Requirements and
Good Design
Practices
Installation DONN® Brand
Exposed Grid

Suspended ceilings are finished products intended for interior use and should be treated accordingly.

Delivery, Storage and - All materials shall be delivered in their original, unopened packages and stored for as short a time as possible, in
Handling an enclosed shelter providing protection from exposure to the elements and damage by/to other trades. Damaged,
deteriorated or obviously faulty material is not to be installed and shall be removed from the premises.
- Materials should be handled in such a manner as to prevent racking distortion or physical damage.

Installation - Ceiling layout should be planned prior to installation to determine grid configuration, direction etc. and to ensure that all
fixing points are compatible with structural members and/or other services.
- Installation of exposed grid shall not begin until the building is closed in, fully glazed, roof watertight and residual
moisture from wet trades such as plaster, concrete and terrazzo has dissipated.
- Mechanical and electrical ductwork above the suspension system shall be completed before installation of the suspension
system.

Seismic Bracing Requirements Consult the USG Seismic Design Guide.

Main Tee - For standard installations Main Tees are spaced at 1200mm centres.
- Where heavy ceiling panels are used, close Main Tees in to 600mm centres. Refer Loadings pages 12-15
- Main Tee integral splices are to be offset from each other across the ceiling. Where this cannot be avoided, aligned
splices shall be mechanically fastened with a pop-rivet, tek screw or similar.

Cross Tee - Cross Tees interlock with opposing Cross Tees through the Main Tee web slots to form the required module.

QRC tab - A positive “click” is heard when the DONN QRC tab correctly engages.
- The Cross Tee being installed should be inserted on the left side of the already
Butt Cut Lay-on
Cross
installed Cross Tee.
Cross
Tee Tee - Slots are punched along the Main Tee for convenience at 100mm centres for
DONN Main Tee / Cross Tee Engagement metric systems and 6” for imperial systems.
- Main and Cross Tees can be arranged in a variety of module configurations - see Loadings pages 12-15 for standard
common layouts.
Suspension - Main Tee hangers are spaced at 1200mm centres, no more than 600mm from the perimeter Wall Trim or 150mm
from the Main Tee splice or 200mm from the Main Tee / Cross Tee joint. For heavier ceilings closer spacings may be
required and/or hangers provided through the Cross Tee. Wider spacing may be allowable - see Loadings pages 12-15
or contact your USG Ceiling Specialist.
- For Cross Tees not directly attached to walls and where building movement may be anticipated and there is a risk of
them losing support, provide extra hangers or suitable restraint to the Cross Tees. (eg ACM7 Seismic Clip)
- Where ceilings are back-braced for seismic restraint, do not attach grid to walls. Provide one hanger within 200mm of
the end of every Main Tee and Cross Tee, or suitable support to allow for movement. (eg ACM7)

Suspension methods include:

Multi
- 2.5mm diameter straightened galvanised wire located through the
DONN
Wall Angle hold down pre punched convenience holes in the Main Tee bulb or web and
clip secured with three tight 360° turns.
2.5mm Galvanised
- 2.5mm wire or 5mm galvanised rod with the DONN CL315
Steel Wire suspension clip over the bulb.
(5mm Rod Optional)
DONN DONN - 5mm rod with the CL2424 clip through prepunched hole in the web
Main Tee CrossTee or bulb of DONN Centricitee or DONN DX grid.

Panel
the greater of 50kg or ultimate load from AS/NZS 2785.
- DONN Direct Fixing Clips between bulb holes only (no less than 10mm).
- Hangers are not to be bent or kinked as a means of levelling the grid or for any other reason.
- Hangers or bracing are not to be fixed to, or closer than 150mm to plenum building services e.g. ducting, sprinkler
pipes.
- Fixing of the hanger to the structure above with proprietary fasteners shall be installed in accordance with their
manufacturers recommendations, be suitable for the structure material and comply with any required Standards. Such
fasteners shall have a design ultimate strength the greater of 50kg (0.5kN) minimum, or load requirements of AS/NZS
2785 Clause 3.2.2 (c).)
- Hangers using the CL315 clip shall not vary from the vertical by more than 5°.
- Where hangers are splayed up to a maximum of 45° to the vertical, they should always have an equally applied hanger
in the opposite direction.
- Suspension method and position may be dependant on load requirements. See Step 3 tables pages 13 and 15.

Wall Perimeter A variety of different Wall Angle profiles are available to suit the Donn Brand systems and designer’s requirements. See
Wall Angles page 6 for details.
- Typically fix trim to walls or bulkheads up to 600mm centres maximum.

Panel Hold Down Clips Clips may be required for seismic restraint, fire ratings or wind uplift on ceiling panels.
- Typically install 2 Hold Down Clips (steel or other) per parallel tee (Cross or Main). This will give four points per panel
restraint.
- Where frequent access in to the plenum is anticipated, some clips can have one side removed to allow clipping one
side of the tee but access on the other.
- Ensure clips are of a type suitable for DONN DX or DONN Centricitee and for the thickness of acoustical panel being
clipped.
Plenum Depths Minimum plenum depths for the ease of removal of
- 600 x 600mm panels = 150mm
- 1200 x 600mm panels = 200mm
Where lesser plenum depth is required, particularly under non-continuous structure or services, like joists/purlins or
ducts, side loading of ceiling panels can further reduce the depth in these areas to 70mm (subject to panel thickness).
Cutting DONN Grid and Wall Angle systems are easily cut on site with aviation snips or fine toothed band or hack saws.

Ceiling Acoustics Acoustical absorption and sound transmission can be controlled to desired levels with the appropriate selection from
the extensive range of USG acoustical ceiling panels. See page 22 for an overview selection. Consult your USG Ceiling
Specialist for advice on a total acoustical ceiling system.

Fire Rating Main, Cross Tees and perimeter trims are non-combustible (BS476 Part 4).
DONN DXL grid system and appropriate USG Firecode acoustical ceiling panel provide floor/ceilings, roof/ceilings
assembly Fire Ratings up to 1 hour. Refer to USG Fire Rated Grid brochure for full details.
Please consult USG Interiors for regional compliance and availability.

Lighting/Air Handling Most standard luminaires, louvres, grills and linear diffusers integrate with the standard module configurations. Refer
Lighting Installation pages 16-17 for specific details.

Thermal Properties DONN suspension systems are unaffected by thermal movement between ambient temperature variations of 10˚ to 30˚C.

Health and Safety The material composition represents no health hazard. When handling, take care and ensure that safe work practices are
adhered to at all times. Some products may have surface treatments and sharp edges/ends. All reasonable care should
be taken when handling or installing to avoid any potential injury to self or others. Users should be properly trained and
supervised in the use and handling of these materials. Appropriate personal protective equipment should be used when
necessary eg: gloves/glasses etc. to avoid any potential injuries.

Maintenance - Cleaning - Remove ceiling panels, then perform necessary cleaning of the grid with non-solvent based commercial
cleaner.
- Painting - Repainting of grid system members should be with a high quality solvent based paint for use over metal
surfaces and applied as recommended by the paint manufacturer.
- Paint colour - Powder coating: Ameron Coatings - Product Code PE522 polyester matt
Colour Code 9249AN ANOGRAIN Pacific White
- Wet spray Ameron Coatings - Product Code 640 Amercryl (acrylic lacquer)
Colour Code 100322 Pacific White NZ

Materials Main and Cross Tees are a double web design, roll formed from hot dipped galvanised steel with prepainted galvanised
steel cap. Cross Tees have a DONN QRC high tensile steel tab clinched to each end, zinc chromate finish.

Partitions A partitions mass may impact on the installation requirements of a suspended ceiling due to seismic movement.
Partitions should not be rigidly fixed to the suspended ceiling where possible, but can be fixed with provision for seismic
or other building movement. The Revoe Clip accessory can be used for this. Refer to the USG Seismic Design Guide for
full details.

DONN DX
24mm Loadings -
Maximum Allowable
To determine which is the most appropriate and cost effective grid combination compliant with AS/NZS 2785:2000
Suspended Ceilings - Design and Installation, use the following calculations.

Step 1
Maximum Load Calculations G= Grid Weight + Panel Weight + Lights/Fixtures/Insulation etc Weight
Ultimate Limit State
G= + + = kg/m2
1.1 Factored Dead Load
A A = x 1.4 Therefore Maximum Load A = kg/m2

1.2 Factored Dead Load From 1.1 above A kg/m2


A plus +
Factored Service Load U* x1.7 = B kg/m2 Therefore Maximum Load A + B = kg/m2
If required under
B * Where U is 3.0 kg/m2 minimum unless specified otherwise
AS/NZS 2785:2000 Clause 3.2.2(b)

Notes: 1. Load calculations 1.1 and 1.2 are based on AS/NZS 2785:2000 Clause 3.3.5(a). Load calculation 1.2 is based on a
minimum Service Load of 3.0 kg/m² as required by the Standard. The contractor is to confirm that this load will not be
exceeded, or alter the calculation accordingly. If Service Load U is NOT a requirement, use calculation 1.1 values only.
2. These tables apply to areas of buildings that have no openings to the outside, such as doors, windows, ducts etc. In all
other cases the appropriate design loading must be determined by the project structural engineer in accordance with
AS/NZS 2785:2000 Clauses 3.3.5(b) or (c).
3. Standard testing and installation for suspension is at 1200mm centres. Wider centres may be allowable - refer to respective
grid combination tables. Hangers must be within 200mm maximum of Main Tee / Cross Tee connection.
4. Heavy lighting or other mechanical services shall be supported on the main tees, included in the dead load 1.1 above,
able to be supported by the selected grid combination, and/or should be independently supported if greater than 10kg
(NZS4219).
5. All point loads shall be fixed under suspension point on Main Tees only and hanger capacity should be checked against
Step 3.
6. Loadings are laboratory tested in accordance with AS/NZS 2785 with a deflection limit of L/360. Maximum allowable
system loads take into account continuous spans and are applicable for ceilings 2.4 metres or longer. For ceilings shorter
than 2.4 metres use a minimum of two hangers
7. Seismic considerations for in-plane loads may take precedence in determining the required grid combination (refer to the
USG Seismic Design Guide)
8. Not all products may be available in all areas.
9. For non-standard modules eg. 750 x 750mm etc. contact USG for availability and lead times prior to specification.

Step 2 From the grid diagrams below and opposite, select a ceiling layout and hanger spacing where the :
Maximum Load (from Step 1, above) is less than or equal to the Maximum Allowable Load from the Tables.
Alternative Grid Layouts
This will guide you as to the minimum grid combinations to use to fully comply.

Maximum Allowable
To determine which is the most appropriate and cost effective grid combination compliant with AS/NZS 2785:2000
Suspended Ceilings - Design and Installation, use the following calculations.

Step 1
Maximum Load Calculations G= Grid Weight + Panel Weight + Lights/Fixtures/Insulation etc Weight
Ultimate Limit State
G= + + = kg/m2
1.1 Factored Dead Load
A A = x 1.4 Therefore Maximum Load A = kg/m2

1.2 Factored Dead Load From 1.1 above A kg/m2


A plus +
Factored Service Load U* x1.7 = B kg/m2 Therefore Maximum Load A + B = kg/m2
If required under
B * Where U is 3.0 kg/m2 minimum unless specified otherwise
AS/NZS 2785:2000 Clause 3.2.2(b)

Notes: 1. Load calculations 1.1 and 1.2 are based on AS/NZS 2785:2000 Clause 3.3.5(a). Load calculation 1.2 is based on a
minimum Service Load of 3.0 kg/m² as required by the Standard. The contractor is to confirm that this load will not be
exceeded, or alter the calculation accordingly. If Service Load U is NOT a requirement, use calculation 1.1 values only.

2. These tables apply to areas of buildings that have no openings to the outside, such as doors, windows, ducts etc. In all
other cases the appropriate design loading must be determined by the project structural engineer in accordance with
AS/NZS 2785:2000 Clauses 3.3.5(b) or (c).

3. Standard testing and installation for suspension is at 1200mm centres. Wider centres may be allowable - refer to
respective grid combination tables. Hangers must be within 200mm maximum of Main Tee / Cross Tee connection.

4. Heavy lighting or other mechanical services shall be supported on the main tees, included in the dead load 1.1 above,
able to be supported by the selected grid combination, and/or should be independently supported if greater than 10kg
(NZS4219).

5. All point loads shall be fixed under suspension point on Main Tees only and hanger capacity should be checked against
Step 3.

6. Loadings are laboratory tested in accordance with AS/NZS 2785 with a deflection limit of L/360. Maximum allowable
system loads take into account continuous spans and are applicable for ceilings 2.4 metres or longer. For ceilings shorter
than 2.4 metres use a minimum of two hangers

7. Seismic considerations for in-plane loads may take precedence in determining the required grid combination (refer to the
USG Seismic Design Guide)

8. Not all products may be available in all areas.

9. For non-standard modules eg. 750 x 750mm etc. contact USG for availability and lead times prior to specification.

Step 2 From the grid diagrams below and opposite, select a ceiling layout and hanger spacing where the :
Maximum Load (from Step 1, above) is less than or equal to the Maximum Allowable Load from the Tables.
Alternative Grid Layouts
This will guide you as to the minimum grid combinations to use to fully comply.

Lighting Installation
As worldwide leaders in acoustical ceiling systems, USG Interiors works with the major lighting manufacturers to ensure system
compatibility is maintained. The following guidelines are designed to assist in the correct specification and installation of light
fittings in USG’s DONN Brand Exposed Grid and acoustical ceiling systems.

Luminaire Positioning Typical recessed pan fitting arrangements are shown below. Main Tees at 1200mm centres are shown horizontal, with
suspension at 1200mm centres.

• Indicates Suspension Points


Refer to Loadings (pages 12-15) for maximum allowable gross ceiling loads depending on type of luminaire and DONN grid
selected.
Where luminaire weight exceeds uniform load maximums consider:
a) A higher specification DONN Brand grid option if applicable (Refer to Loadings pages to ensure compliance).
b) Independent support from structure.
c) Additional suspension points as shown below, or similar.

Attachment of Light Fittings Fluorescent Recessed Pans / Troffer Packs

Fittings occupying a full ceiling module e.g 1200 x 600 / 600 x 600 etc. locate on the bulb of the tee or sit inside the tee and rest
on the flange. With either method a positive fixing to the grid is recommended for safety reasons. This is required by the NZ
Standard NZS 4219 (see over). For Australia ref. AS2946 for interface compatibility.

Fluorescent Surface Fittings / Battens


Surface mounted luminaires require a minimum of two fasteners to attach to the grid. Wherever possible, attach to the main
tee. Where this is not possible and cross tees have to be used, keep fasteners as close as possible to main tee intersection for
greatest strength. Proprietry fasteners are availbale that snap on to DONN DX 24mm grid profiles.
Where a fitting’s weight exceeds maximum allowable loads for a particular grid type, any of the following methods may be used:
- use a proprietary fastener that fully surrounds the grid and is independently supported from the structure above.
- provide additional suspension points to the grid directly above the fixing point, ensuring each suspension is in
compliance with AS/NZS 2785 Clause 3.2.2 (c) (50kg minimum).

New Zealand - NZS 4219 - 2009 Specification for Seismic Resistance of Engineering Systems in Buildings. This standard
covers building services in close proximity, attached to, or passing through suspended ceilings. Relevant clauses pertaining to
lighting are paraphrased below:
2.24 Electrical reticulation shall be independently supported, or allowance shall be made for relative building or ceiling
movement.
2.25.2 All luminaires shall be positively clamped or fixed to the ceiling grid system.
2.25.3 All luminaires weighing greater than 10kg shall have two supports from the structure above. Each support shall be
capable of supporting the full luminaire’s weight.
2.25.4 Surface mounted luminaires shall be fixed to the ceiling grid with at least two fixtures that completely surround the tee.
2.29.1 All ceiling suspended services including luminaires not exceeding 10kg in weight, shall be positively secured to the
ceiling grid, or to the structure above, but not supported by the ceiling panels or tiles. Separate equipment supports
are not necessary if the equipment is adequately fastened to the grid, and the grid has been specifically designed to
withstand both the gravity and seismic loading from the equipment.

Grid Systems -Fire Rating
-Seismic Installation
Fire Rating - USG USG acoustical ceiling systems can provide a FRR/FRL (Fire Resistant Rating) up to 60/60/60 as well
Acoustical Ceiling System as the benefits of acoustical control while still allowing easy plenum access to services, particularly
24mm Eposed Grid compared to plasterboard options.

A fire rated ceiling helps prevent fire and/or heat from reaching a floor or roof above a room that is on
fire. This allows time for evacuation of the floors above and protects against property damage. A fire
rated ceiling system is part of a total fire rated assembly, which includes approved beams, joists and
floor or roof assemblies.
• BRANZ Tested to AS1530.4 Fire Resistant Tests of Elements of Building Construction
• Exclusive expansion notch formed into the main tee is designed for controlled collapse in the event
of a fire, ensuring integrity of the ceiling plane
• Heavy weight tees resist buckling, longer
• Visually identical to USG DONN Brand 24mm exposed grid where the same image is required in
non-fire rated areas
• High density USG Firecode ceiling panels provide choices of size, appearance and acoustical
properties to suit a range of applications
• Plus all the fast easy installation features of standard DONN DX exposed grid systems
