Unless a specific benchmark is given in each room by the construction engineer, install the ceiling at the high point of the floor in each room.
AORCS Atlas Ceiling System IOM I N S TA L L AT I O N & O P E R AT I O N M A N U A L Trim the tees as necessary to ensure a tight fit and seal to the ceiling components connected to each other. A fine tooth carbide tip miter saw is recommended for cutting ceiling tees. Proper Personal Protection Equipment (PPE) is required for cutting and installing the ceiling components. A full face shield, ear protection and proper gloves should be worn for this procedure.

This will serve to keep the ceiling system square during installation. Determine which walls will be the starting point for the string lines. • For wall to wall installations this will also give the ceiling border blank-off panels their permanent size.

Use a laser or leveling device to adjust the hangers to the laser and wrap the support wires using no less than three full wraps within a 3 inch length on main tee to wire connection. Local kinks or bends are not an acceptable means for leveling the grid.
