Installation
A. Quality of Installation
The
entire installation shall have flat panel surfaces and tight, straight
line joints. Components will not shrink, swell, warp, crack or open
up and shall form a rigid structure which will retain its original
appearance under normal use. After installation, partitions shall
be free of exposed bolts, nuts, rivets or screws and all finished
surface shall be free of tool marks.
B. Door Units
All partition runs shall be
installed on top of finished flooring. Partition shall be scribed
and neatly fitted to existing building conditions, erected in a rigid,
straight manner with a horizontal line level. Floor fastenings shall
be concealed and adjustable to floor level. Variwall DP completely
partitions off space from ceiling to floor and does not neave any
opening at the top and base.
Fixing Variwall DP to the ceiling and floor can be done by installing
the sealing channel to the ceiling and the base channel to the floor.
The common method of fixing Variwall DP to the ceiling is directly
by screws or machine screws to the wood or light steel beam that are
beyond the ceiling. In case there are no such beams at the place where
the partitions are to be fixed, it would be advisable to install some
other form of reinforcing materials rather than beams. A safe and
easy way to fix Variwall DP to the floor is by screw anchor or hole-in
anchor. Fixing the side post to the pillar shall be done by the same
method as fixing the partitions to the floor.
For installations at jobsites, the joint section of top and base channel
shall be properly adjusted by jack in the base channel and by bolt
on top of the post so that installation may fit the installation allowance
given to the ceiling and floor. |
