAS accredited test facility (State University of New York, University at Buffalo).

ICC -ES EVALUATION SERVICE ICC -ES does technical evaluations of building products, components, methods, and materials. The evaluation process culminates with the issuance of technical reports that directly address the issue of code compliance. These reports are extremely useful because regulatory agencies use evaluation reports to help determine code compliance and enforce building regulations; and manufacturers use reports as evidence that their products (and this is especially important if the products are new and innovative) meet code requirements and warrant regulatory approval. ICC -ES employs a large staff of professionally licensed architects and civil, structural, mechanical and fire protection engineers. The members of the ICC -ES technical staff are experts in the application of model codes, and also have access to historical information relating to product evaluation. When developing acceptance criteria ICC -ES routinely seeks input from building industry experts through a process of open public hearings. These hearings are conducted by an independent committee composed of code officials who actually enforce building regulations. r Seismic Rx Approaches to Category D, E and F Installations ............................................................................................................................................................................................

Preventing Border Panels from Falling — Installation Tip ............................................................................................................................................................................. THE CASE FOR PERIMETER WIRES In full-scale seismic test evaluations for areas subject to severe seismic motion, the common cause of system failure came from damage to cross tee end connectors (Armstrong and competitive systems). Damage occurred in one of two ways: ■ Connector clip bends ■ Base metal bends When this damage occurs, it allows unbraced sections of ceiling to move up to 3/8" at each connection. The cumulative effect of damage at the cross tee connections may move the ceiling more than 2". Without perimeter support wires, test results demonstrate that the load of the ceiling may cause the main beams and cross tees to move beyond the 2" wall molding and drop out. System failure at the perimeter does not conform to the requirements of the code. Damage at cross tee connections allows ceiling movement Unsupported cross tees allow panels to drop out. 11 Potential Movement A B C D E 3/4° + 3/8" + 3/8" + 3/8" + 3/8" = 2-1/4" Seismic Separation Joints ........................ ............................................ :............................................. ....................................................................... PURPOSE OF SEPARATION JOINTS ASCE.7 Section 13.5.6.2.2 mandates that ceiling areas greater than 2,500 SF must have seismic separation joints, closure angles and horizontal restraints. This means 2" molding, perimeter spacer bars — and if the area is greater than 1,000 SF lateral force bracing. It is thought that these measures will prevent the accumulated forces from overpowering an individual suspension system connection. This method of failure was observed after some strong California quakes in the 1980s. The code does not describe how to construct the separation joint. Initially, we responded to inquiries by providing an expansion joint detail fabricated from steel moldings. This type of joint is widely accepted because it is familiar to inspectors and because the width of the separation can be set to match whatever the project designer requires. However, many designers find this method objectionable: ■ Traditional field -fabricated expansion joint details are very noticeable on the ceiling plane ■ The system is not very rigid and the grid system can move "off module" ARMSTRONG DELIVERS TESTED SOLUTION Armstrong has done full-scale testing which confirms that a ceiling fitted with our Seismic Joint Clip for Main Beams (SJMR) and Seismic Joint Clip for Cross Tees (SJCG & SCJSI) performs as well as a field fabricated separation joint. Additional benefits to these seismic -tested separation joints are: SEISMIC JOINT CLIP - MAIN BEAM (SJMR) ■ Gives architects and designers a clean look (not visible from the floor) ■ Saves contractors time with a reliable installation method ■ Easily installs in minutes at main beam splice ■ Maintains integrity of ceiling module, unlike field assembled alternatives ■ Allows for full acoustical panel at the joint ■ Easier to keep the ceiling system square i, SEISMIC JOINT CLIP - CROSS TEE (SJCG & SJCSI) ■ Gives architects and designers a clean look (not visible from the floor) ■ Saves contractors time with a reliable installation method ■ Installs in minutes, no need to cut the face of the grid to install clip ■ Eliminates the need for additional hanger wires ■ Maintains integrity of the ceiling module, unlike field assembled alternatives ■ Allows the use of full size panels ■ Works with our PeakForm® grid (Suprafine®, Prelude®) and square bulb grid (Silhouette® and Interlude®) -,Separation Joint Layout Details ......................................................................................................................... -4 Main 2 Main Beam B� _ • L _I_ Main 2 Main Beam I i SJC Beam i 'S1MR � _S1MR � SJC...-�� i SIMR�^�` — _ —SIMR= 4' GossTee { I SJC SJC ........... ...................................... 4' Main 2• Main Main Beam Beam Beam I� —2' Cross 2' Cross Tee Tee lJ sic SJMR in 2'x 4' Layout SJMR and SJC in 2'x 4' Layout SJMR and SJC in 2' x 2' Layout Bracing and 'Restraint for Seismic Installations ............................................................................. ...................................... ............. ............................................................ DIFFERENCE BETWEEN BRACING AND RESTRAINT Attachment to the wall is considered restraint. Bracing is a form of restraint (compression post and wires). . Typical seismic bracing for a wall-to-wall ceiling consists of clusters of four 12 -gage wires arrayed 900 from one another and attached to the main beam within 2" of a cross tee intersection. These wires are to be angled no more than 450 from the plane of the ceiling. The compression post is attached to the grid at the'cluster of wires and extends to the overhead structure (see Figure 1). The compression post needs to be engineered for the application and the longer its length the more substantial it must be. Typical post materials are EMT conduit or steel stud (see Figure 2). The code also allows for the use of rigid bracing. The advantage here is that when a rigid member is used in place of wires it can handle loads in two directions (push and/or pull) so only two diagonals and one vertical are needed at each location.

BRACE WIRES ARMSTRONG OR LES 45R CROSSTEARMSTRON MAIN BEAM G o.G - CROSSTEES . Figure 1 r-0 .Figure 2 Typical wall-to-wall ceiling restraint is achieved by proximity or attachment to the perimeter angles which are fixed to the walls. Seismic Design Category C allows some movement but limits are established by setting the required clearance at 3/8". Seismic Design Categories D, E and F require the ceiling grid to be fixed to the wall molding on two adjacent walls. This attachment to the molding is the first element of restraint. As the ceiling area gets larger and the mass (or weight) of the ceiling increases additional restraint must be applied in the form of "lateral force bracing." Clouds and Canopies ............................................................................................................................................................................................ INSTALLING CLOUDS Armstrong defines a cloud as a ceiling that is not connected to a wall on any side. ASCE-7 Design Manual, Section 13 states that the design of architectural components and their supports is required to meet minimum values as calculated in Section 13.3.1 for seismic force and Section 13.3.2 for lateral displacement. Ceilings are a line item on the chart associated with these calculations..Unless specifically exempted by the local authority, it should be assumed that a cloud (architectural component) comprised of grid and panels must be restrained. Part of the formula used in these calculations takes seismic design category into consideration, so the minimum force values will go down or up as the seismic risk changes. During our testing of cloud ceilings we switched from splayed wires to rigid bracing. The primary reason is so we don't have wires extending beyond the edges of the cloud. We installed a vertical post and two diagonals at the grid intersection closest to each corner of the cloud and then not more than 12 feet in each direction. During testing the plenum is typically 30 inches deep. We have successfully used 1/2" diameter EMT for post and diagonals on all such tests. The EMT ends are flattened and bent to facilitate attachment to structure and grid. Install the post first, then connect the diagonals to the lower end of the strut just above the grid bulb. Restraint for a cloud is diagonal bracing to the structure and since clouds are not attached to two walls they must have restraints. In addition to building code requirements, there is a particular installation benefit for a contractor to restrain a ceiling that does not run wall-to-wall. A restrained ceiling is easier to keep straight and square. Some contractors will initially opt to skip this step in an -attempt to save money. However, it is not advisable to do so because rework to fix alignment issues can add more labor costs than if the bracing would have been done at the onset. Typical restraint for a floating ceiling takes the form of rigid diagonal braces that extend from the suspension system members to the overhead structure. Sufficient restraint points must be used to meet the force values required by the code and to prevent movement in all directions. Additionally, the strength of the bracing members must also be matched to the anticipated applied forces. In areas subject to light seismic activity this restraint can often be achieved with sections of wall molding or main beam. However, as the seismic forces increase so must the rigidity or stiffness of the bracing. When the lateral forces match or exceed the weight of the ceiling assembly or when splay wires are used, a vertical post or strut must be added to prevent the suspension system from lifting. IBC calls for this strut to be added when the project is designated as Seismic Design Category D. DISTANCE BETWEEN A CLOUD AND WALL OR ADJACENT CLOUD There is no minimum required as long as clouds are restrained to meet the Seismic Design Category. Our testing has found that rigid bracing at all four corners meets the requirements of Seismic Design Categories D, E and F for clouds up to 200 SF if: ■ Bracing varies based on the cloud area, weight and plenum depth ■ The bracing is designed by the project engineer Keep in mind that hanger placement is determined by the length of the cantilevered component. It is not a line of sight issue. Also, a cloud will require the same bracing and restraint with or without sprinklers. INSTALLING CANOPIES Armstrong defines a canopy as a single, unique architectural element which is independently suspended from the building structure. We have found through testing that it is not practical to restrain an individual canopy. If canopies arranged in a group can be connected together it is possible to restrain the entire assembly. Wood or metal canopies can be joined by attaching an appropriately sized metal stringer across the back of the grouping and then adding vertical and diagonal bracing to the assembly. SoundScapes Shapes panels installed on the grouping frame can be restrained by adding vertical and diagonal bracing to the grouping frame assembly. Note: A 1/4" diameter threaded rod would be compatible with the grouping frames used to cluster SoundScapes Shapes panels and it can be turned into the threaded holes located at the corners of the frame imbedded into the back of individual SoundScapes Shapes panels. A threaded rod is not mechanically compatible with any of our other canopies. Note: When multiple SoundScapes Shapes panels are installed on grouping frames they perform like a cloud and should be installed to meet those restraint guidelines. The preceding guidelines are based on the 2006 edition of IBC. The 2003 requirements state that the architectural component may not "be damaged or cause damage." When 2003 requirements are in place the dimensions listed above are required between the canopies and walls or any other element that might cause them damage. Additionally, when two canopies are suspended adjacent to one another the clearance between them would need to be doubled. Note: When concealing hangers on canopies your options are limited. Make sure the hangers are as plumb as possible and paint to blend in with the plenum. DISTANCE BETWEEN CANOPIES The IBC 2006, through reference to ASCE 7, provides an exception to the restraint requirement for architectural components stated in section 13.5.1. This exception is for "components supported by chains or otherwise suspended from the structure" so long as all of the following criteria are met: ■ Design load must be equal to 1.4 times the operating weight acting in both vertical and horizontal directions ■ The component may not cause damage to an essential building element ■ The connections to the structure must allow a 3600 range of motion The first and third points can be established through design. However, the second could lead a code compliance official to require clear space between the component and an essential element equal to or greater than the length of the supporting chains or cables. Length and the placement of the hanger attachment points have a significant impact on how far the canopy will move. In general terms, the following reactions have been demonstrated through shake table testing: ■ The closer the hanger attachments are to the edges of the canopy, the lower the motion ■ The longer the hangers, the lower the motion ■ The heavier the canopy, the lower the motion Each of our canopy products is designed with the hardware set in predetermined locations. Each has been tested to determine the maximum amount of movement that can occur, and therefore the clearance required from essential building elements.

ESR -1289 represents an ICC code - compliant system for suspended ceiling mounted drywall installations. The drywall grid components listed in ESR -1289 meet ASTM C645 and are UL Fire Rated. Armstrong Drywall Grid offers a labor and cost saving method of meeting seismic code without risk of delaying your construction schedule. Additional benefits of ESR -1289 are: 4 ■ Elimination of the lateral load design requirements (see ESR -1289, Section 4.4.1) ■ Recognition and approval of DGS 6' tees (XL8965) and 6' spacing of mains reduces material, hanger wire and installation time ■ UL approval of XL8965 in fire -rated applications ■ Recognition of fire -rated Type "F" tees — XL8947, XL8947P, XL8925 and XL8918 SEISMIC INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS FOR DRYWALL CEILINGS The seismic performance of Armstrong Drywall Grid is based on specific combination of components and method of installation. ESR -1289 provides the evidence that these systems were tested to withstand seismic forces in all IBC categories. However, ESR -1289 is intended for use as a guide and is not a substitute for the actual building code. Armstrong recommends checking with the Authority Having Jurisdiction for the exact requirements of your municipal building code. California's Office of Statewide Health Planning and Development (OSHPD) and Division of the State Architect - Structural Safety (DSA -SS) are the two groups most likely to express this view. These groups are responsible for schools, medical facilities and state owned/leased essential service properties. Before IBC was adopted these groups used UBC 25-2 supplemented with their own amendments which were contained in a set of Interpretations of Regulations (IR) documents. The IRs pertaining to drywall ceilings have not been updated with the adoption of IBC and are no longer referenced on the OSHPD/DSA-SS website. However, OSHPD/DSA does have a set of amendments imbedded into the new California Building Code (CBC). Some inspectors are using the old guidelines and others are following the letter of the new code. As a result some project contractors are being asked to provide 2", molding, perimeter wires and lateral force bracing. IBC and CBC list requirements for gypsum assemblies in Chapter 25. This document references ASTM C754 as the standard practice for framing installation for these assemblies. While most of C754 speaks to stud and carrying channel/hat track materials there is a section dedicated to grid systems. 6.7 Grid Suspension System — Main beams shall be suspended in parallel rows spliced together at their ends. 6.7.1 Hangers for supporting the main beams shall comply with the minimum size and ceiling area specified in Table:6 * 6.7.2 Cross -furring members of grid suspension systems shall interlock to the main beams in rows running perpendicular and spaced not to exceed maximums specified in Table 1. Cross furring members along the ceiling perimeter shall be supported by angle or channels attached to the wall. C754-08, Section 6.1:1 has been revised to allow for 16 Sq. Ft. spacing of # 12 hanger wire for drywall suspended ceiling systems. No additional requirements are made for seismic installations, grid systems or stud and track. The assumption is that the attachment of the drywall panels to the grid is capable of transferring the lateral force to the surrounding walls. The remedy for some projects questioned by OSHPD/DSA has been to recommend that the drywall ceiling, be designed as a "diaphragm. " ASCE 7, Section 12.10 provides reference to this process. This recommendation can be used wherever'drywall ceilings are challenged, not just in California. Designing the ceiling as a diaphragm is purely an engineering exercise. The engineer must verify that there is sufficient strength in his drywall and grid to make sure that the seismic forces can be transferred to the structure. By doing this the engineer will avoid the need for 2" wall angle, lateral force bracing and all of the other "ceiling" requirements It is our understanding that drywall ceilings are exempt from the requirement of 2" closure angle, lateral force bracing and perimeter wires. This conclusion is based on review of all of the referenced documents, which are as follows: ■ Chapter 25 of IBC E OSHPD/DSA amendments to IBC . s ASTM 754 f ■ ESR -1289 ■ CISCA seismic recommendations ■ ASTM E580 0 DSA IR Manual El y. r , i For More Information .................................................................................................................................................................
