Manual and important points of attention for the Staenis grid:
Non load-bearing dry fillers, finished with OSB or Durelis boards
Placement method
-
Pre-placed:
- Place all Staenis grids in the space
- Adjust all Staenis grids to the correct height
- Glue the Staenis legs with PU foam
- Fill in the Staenis grid legs with a cement or lime mortar
- Check the height of the grid
- Place a double staggered OSB or Durelis sheets on the grid and screw then in place
- Repeat until the entire room is finished
Placement of the Staenis grid
- Place the grids by means of clicking together 8 slats and 13 legs per m². So place an extra leg on each slat sideways, so that the grid has 800 kg extra bearing capacity per m², without any filler. The bearing capacity is further increased by filling the tops of the legs with a cement or lime mortar.
- Shorten the battens on the wall by sawing or grinding them. The maximum distance from the grid to the wall is 5 cm.
- When connecting to the wall, you can click the legs sideways into the slat to stabilise the grid. A 3rd type of click connection can be seen on both ends of the slat. This allows you to connect two slats with a side leg, by means of a slat. Note that the bar will only click in one direction.
- Use a screwdriver to adjust the Staenis grid up and down by turning the adjusting screw to the left or right.
Height adjustment
You can achieve the greatest flatness with a laser that corresponds to a line on a wooden tool / lath or folding rule. If you use a digital receiver, the dry fillers will cause height differences of a few mm. A digital spirit level is also not recommended. Try to use a digital receiver or spirit level only to set out a number of points, in order to adjust everything in between by means of a vertical adjustment, tensioned rope or aluminium rule.
Accuracy
We ask you to pay close attention to the height adjustment during installation and to regularly check the flatness with a long aluminium rule or laser.
Double sheeting when used without fillers
Always attach a double, staggered sheeting of OSB or Durelis sheets to the Staenis grid without fillers. Screw the first sheeting of 12 mm thickness into the slats of the Staenis grid (1 screw per 60 length, in rows of 50 cm). Screw the second sheeting of 18 mm thickness into the first sheet. The screws must be 2 cm longer than the thickness of the wooden sheet and may have a diameter of 3.5/4/4.5 mm.
