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.

Fix the C74 or C47-74 suspension rod brackets as appropriate to the side of the steel purlins or bottom chord of the trusses with two self tapping screws in shear and to concrete with appropriate anchors. Cut all hanging rods (Peer product code C21) to the required length. Assemble adjustable suspension clip for TCR (Peer product code C60) on all these suspension rods. Install all of these rods (Peer product code C21) into the suspension rod brackets C47-74. Attach Top Cross Rails (Peer product code TCR25 or TCR38) to the suspension clips (Peer product code C60). Connect Furring Channels (Peer product code FC18 or FC28) to top cross rails TCR25 or TCR38 with locking keys (Peer product code C39). Check and adjust the ceiling system using a laser or other appropriate levelling device. Install ceiling lining boards as per manufacturers specification

Join top cross rails TCR25 or TCR38 to suit site situation as per detail. Alternatively join furring channel FC18 or FC28 to suit site situation as per detail in Fig 17. Install suspension rod brackets C74 or C47-74, suspension rods C21, top cross rails TCR25 or TCR38 and furring channels FC18 or FC28 as per typical suspended concealed ceiling system. Check and adjust drop ceiling and concealed ceiling system using a laser or other suitable levelling device. Install ceiling lining board as per manufacturers specification

Installation contd
(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 manufacturers specification.

Install FC28 furring channels at a spacing to suit the radius of the curved ceiling with Peer furring channel to top cross rail C39 (locking key) clips Secure the C39 to the TCR with a screw fastener to prevent slipping. Refer to plasterboard specification of curved ceiling for spacing of furring channels. Raked Ceiling Install TCR38 top cross rail in raking position as per ceiling framing plan and in accordance with the above ceiling installation details and appropriate bracing. Install FC28 furring channels at spacing to suit ceiling lining thickness with Peer furring channel to top cross rail C39 (locking key) securing the C39 to the TCR with a screw fastener. Refer to plasterboard specification for spacing of furring channels.

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 manufacturers 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 manufacturers 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.

Design Notes
Span tables are prepared for the use of top cross rails, furring channels, top hats and ceiling battens that are manufactured by Peer Industries Pty Ltd. Tables are based on permissible stress loading calculated as per AS1538 - 1988 Cold Formed Steel Structures Code AS2785 - 1985 Suspended Ceilings Design and Installation Deflection = As specified under tables Yield stress = 300 Mpa Section properties are based on the full section, using the nominal section dimensions notations which are in accordance with AS 1538. Refer to the sectional properties tables for full details of all products All information contained in this brochure is intended as a general guide only for use in ceiling framing construction. For use in any other design and construction or for any special structure, please contact Peer Design by email [email protected] Call one of our customer service centres on 1300 725 675 or visit our web site www.peerindustries.com.au 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 spacings. 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.
