Mounting Systems

Ceiling Fixed Systems

The following considerations are highlighted:

• ⇨ Potential Materials: Timber, concrete/ribbed deck.
• ⇨Access to Timbers: Check accessibility either from above or below. If floorboarded, inspect the joists thoroughly.
• ⇨ Structural Integrity: Examine for woodworm and/or rot.
• ⇨ Obstacle Identification: Identify any obstacles on the ceiling, noting their type and location.

Wall Fixed Systems

Take into account the following considerations:

• ⇨ Materials: Plasterboard, masonry, timber, stone, breeze block (except for stud walls that cannot support brackets).
• ⇨ Specific Material Guidelines:
  • – Masonry: Locate brickwork and avoid Thermalite if dot and dabbed over. Identify single skin brickwork.
  • – Timber: Use 36mm of ply in addition to the front face.
  • – Stone: Ensure fixings are on a flat surface.
  • – Breeze Block: Find brickwork, avoiding Thermalite if dot and dabbed over. Always identify single skin brickwork.
• ⇨ Fixing Process: Use a device to identify timber joists. Always utilize three fixings. The wall span determines beam requirements. Chemical resin is utilized for fixing into concrete and masonry.
• ⇨ Obstacle Identification: Identify any obstacles on the wall, specifying their type and location.

Floor Posts Systems

The following factors need consideration:

• ⇨ Materials: Timber, concrete.
• ⇨ Environmental Review: Assess the installation environment, considering factors such as underfloor heating, radiators, control boxes, heating valves, water pipes, sloping floors, and built-in furniture.
