Step 5: Corner Installation
Outside Corners
A. To install outside corners, slide a permanent splice plate into each side
of the preformed outside corner.
B. Attach one side of the outside corner to the C OMPÄSSO trim.
C. Connect a length of C OMPÄSSO trim to the other side of the corner and
secure with appropriate splice plate.
Inside Corners
Inside corners for C OMPÄSSO Elite are pre-formed and welded while
C OMPÄSSO Standard must be field assembled from mitered parts supplied.
See tip sheet for specific product for details.
Installation Notes
The above guide is by no means the only way to install a C OMPÄSSO
island. The very successful C OMPÄSSO product has been on the market
for many years. If islands are particularly small, they can be assembled
on the floor and hanger wire points “lasered” up to the deck. Then the
entire assembly can be lifted into place with an appropriate number of
installers. Even large islands, if there is adequate and clear floor space
below, can be laid out on paper with hanger wires put in place before
assembly takes place in the air. Different levels of experience and job
conditions will indicate the best way to proceed. The steps in this guide
will always result in a successful installation.
