MODULUX Ceiling System
Easy to install – Modulux panels weigh less
than one third the weight of drywall panels, making manipulation
and installation much easier.
Clean – Repairs are easy to make without causing
a mess. Users can replace single sections or full sheets without filling
the room with messy residue.
Economical – Convenient staple attachment method
and fast concealment of joints with styrene moldings enables manufacturers
to increase throughput. No waiting time needed, no separate operations.
Quality – A distinctive pattern provides high
light reflectance. Time-tested coating ensures minimum maintenance
and provides resistance
to discoloration and fading.
Surface Burning Characteristics – Class II

 MODULUX provides manufacturers with a beautiful surface pattern and a tough abrasion-resistant
surface.
MODULUX incorporates color coordinated molding sets to conceal staples and give
the ceiling an attractive, uniform look.
MODULUX panels are formed from wood fibers and special moisture-resistant agents
into a rich, deep-embossed pattern. A durable abrasion-resistant coating system
helps the embossed surface resist denting and damage during assembly.
MODULUX Surface Burning Characteristics – Class II tested and labled
with a flame spread rating of 70 in accordance with CAN/ULC-S102 test procedure.
Directions for Use
Notes to Manufacturer
- Insulation should be batt-type installed between trusses, or blanket-type
installed atop trusses.
- Where applicable, a polyethylene vapor retarder should be installed across
truss faces before installation of ceiling board.
- MODULUX panels are not recommended where exposure to moisture is extreme.
Storage and handling of materials
- Store MODULUX panels in a cool, dry place. Keep covered to prevent soiling.
- Unwrap ceiling panel units at least 72 hours before application so that
panels will stabilize to prevailing temperature and humidity.
- Handle and apply MODULUX panels by grasping ends, not edges of panels.
Bill of materials
- MODULUX Ceiling Panels Textura pattern, ½" x 4' nominal x (specify
length)
- Staples GSW16: 1" crown x 1½" leg, galvanized and coated
- Female styrene moulding. 1 per panel of equal length
- Male styrene moulding, 2 per panel (12/24" stud configuration) or
