Most aluminum panels can be cut using
a straight edge and a sharp drywall knife. Make a deep score with the drywall
knife… …and bend the panel back and forth
to break it along the score.
Remember…
Once the hold-down tabs are bent, the
panel positions and grid will be locked—
be sure to inspect the installation to
ensure that the grid is square and the
panels are flat before locking.
After the entire row of panels has been
installed, bend the main tee hold-down
tabs to lock the panels against the
main tee. Bend as many hold-down tabs as neces-
sary to eliminate all gaps between the
panels and main tees. Be careful not to
overbend the tabs as this could damage
the panel. If a particular joint does not lie flat against
the main tee, cut a short piece of panel
splice about 4 to 5 inches long from the
extra splices provided. Slide one end
under a nearby hold-down tab and wedge
the other end over the top of the splice.
Start the next row of panels with a cut
panel… …so that the panel joints are staggered
from one row to the next. Repeat
this process for every other row. Panel
remnants can also be used for this.
