DESCRIPTION Gridstone BRAND prefinished ceiling panels have a noncombustible, Fire-Shield G gypsum core. The 2-mil. white, stipple-textured vinyl laminate combines high light reflectance with easy cleanability. APPLICATIONS Gridstone panels are ideal for interior and unexposed exterior ceiling applications such as soffits, parking garages, kitchens and baths. Gridstone panels are accepted by the USDA for use in food service and food processing areas. ADVANTAGES o Quick, dry installation. Gridstone Ceiling Panels install easily in standard exposed grid systems. o Fire-resistant. A noncombustible gypsum core assures fire safety with 1 1/2- and 2-hour fire rating achievable depending on installation. o Pre-decorated. The sturdy white vinyl laminate eliminates additional finishing. o The product shall be maintained at a temperature between 60 º and 104 º Fahrenheit (16 º - 40 º Centigrade) and not exceed 90% relative humidity prior to, during and after installation. LIMITATIONS o Do not install panels in areas exposed to extreme or continuous moisture. o For exterior application, protect grid panels from direct exposure to weather, water and continuous high humidity. Under no circumstances should water be in contact with the back of the panels. o Can support 1.6 #/sq. ft. of insulation. o Overlaid insulation may cause excessive panel deflection and is not recommended where high humidity is likely to occur. o Extreme lighting conditions may distort texture appearance. o The use of strong organic solvents (such as ketones), harsh abrasive cleansers or steel wool are not recommended. These materials may cause dulling, discoloration, softening and other permanent damage to the vinyl surface.

INSTALLATION APPLICABLE STANDARDS AND REFERENCES National Gypsum Co. Gypsum Construction Guide Gridstone ceiling panels are designed to be mounted in standard 15/16" exposed tee grid systems or environmental type grids for severe conditions, with grids either 2' by 2' or 2' by 4'. Grid installation should be conducted according to manufacturer's specification. Each panel must be supported on all four (4) edges. Cross ventilation must be provided in unheated or enclosed space above ceiling panels.
