Concealed Ceiling Steel Products

The Peer Industries concealed ceiling system utilises furring channels, top cross rails, rod and

suspension clips to provide a flush ceiling finish.

This concealed ceiling system is versatile and provides many options to the user.

These concealed ceiling systems have been designed to meet Australian and New Zealand

Standards together with sound engineering principles substantiated through laboratory tests.

Ceiling Systems are not Trafficable unless stated, and are

designed to carry the weight of the ceiling only.

The Peer concealed ceiling system can be used in both fire rated and non fire rated situations

using appropriate plasterboard or other suitable cladding materials.

Peer Industries concealed ceiling systems can be used to build either a typical ceiling or an

acoustically rated ceiling by using appropriate plasterboard.

Acoustic ceilings with a specific STC rating can be achieved by using furring channel with

resilient mounts and appropriate plasterboard.

This suspended ceiling systems manual is designed to provide a general guide to the design and

application of Peer Suspended Ceilings.

For more information or design assistance related to systems outside those covered in this

design manual, contact Peer Design by email on [email protected] or our nearest

customer service centre by calling 1300 725 675 for further advice.

Peer Industries C79S multidirectional clip was designed specifically to make building a non

standard (square or rectangular) ceiling easy

The C79S clip is a multidirectional clip that will allow 360

degree rotation of furring channel to top cross rail.

This clip has been specifically designed to address the problems

encountered in the construction of irregularly shaped non

square or rectangular ceilings.

The use of this clip will simplify the construction of difficult

ceilings and result in significant saving in construction time

The C79S clip has been extensively load tested and complies

with all relevant standards.

The C79S is manufactured from the highest quality corrosion

resistant zinc plated steel available and is covered by Peer

industries standard product warranty.

(6) Typical Concealed Ceiling System - Ceiling Joists

Refer to Fig 20

Electrical, mechanical and plumbing services can make suspended ceiling systems difficult to install. The height of a project can also render the installation of a suspended ceiling system uneconomical. To solve this problem Peer steel studs can be used as ceiling framing members in areas such as corridors and bathrooms.

Refer to span table CS-01 for ceiling joist sizes and spacing.

• Mark position of tracks at ceiling level on wall as per working drawings.

• Fix these perimeter tracks with appropriate fasteners close to stud (ceiling joist location) at 600 mm

maximum centres.

• Cut the studs to required length.

• Fit the studs in to the tracks.

• Provide and fix bridging members at the location as per table CS-01

• Install ceiling lining board as per manufacturer’s specification.

Lining to Ceiling Frame

Plasterboard Installation

• Cut the plasterboard sheets to size.

• Position the sheet with the recessed edge at right angles to the framing member.

• Press sheet firmly against the adhesive (if it is to be used - see manufacturer’s

specifications) and fasten at the centre line of the sheet on every framing member as

shown in fig 07.

• Use full sheets.

• Saw cut sheets around openings.

• Butt joints must be staggered and not in a straight line across the ceiling.

• All plasterboard installation should be in accordance with AS 2588 & AS 2589 and the

manufacturers’ specifications.



Other Building Board Installation:

All building board installation should be in accordance with the manufacturer’s specification

and recommended installation methods.

Expansion and Control Joints:

Expansion joints as well as control joints must coincide with those structural control joints

provided in the main structure.

Control joints shall be provided in long continuous ceiling at 12 metres maximum spacing.

Refer to Figs 25, 26 and 27 for control joint at perimeter, parallel to furring channel and

perpendicular to furring channel.

Storage and Site Handling:

Where possible all material used in the construction of steel ceiling framing should be

handled in a manner that reduces the risk of damage. All material should be kept in a dry

area so accidental damage cannot occur.

Almost all structures will deflect during service.

Ceiling designers should be aware of the expected deflections of the building structures as

they affect the ceiling.

These deflections may be due to both dead and live loadings.

In fire rated ceiling framing, thermal expansion of steel frames should be expected during

fire service.

Designer should make due allowances for these effects.

The ceiling designer should properly consider framing design and layout around openings in

ceiling systems.

Ceiling spans are determined by various design criteria including: weight of ceiling, wind

loading, deflection limits, material size and required spacing’s.

For span information to satisfy specific design criteria contact Peer Design.

Some examples detailing various component scenarios have been provided to assist in the

choice of the correct product for most building projects.
