Easy to install – Modulux Standard 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 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.

Thickness:

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 Standard 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 Standard Panels Textura pattern, ½" x 4' nominal x (specify length)
• Staples GSW16: 1" crown x 1½" leg. galvanized and coated
• Okaply standard vinyl-covered moulding (or your own standard painted or vinyl-covered moulding)

Assembly Instructions

Apply MODULUX Standard Panels with long edges parallel to roof trusses. Fasten panels in accordance with following specifications designed for achieving suitable Shear Resistance Values.

Place abutting panels down so that the edge of the panels are centered over the stud(s) to which they will be stapled. Staple approximately 3/8" away from and parallel to the edge at 6" intervals on both long edges. Fasten the panel by applying rosettes at 9" intervals on the center stud(s) or by gluing the panel to the center stud(s) as the case may be. Please consult a qualified adhesive supplier to evaluate the type of adhesive best suited to your particular needs. Leave a small gap between panels to allow for expansion of panels at higher humidity levels. Place the Okaply standard vinyl-covered mouldings (or any other suitable moulding) over the panel edges to cover the joint as well as the staples.
