Installation Standards

  1. Field measure each wall area which is to receive the acoustical or trackable treatment to establish the exact layout of the units as shown on elevations.
  2. Apply the Fabric-Walls Track framework in the areas to receive the acoustical wall treatment as shown on the drawings. Other fasteners may be used as required for specific substrates, providing they are in strict accordance with the manufacturer's printed instructions and comply with governing regulations and fire resistance rating requirements specified.
  3. Install the track framework plumb and straight, flush in proper alignment.
  4. Install the sub-surface material, continuous and flush, to the shoulder of the track.
  5. Cut the fabric from each roll marking and maintaining sequence of drops and matching direction of weave for sequential and uniform installation.
  6. Install the fabric from the face side after the framework is securely fastened to insure perfect horizontal and vertical grain alignment.
  7. The fabric shall be stretched tautly, evenly and smoothly and be free of defects and flaws.
  8. No stapling or gluing of fabric to core or channels will be permitted.
  9. Penetrations through the face of fabric of any kind (i.e. staples, nails, etc.) will be prohibited.
  10. Prewrapped, prefabricated, or wood ground systems do not meet the intent of this specification.
  11. Installation shall be timely.

Worksite Cleaning and Protection

  1. Clean exposed surfaces of acoustical wall panels. Trim and remove all loose threads.
  2. Remove surplus materials, rubbish and debris resulting from the Fabric-Walls installation and leave areas of installation in a neat, clean condition.
  3. Optional - if site conditions require, cover fabric panels with drop cloth at additional cost.
