What is the purpose of the 1/4″ – 5/16″ of play between the top track and bottom runner of CeilingLink?
The play between the top track and bottom runner of CeilingLink is used to level the bottom runner when the installation of the top track is not level. It is rare for joists or furring to be perfectly level, and this EXCLUSIVE feature of CeilingLink means that no shimming of the top track is necessary (up to 5/16″ off-level) to achieve a level installation of ceiling panels. What is the total thickness of a CeilingLink installation, including ceiling panels? It’s 1″ from the top of the top track to the bottom of the fully extended bottom runner. Compare this to the 4″ – 12″ necessary for a suspended ceiling system. What can be done about pipes and ducts that are below the joists? In many cases, furring (1x2s or 2x2s) can be installed to put the mounting point for CeilingLink below pipes and conduit, and ductwork can be covered with soffits. In some cases, pipes can be raised a little or relocated in order to free up a larger area of joists that can be directly attached to. The drawing
The play between the top track and bottom runner of CeilingLink is used to self-level the bottom runner when the installation of the top track is not level. It is rare for joists or furring to be perfectly level, and this EXCLUSIVE feature of CeilingLink means that no shimming of the top track is necessary (up to 5/16″ off-level) to achieve a level installation of ceiling panels. What is the total thickness of a CeilingLink installation, including ceiling panels? It’s 1″ from the top of the top track to the bottom of the fully extended bottom runner. Compare this to the 4″ – 12″ necessary for a suspended ceiling system. What are the actual widths of CeilingLink, L-Channel, and C-Channel? CeilingLink and L-Channel are 15/16″ in actual width, the same as most standard suspended grid. C-Channel is 15/16″ on the bottom, 17/16″ on the vertical side, and 1 5/32″ on the top horizontal side. What can be done about pipes and ducts that are below the joists? In many cases, furring (1x2s or 2x2s)
