Limitations
Wall Flatness As detailed, the wall should be flat, within about 1/2; any out-of-flat condition will be noticeable along
the bottom edge of perimeter trim. With shimming and framing, the wall could be almost any condition,
so long as the perimeter appearance can be made subjectively acceptable.
Wall Applications The systems described here are for wall applications only. CELEBRATION and GEOMETRIX panels should
not be installed as a ceiling using wall-mount hardware. Ceiling applications require an approved D
ONN
®
brand suspension system.
Interior Use Only Wall-mounted system desinged for interior applications only.
Impact Protection Because CELEBRATION and GEOMETRIX panels were designed for ceiling applications and not to withstand impacts
from foot traffic, rolling carts and other incidental contact, USG strongly recommends that panels be installed
above or away from floor activity.
