	PART 3	EXECUTION
	3.1	EXAMINATION
		A.	Do not begin installation until substrates have been properly prepared.

	3.2	PREPARATION
		A.	Clean surfaces thoroughly prior to installation.
		B.	Prepare surfaces using the methods recommended by the manufacturer for achieving the best result for the substrate under the project conditions.
	3.3	INSTALLATION
		A.	Do not begin installation until materials sufficient to complete an entire room are received and prepared for installation.
		B.	Measure each ceiling area and establish layout of acoustical units to balance border widths at opposite edges of each ceiling. Avoid use of less-than-half width units at borders.
		C.	Symmetrically locate grid layout in each space. Coordinate work with other trades so that lighting fixtures, grilles and other ceiling fixtures work with grid layout.
		D.	Do not use universal splices or other splices which would obstruct passage of recessed lighting fixtures through grid openings or limit fixture relocation upon flanges of ceiling grids.
		E.	Support suspension system from structure above, not from ductwork, metal deck, equipment or piping.
		F.	Space hangers not more than 6 inches (152mm) from ends and not more than 4 feet (1219mm) on centers on runners.
		G.	Install wall moldings at the perimeter of each acoustical ceiling area and at locations where edge of units would otherwise be exposed.
			1.	Secure moldings to supporting construction by fastening with screw anchors into the substrate, through holes drilled in vertical leg. Space holes not more than 3 inches (76mm) from each end and not more than 16 inches (406mm) on center along each molding.
			2.	Level moldings with ceiling suspension system, to a level tolerance of 1/8 inch (3.2mm) in 12 feet (3658mm).
			3.	Miter corners of moldings accurately to provide hairline joints, securely connected to prevent dislocation. Cope exposed flanges of intersecting suspension system members, so that flange faces will be flush.
			4.	Furnish additional tees for supporting grilles, diffusers and light fixtures. Refer to reflected ceiling, HVAC and electrical plans for locations.
			5.	Provide reveal edge at walls, other abutting vertical surfaces.
		H.	Field paint cut edges to match surface color and sheen.
		I.	Arrange acoustical units and orient directionally patterned units, if any, in manner shown on reflected ceiling plans.
	3.4	PROTECTION
		A.	Protect installed products until completion of project.
		B.	Touch-up, repair or replace damaged products before Substantial Completion.
