01

Marking of the ceiling
The level (horizontal) on which the suspended ceiling will be located is determined and the marking for the wall L-profile is made. The distance from the suspended ceiling to the main one should be at least 120 mm.
Image

02

Installation of wall L-profile
The wall L-profile (corner) is installed using dowels. The distance between the dowels is 300-500 mm.
Image

03

Marking and installation of suspensions for the main T-profiles with a length of 3600 mm
Suspensions are attached to the main ceiling using anchor dowels with a step of 800-1200 mm. The suspensions closest to the wall should be attached at a distance of no more than 600 mm from the wall. For lamps, it is necessary to use additional suspensions (from 1 to 4 depending on its size and weight). The exception is KRAFT LED lamps - they do not require additional suspensions.

Installation of ceiling plates in the finished frame
Installation of plates should be carried out in clean gloves so as not to spoil the appearance of the plates. The installation of lamps, ventilation grills and other components of the suspended ceiling is carried out during the installation process.
