Introduction
This publication provides basic information for the planning and
installation of OWAtecta® ceilingsystems.
The information contained within this guide is based on our recom-
mendations and those contained within the current EuropeanStandards (EN 13964). Inline with improving standards and tech-
niques please make sure you are using the current* issues of both
documents.
As a manufacturer and supplier, we offer complete, tried and tested
ceiling systems. OWA ceiling systems can be used to achieve
practical and visual results.
In all cases the correct installation of the ceiling is essential to ensure
that the ceiling can fulfil any such requirements.
In order for the OWA ceiling to provide a high level of
performance, it must be installed in accordance with the
relevant test report, assessment or those recommenda-tions provided by OWA.
Failure to use the specified components or comply with
the installation recommendations will invalidate any test
report, assessment or warranty.

Fire
OWAtecta® panels as building material
According to DIN EN 13501-1 and DIN 4102 Part 1, building ma-
terials are divided into the following classes according to their fire
behaviour.

These convergence tables have been published in Annexes 0.1.2/
0.2.2 of the Building Regulation List A Part 1.
As a rule, OWAtecta®
tiles and construction parts comply with firebehaviour A1 according to DIN EN 13501-1. The respective
fire resistance classes of non-woven backings must be taken into
consideration.
OWAtecta® – structural components
A structural component in the sense of EN 13501-2 is not just the
suspended ceiling itself, but the entire construction – consisting of
supporting floor or soffit and suspended ceiling or of roof and sus-
pended ceiling. This entire construction should prevent the penetra-
tion of fire for as long as possible. In this context not only the material
of the ceiling, but also the fire behaviour of the suspending construc-
tion is of great significance.
Basic planning
An OWA ceiling is installed using dry construction methods and is
generally for interior use only. The basic principles of dry construction
should be applied when installing the ceilings. Where additional
materials such as timber or gypsum are used, the guidelines on
working with those products should also be observed.
Site conditions
Before installing an OWA ceiling, the room/site conditions should be
assessed. The area should be weather tight (windows and doors in
place) and have a stable, dry environment. The ceiling should only be
installed after the wet trades, such as plaster- and screed-work have
been completed and the environment is dry and stable.
Reference values for site environments
Generally the relative humidity should be < 70 % RH (reference
temperature 25 °C; conditions suitable for tradesmen‘s work, roomtemperature > 7 °C), but it is recommended that installation should
take place at temperature and humidity levels similar to those that will
prevail during subsequent occupation.
Standards for suspended ceilings
Since 1st January 2005, a so-called co-existence period has applied
for the standard EN 13964 (Requirements and test procedures
for suspended ceilings) and the appropriate national standard for
suspended ceilings in all EU States. During this phase, both of the EN
and the individual National Standards remained valid.
Following the expiry of the co-existence period on 30th June 2007,
only EN 13964 will continue to be valid.
Quality
Dimensions, material characteristics and colour are covered by
EN 13964
Colour
Allowable tolerances in shade of colour OWA white
The difference in ΔE value within one production batch may not ex-
ceed a value of 1.0. Where the materials used are from more than one
production batch the tolerance may be greater than Δ E = 1.0. Grea-
ter variation may be expected when installing materials purchased as
individual orders over extended periods of time.

Sound
OWAtecta® ceiling systems can fulfill a wide range of functions
relating to the control of sound.
Optimising room acoustics
In many rooms, the correct reverberation time T [s] is required for
good comprehension of speech or appreciation of music. Similarly,
in noise-intensive production facilities or workshops, the greatest
possible sound level reduction is required to make the environment
more comfortable.
Reverberation time regulation Tsoll [s]
Noise level reduction ΔL [dB]
The four following standards contain the basics of measuring room
acoustics. The requirements for specific applications depend on local
or country regulations; we suggest you ask our local sales offices for
guidance.
– DIN 18041 “Audibility in small to medium-sized rooms”Edition May 2004
– VDI 2569 ”Noise Reduction and Acoustic Design in the office”
Edition January 1990
– EU guideline 2003/10/EG ”Noise in the Workplace”
– BGV B3 (Noise) January 1990 (update January 1997)
This list is not defi nitive and other standards or regulations may be applicable.
Optimising building acoustics
OWAtecta® ceiling systems can be used to reduce and control air-
borne sound generated from the cavity and adjacent rooms especially
when combined with additional infill elements, such as OWAcoustic®
mineral wool panels. This combination is even more important when
using perforated metal panels.
In the modified form, the ceiling can be used to:
– enhance the airborne sound insulation Rw [dB] of solid and
wooden beam soffits
– improve sound insulation Dn,c,w [dB] between two adjacent rooms
with a common plenum
– reduce noises from the plenum
As installation conditions vary from site to site, each project should
be assessed on its own merits. Where the acoustic performance of a
room is important, it is recommended that a qualified acoustician be
consulted.
More guidance can be found in the relevant national standards:– DIN 4109 “Sound Insulation in Buildings – November 1989
Standards for the load-bearing building component:
Soffit + suspended Ceiling
Depending on their fire resistance duration, building
components are divided into the following classes:
Building inspectorateappointment
Fire resistanceclass
Fire resistanceclass
Resistance tofire durationin minutesEN 13501-2 DIN 4102
fire-retardant REI 30 F 30 30

fire resistant REI 90 F 90 90
fire resistant REI 120 F 120 120
highly fire resistant REI 180 F 180 180
The fire resistance of structures in combination with suspended cei-
lings must be proven by fire tests according to European standards.
Tests covering many typical constructions have been successfully
carried out with OWA ceiling systems.
Fire resistance from above and below:
Independent fire protection unit
The supply lines in the ceiling void must be protected – the escape
routes beneath. We developed independent fire protection units forthis. With it, the following fire resistance class values are achieved:
EI 30, F 30 to F 90. This means that escape routes beneath the fire
are protected for up to 90 minutes. The supply lines will be protec-
ted for just as long if the fire originates in the room. The units are
delivered ready to install.
Fire resistance with OWAtecta®
When used in conjunction with OWAcoustic® panels, fire resistance
can be achieved using a number of OWAtecta® ceiling systems.
Independent fire resistant OWAtecta® ceiling systems are also availa-
ble. The performances shown in our test reports are only valid when
OWAtecta® systems, panels and components are used and installed
in accordance with the relevant test report.

Basics – technical guidelines
Flatness
The manufacturing tolerances for thin gauge materials are shown in
table 4 of EN 13964.
“Squareness“
The suspension system (main and cross sections) must be installed
absolutely square. The permissible deviation depends on the dimen-sions of the ceiling membranes used and their attachment. A practical
method to check the squareness of the modules is regular checking
of the diagonals during installation and/or the correct fitting of the
ceiling panels. The permissible deviation depends on the panel type,
but even the slightest deviations from squareness may in practice
lead to visible deformation of the panels.
Alignment of panels
Suspension systems, panels and any service elements included in the
ceiling plane must be installed accurately and in accordance with the
module specified. Care should be taken to ensure that the alignments
of profiles are maintained, especially at joints and intersections.
Cutting perimeter panels to size
Normally, the ceiling layout will be based on the centre line of the
room bisecting, or running along the junction of a panel. Unless
otherwise agreed, whichever provides the largest perimeter panel is
normally used. Ideally, the perimeter panel should be at least half the
size of the panel. When cut, installed and pushed over against the tee
parallel with wall, at least 10 mm of the panel should be resting on the
perimeter trim.

Planning before installation
Our metal ceilings are suitable for the application areas given in DIN
EN 13964. An inspection of the building site to check local condi-
tions, site measurement of the rooms and production of an installa-
tion plan are important preliminary work steps. The ceiling layout,
arrangement of lighting and similar matters must be determined with
the architect.
Structural physics basics
All planning relevant aspects, such as determining ventilation cross-
sections, air exchange rates, arrangement of vapour barriers, humi-
dity, feasibility of a soffit in the case of a ventilated ceiling with regard
to the formation of any condensation in the building etc, must be
determined by an expert planner (building physicist) and tested, if
necessary.
Requirements regarding building physics, fire protection, acoustics or
other matters, which could arise among other things from the relevant
standards, have not been considered in this installation brochure.
Perimeter panels
The size of perimeter tiles will be dependant on the ceiling layout and
may be dictated by the position of services, walls, partitions etc. as
well as other aesthetic considerations.
Generally, perimeter tiles should be as close to a full module size as
possible, and preferably larger than half a tile. In the example shown
below, we take a room that is 3.0 meters wide and install 625 x 625
mm tiles. The recommended layout uses three full tiles and two cut
perimeter tiles of 562,5 mm.
This is preferable to the other example, which uses four full tiles and
two cut perimeter tiles of 250 mm. The number of tiles is the same,
but the ceiling would require an additional run of suspension profiles
and be less aesthetically balanced.
Example:
uneconomical tile distribution economical tile distribution
Effect of light or lighting on the suspended ceilingsFor architectural and optical reasons, light striking the suspended
ceiling at a shallow angle should be avoided. This refers both to light
fittings and to glazed facades that extend up to the lower edge of the
ceiling.
Unfavourable incident light can emphasise and exaggerate any minor
difference in levels or pattern even when this lies within the tolerance
range. The installer can contribute significantly to the appearance of
the ceiling by observing all of the manufacturer‘s recommendations.
Tolerances
Mass produced ceilings are produced within tolerances that are
deemed to be acceptable. These tolerances are shown in EN 13964
– The European standard for suspended ceilings. (See below forexcerpt).

Masking work
If the visible side of the substructure is to be protected against
external influences by masking or covering (e.g. painting), then make
sure that the surface of the structural element is not affected. The
compatibility of the adhesive tape that is used must be checked by
the worker through prior testing. To maintain the value of the visible
surface, it is generally wise to forego direct masking.
Load-bearing capacity – additional load
OWAconstruct® systems are designed to support the tiles and sus-
pensions system. Additional loads, such as recessed and surface-
mounted lighting, air outlets, insulation overlays, curtain rails, partition
walls etc. must be taken into account separately in each individual
case. Additional measures may be required to support the additional
loads as well as provide increased stability where necessary).
Hangers should not be used to support loads such as electrical
cables etc.
According to EN 13964, the substructure is to be classified accor-
ding to the maximum deflection as shown in Table 6.
Class Maximum deflection in mm
1 L/500 ≤ 4 mm
2 L/300
3 No limit
L is the span between the suspension components or suspension points
Note: The OWAconstruct® substructure may only be loaded in
accordance with the approved tables. If the ceiling is being used toprovide any form of fire resistance additional or independent hangers
should be provided.
Building, expansion and movement joints
Normally, building expansion and movement joints should be duplica-
ted in the ceiling membrane or suspended ceiling.
Example: Expansion joint and movement joint for the OWAconstruct system S 3without fire protection.
Pressure and wind loads
Closed rooms and buildings with open facades are just two examples
where wind loading and/or air pressure within a room can create
additional loads on ceilings. Where such problems can be identified,
additional measures must be taken to protect the stability and securi-
ty of the ceiling and components within the ceiling plane.
Construction of suspended ceilings and
ceiling membranes
Individual system guides for each system show construction details,
dimensions and components for all OWAconstruct® suspension
systems. Detailed information on OWAconstruct® components and
accessories can be found in the OWAlifetime collection price list.
Before planning or installing an OWAcoustic® ceiling, the user should
satisfy themselves that the leaflet reflects the most up to date infor-
mation on the system and any standards that may relate to its use.
OWAconstruct® profiles fall into deflection Class 1 according to
EN 13964 (Table 1) (maximum deflection = L/500 ≤ 4 mm).
To achieve this classification the profiles should not be notched,drilled or altered in any other way that may affect its structural cha-
racteristics.

Fasteners on bare ceilings and roofs etc.connection and fastening elements(top holder)
To be able to create a friction-fitted connection between the bare
ceiling, roof, binders etc. and the OWAtecta® suspension system,only approved fasteners are to be used. In the case of anchoring in
a firm foundation, the relevant ETA (European technical approval)
of the particular connection device must be complied with as a rule
according to DIN EN 13964.
The instructions of the dowel manufacturer or fastener must be
observed. The respective applicable approvals or the building inspec-
torate test reports for the fastening elements (possibly pull-out tests)
must be taken into consideration.
Delivery
Our „general terms of sale, delivery and payment“ apply.
Transport and storage
OWAtecta® products must always be stored in a way that ensures
they are not exposed to moisture, dust or mechanical influences.
Additionally, the following points must observed:
• In the event of delivery on pallets, the panels must be stored on
the pallets until their installation.
• Cartons must always be stored with the designated side upwards.
• No foreign material may be stored on the pallets or the cartons. They may not be stepped on or used as a seat or ladder.
• When storing metal panels, care must be taken to ensure that the
panels are not damaged by the supporting surface.
• The particular installation company is responsible for the storage.
• Metal panel packages may not be stacked higher than 2 m.
• Transport routes within the building site must be reduced to a
minimum.
• When possible, centralized storage places should be designated
on each floor.
• In the event of maintenance work, care must be taken to ensure
demounted ceiling panels are placed on one of their long sides
and carefully leant against a wall, with the finished surface facing
the wall. Panels are never to be stored on the decorative surface.

Corrosion protection of profiles, hangers andmembrane materials
The humidity level within a room not only affects the membrane
material but may also have an effect on the suspension system and
associated components. These are generally manufactured from coldrolled steel and should have the correct level of corrosion resistance
to match the proposed installation environment.
Excerpt from EN 13964:
The environmental conditions are defined in Table 7.
Table 7 – Classes of exposure
Class Condition
A Building components generally exposed to varying
relative humidity up to 70 % and varying temperature
up to 25 °C but without corrosive pollutants.
B Building components frequently exposed to varying
relative humidity up to 90 % and varying temperatureup to 30 °C but without corrosive pollutants.
C Building components exposed to an atmosphere with
a level of humidity higher than 90 % and accompanied
by a risk of condensation.
D More severe than the above.
In EN 13964, Table 8 gives the minimum requirements for corrosion
protection according to the classes of Table 7.
Classes of corrosion protection of metal substructure com-
ponents and membrane components are defined in table 8
of EN 13964.
Standard OWAtecta® metal ceiling panels are made of sheet steel
and have a ZE 25/25 electro-galvanised or ZE60/ZE60 hot dip galva-
nized surface. This corresponds to either corrosion protection class A
or B of Table 8.
OWAtecta® subconstruction components have a 7 – 10 µm zinc coa-
ting on all sides and therefore meet the requirements of both class A
and class B of the table 8.
It is important to ensure that the corrosion resistant protection is not
damaged before or during installation or later when in general use.
Where components are cut or damaged, they must be treated to
ensure the required level of resistance is not compromised.
Contact corrosion
Corrosion due to the interaction of different materials must be
prevented by introducing the correct protective measures (as shown
in EN ISO 129443-3 point 5.10). These should be identified prior to
installation to prevent failure at a later date.

Environment and disposal
The use of OWAtecta® metal products provides an easy to recycle
ceiling. Ceiling is easy to de-construct. Materials are easy to identify
and recycle. Materials do not contain asbestos or formaldehyde.
Recycling of packing material
OWA in Germany has reached a recycling agreement for all pa-
ckaging materials (cartons, pallets, PE foils …) with INTERSEROH
AG, contract no. 27681.
A similar recycling organisation may be present in your country.
Please contact your local sales office for further information.
Prof. Dr. R. MuttersInstitute for Medical Microbiologyand Hospital HygienePhilipps University Marburg
For installation in hygiene-sensitive areas,
please see OWA-brochure no. 9398.
For use in cleanrooms, for over/underpressure ceilings
or for necessary chemical resistance, please see OWA-
brochure no. 9398.
Safety
Thin walled materials must be handled with care to avoid personal
injury and product damage.
The installer must ensure that all associated risks are minimised and a
full risk assessment is carried out.
Cleaning and care
The standard finish for OWAtecta® ceiling panels is an electrostatic
polyester powder coating. Other types of finishes are available upon
request.
Normally, our products do not need cleaning unless the room envi-
ronment, climate control, ventilation or use makes the ceilings visibly
dirty. Where this happens, the following actions may be considered.
• For the cleaning of visible surfaces, we recommend the use ofmild, lukewarm, soapy water (standard household washing-up
liquid) or diluted alcohol based window cleaning agent using a
clean soft-fibre cloth. Finally, theceiling can be wiped over with
a chamois leather. Any oily or greasy residues can be removed
with white spirit, however, this has to be carefully applied to avoid
any detrimental effect on the sheen. In all cases, we recommend
that a small trial area be tested before cleaning the whole ceiling.
Scouring agents are not permissible.
• Painting the ceiling is another possibility, but should be carried out
by professional painters. Again, we would recommend a trial area
as de-greasing or sanding may be required. Care should also be
taken to ensure the reaction to fire classification is not affected.Painting is not recommended for perforated panels, as the
acoustic performance may be impaired.

Attention, only when using the substructure S 31/32.
The distance between the topside of the U profile or T profile and the
underside of the metal panel cannot be adjusted. This means that the
perimeter trims have to be fixed precisely.
Installation and removal of panels
The panels for the clip-in systems are manufactured with pips on two
parallel edges to provide a friction connection with the clip-in profiles.
The panels are pushed into the clip-in profiles until an audible click is
heard.
The removal or swinging down of the panels is only possible using
the special removal tool no. 99005. The tool is pushed into the
unclamped panel joint – directly next to the clip-in profile. The spring
hinge of the tool must be on the side of the panel to be removed.
After the spring has clicked into place in the panel edge, the panel
can be carefully withdrawn from the clip-in profile. The same proce-
dure is to be applied to the other panel edges.

Connection of U profiles
The U profiles are connected by means of connector no. 77E which
also provides a small degree of dimensional tolerance. The U profiles
and connector bracket are joined together using M6 bolts and safety
clip no. 66E. Joints in U profiles must be staggered.
Suspension and connection ofthe clip-in profiles
The clip-in profiles hold the panels in place and are suspended from
the U profile at the required module centres using hanger bracket
no. 11E and safety clip no. 66E. The clip-in profiles are joined to-
gether using connector no. 88E.
To avoid downward deflection of the ceiling, profile joints must be
staggered.

anchor can be fixed to the side (as shown) or underneath the U
profile.
Note:
The U profiles should be installed so that the slots in the sides are
in line with each other. To provide a degree of flexibility, theslots are sized differently and are offset.

Installation and removal of panels
The panels for the clip-in systems are manufactured with pips on two
parallel edges to provide a friction connection with the clip-in profiles.
The panels are pushed into the clip-in profiles until an audible click is
heard.
The removal or swinging down of the panels is only possible with the
special removal tool no. 99005. The tool is pushed into the unclam-
ped panel joint – directly next to the clip-in profile. The spring hinge
of the tool must be on the side of the panel to be removed. After the
spring has clicked into place in the panel edge, the panel can be
carefully withdrawn from the clip-in profile. The same procedure is to
be applied to the other panel edges.
Swinging down of panels
Individual panels can be selected to swing down in system S 31. For
this, a fold-down spring element no. 86E must be snapped on to the
clip-in section no. 87E in the area of the tile joint that is to serve as
“hinge“. Both adjacent panels can then be swung down in opposition
to each other. If a swing down spring hinge is likewise arranged on
the panel joint after the next one, an area the size of two panels canbe opened in the ceiling by swinging down.
The panels are provided with so-called stopping tabs at the clamped
edges to guarantee a neat panel joint.
For access/hingeable tiles, the stopping tabs must be bent over in the
area of the fold-down spring elements.
In the case of rectangular panels, it is the other way round,
i.e. if they are not swung down, the fields stamped into the ends have
to be pressed inwards (stop).
System S 32 differs from S 31 only by every second panel joint being
equipped with a swing down spring hinge. As a result, all panels can
be swung down. By pushing the folded back panels onto the clam-
ping rail, the opening space of the ceiling between the clamping rails
can be made even larger.
Wind safety (on the „inside“ of a building)
Wind loads can also occur on the inside of a building (entrance area
etc.). The planner should formulate detailed requirements for this.
Possible structural solutions can be found in the following.
The tiles can be secured against falling down - e.g. in the event of
high wind pressure - with the help of security clip no. 68E.
The clip is suspended from the perforation in the panel and clipped
on to the clamping rail. In this way the next panel is also secured. Two
security clips per panel are necessary. If the security clip is used, the
panel cannot be demounted or swung down.
The fold-down spring element can be secured with the help ofsecurity clip no. 86E01. The swing-down capacity of the panel is
preserved.
Wall perimeters
The distance between the top of the U profile edge and the undersi-de of the metal panel is 96 mm and cannot be adjusted. This means
that the wall angles must be fixed accurately.
The following wall angle variations are available:
C wall angle no. 57
(steel, visible side white) in combination with wall spring clip no. 5210
F shadow wall angle no. 5620F
(aluminium, visible side powder-coated white)

Clean room ceiling
In the case of use of non-perforated metal tiles, system S 31
meets the conditions for clean room ceilings (cf. OWA-brochure
no. 895 – ceilings for clean rooms).
For this, for uneven walls, the joint between the wall angle and wall
must be sprayed out with acrylic or an equivalent elastic material.
It is important that the edge tiles are pressed against the wall angle
with the respective wall spring clip. In some circumstances, two or
more wall springs are to be used per tile.
Please consult us if you mount ceilings in clean rooms.
directly or swung down. Consequently, in the case of smaller or
narrow areas at least three panels per installation row are required
so that initially the penultimate panel and then the wall panel can be
demounted.
See OWAtecta® brochure no. 9300 (price list) for additional wall
angles and information on installation.

see OWA-brochure no. 632.
General notes
Clip-in panels with integrated lighting as a compact component are
available for systems S 31 and S 32.
If the location point of the lighting to be installed is not known, con-
nector clip no. 12E can be used as an alternative to hanger bracket
no. 11E – provided the void height permits this.
The distance between the top edge of U profile no. 70E and the
underside of the metal panels is then 146 mm instead of 96 mm.
As a result, most lighting can be installed irrespective of the location
of the U profiles.

Cross tees
Cross tee no. 46 or no. 47
In conjunction with the main tee, the cross tees are used to create
the required module. They are equiped at both ends with off-set hook
connectors that are inserted into the main tee slots.
Care must be taken to
– insert the connectors in the correct side of the slot (see diagram
above).– ensure the cross tee expansion nose is not bent.
– ensure the visible surfaces of the profiles are flat and level.
Cross tees no. 46 or no. 47 are off-set to the left. cross tees no. 47
and no. 47/15 are slotted in the middle for the insertion of additional
cross tees.
Perimeter cross tees are supported by the wall angle and
should be cut short of the wall by 5 mm or 1/3 of the width
of the wall angle, whichever is less.
Additional hangers must be used to compensate for any additional
loads placed on the cross tees.

Main tee no. 45 is equipped at both ends with integrated connector
connections that produce high tensile strength connections.
A hanger should always be positioned close to the joint and
joints should be staggered.
Expansion joint
Every main tee is equipped with a standard expansion joint at one end,
which serves to accommodate linear expansion in the event of fire.
The main tees must be so arranged that no expansion joints are adjacent
to each other. No load transfers (hangers, light attachments …) are to
be fitted to the expansion joint.
When setting up the first main tee row, it must be ensured that:
– the distance to the wall corresponds to the length (width) of theperimeter panel.
– the distance of the slot for the insertion of the cross tee to the wall
corresponds to the width (length) of the perimeter panel.
The main tees can be installed almost without waste, i. e. most off-cuts
can be used at the beginning of the next row of main tees, automatically
creating staggered joints (see previous).
The main tees are supported by wall angle and should be cut
short of the wall by 5 mm or 1/4 of the width of the wall angle,
whichever is less.

Integrated lighting
OWA supplies compatible integrated lighting for this system (OWA-
Lex, OWA-Terra, OWA-Opta) in the dimensions 600 x 600 mm and
625 x 625 mm. This lighting can be installed in place of a panel in the
supporting structure.
The lighting must be independently suspended or additional hangers
must be installed to compensate for the additional loading where
appropriate.
Downlights must in general be suspended independently. The
required panel cut-outs can be included during manufacturing pro-
vided they are ordered together with the panels.
Electrical cables and other additional loads are not to be laid onto the
ceiling or suspension system.
Coordination with the electrical planner or installer is
important to enable the installation of additional or independentsuspension. Experience shows that the installation of hangers retro-
spectively is more difficult, more expensive and they are therefore
more likely to be omitted leaving a potentially serious, concealed
defect.

Installation and removal of panels
The panels for the clip-in systems are manufactured with pips on two
parallel edges to provide a friction connection with the clip-in profiles.
The panels are pushed into the clip-in profiles until an audible click is
heard.
The removal or swinging down of the panels is only possible with a
special tool, the removal tool no. 99005. The tool is pushed into the
unclamped panel joint – directly next to the clip-in profile. The spring
hinge of the tool must be on the side of the panel to be removed.
After the spring has clicked into place in the panel edge, the panel
can be carefully withdrawn from the clip-in profile. The same proce-
dure is to be applied to the other panel edges.
Swinging down of panels
Individual panels or all of them can be selected to swing down in
system S 36. For this, wire clip no. 69E must be inserted in the drill
hole of the long side of the tile that is to serve as hinge, and snapped
onto the clamping rail no. 87B (see illustration).
Up to three swing down panels can be pushed next to each other on
the clip-in profile to enlarge the opening area. A ceiling area twiceas big can be opened due to the swing down action in opposite
directions.
Please note:
access/hingeable tiles cannot be demounted.

Installation and removal of panels
The panels for the clip-in systems are provided with sliding couplings
at the ends of one long side, which rest on the G-section when they
are extended. A spring is attached at the end of each of the opposite
long edges, which protrudes into the front side through a recess and
also rests on the G profile.
Installation procedure
• Check whether there is joint tape on three panel sides - add this if
necessary
• Retract the sliding couplings
• Push the panel diagonally (sliding coupling side above) between
the G-sections
• Extend sliding couplings (resting on G-sections) until they click
into place in the perforations in the panel (panel is in swung down
condition)
• Swing panel up until the springs click into place (press springs if
necessary inwards to fit)
Hinge down / remove panels
To press the spring hinges into the panel, a special tool is required,
e. g. the Clip Tool no. 99005 or putty knife (see above).
• Push clip tool (putty knife) between panel and G profile
• Press spring in by lateral pushing of the clip tool (putty knife)
• Swing panel downwards
• To demount retract the sliding couplings and remove panel
As in the Success version, swung down panels can be pushed
together.
S 36 Swing (G profile)
Panels can be swung down along the long side or
individually removed.

If using bracket no. 12E02 to support the Z profile the distance (a)
must be ≥ 80 mm. If less than 80 mm version 2 or 3 should be used
Version 2
To install the panels a minimum distance of 10-15 mm is required
between the wall and the panel. When this distance is less than
12 mm wall anchor no. 75E or bracket no. 99008 should be used.
Version 3
L profile No. 5110 E is fixed to the wall at the appropriate level and
the Z profile bolted below using M6 nuts and bolts at 50 cm centres.
Both profiles are supplied with predrilled holes at 50 cm centres.
The L profile is 45 mm wide and allows panels to be removed but not
hinged down.
Installation and removal of panels
To install or remove the panels there must be a minimum distance
between the panel and the wall of at least 10 mm one end and
15 mm the other. To allow the panels to hinge down there must be
a minimum distance of 40 mm between the wall and panels.
S 36 – lay-on
Here, the rectangular panels (also warehouse rectangular panels)
are placed on the F edge trim, cut on one side if need be, and
secured with a wall spring clip. Lifting heights are dependent on the
respective wall angle, e.g. Level F profile no. 56/20F – lifting height
approx. 25 mm.

Connection of U profiles
The U profiles are connected by means of connector no. 77E which
also provides a small degree of dimensional tolerance. The U profiles
and connector bracket are joined together using M6 bolts and safety
clip no. 66E. U profiles joints must be staggered.
Wall anchor
After the U profiles have been aligned in both directions, each
U carrier row is fixed to the wall using wall anchor no. 75E.
This wall anchor can be fixed to the side (as shown) or underneath
the U profile.
Please note: The U profiles should be installed so that the slots in
the sides are in line with each other. To provide a degree of flexibility,
the slots are sized differently and are offset.
Suspension and connection of the Z profile
The Z profile should be installed at the correct centres for the speci-
fied panel and are attached to the U profile using connector bracket

Installation and removal of panels
The panel is pushed diagonally (with the longer angled edge up-
wards) between the Z profiles. The other edge is suspended from the
Z profile and the angled edge placed on the adjacent Z profile. The
Z profiles must be adjusted according to the panel width PLUS the
sealing tape.
* If height at front side of the tile is 30 mm the above shown distances are valid.
Panels can be demounted by reversing the installation process.
Where increased upwards pressures are anticipated (such as wind
pressure or for security reasons) it is possible to secure the panels
against lift using anti-lift clamp no. 67E. These are mechanically fixed
on site to the Z profile using an M6 nut and bolt. One clamp is requi-
red per panel (on every Z profile row).
Wall perimeters
The distance H, between the top of the U carrier edge and the
underside of the metal panel, cannot be adjusted. This means that the
perimeter trims must be fixed accurately.
The following wall angle versions are recommended:
C wall angle no. 57
(steel, visible side white)
in combination with wall spring clip no. 5210
F shadow wall angle no. 5620F
(aluminium, visible side powder-coated white)
in combination with wall spring clip no. 5220
F wall angle no. 50F
(aluminium, visible side white)
in combination with wall spring clip no. 5220
See OWAtecta® brochure no. 9300 (price list) for additional wall
angles and information on installation.
Installation of lighting
Please note: the lights must be arranged between the car-
rier sections No. 70E.
( The installation height of the lighting is normally greater than the
distance between panel and carrier section.)
Electrical cables are not to be laid onto the ceiling or suspension
system.
Coordination with the electrical planner or installer is im-
portant to enable the installation of additional or independent sus-
pension. Experience shows that the installation of hangers retrospec-
tively is more difficult, more expensive and they are therefore more
likely to be omitted leaving a potentially serious, concealed defect.

Cross-section
To allow easy installation and removal, the wall absorber should com-
prise at least three OWAtecta® panels.
Installation
• Fix the bottom horizontal trim to the
wall (all trims are prepunched).
• Fix the vertical trims in place en-
suring a flush finish with the lower
trim.
• Glue the sealing tape into the upper
horizontal trim prior to installation
(see diagram).
• Fix the top horizontal trim between
vertical trims ensuring a flush finish.
• Insert the OWAcoustic® panels into
the OWAtecta® panels.
• Insert the OWAtecta® panel into the
upper horizontal trim lifting until it
clears the lower trim (take care not
to dislodge tape).
• Lower the OWAtecta® panel gentlyinto the lower trim. The centre
panel is the last to be installed.
Note:
The 15-mm holes in the trims have an acoustic function and must not
be blocked or concealed.
Special Sizes
Where special length absorber units are used, the vertical trims
should be cut 18 mm longer than the panels.
For an installation less than 1200 mm from the floor, we
recommend installing a 30 mm thick wooden strip horizon-tally in the area between the absorber and wall.
