Planning Guidelines

Dividends Horizon
Concealed Post
Concealed posts eliminate visible post covers,
creating a seamless aesthetic at three-way
post connections. Larger widths of fabric or
laminate tile-to-floor tiles are used to hide the
concealed post. Panel top caps, up to 99"
long, span concealed posts, which eliminate
the need for post top caps. Concealed
post applications are specified by individual
components through “Build-to-Spec”.
Planning with Concealed Posts
Concealed posts are to be used in three-way
post conditions where straight post covers want
to be eliminated. The concealed post should
be specified in place of a standard Dividends
Horizon DP7 or Legacy post. Concealed post
fabric or laminate tiles must be specified in
the tile location that is covering the post. (See
illustration below) Concealed post, half post or
centered fabric and laminate tiles are designed
to cover the concealed post with the edge
of the tile ending in the center of the concealed
post. Only concealed post fabric and laminate
tile sizes are compatible with concealed posts.
A high low condition may be created by having
a perpendicular panel at a lower height than
the concealed post. Specify the height of the
concealed post to be at the same height as
the higher panels. A concealed post high low
top cap must be specified in this situation.
Panel top caps that span concealed posts are
not designed for use in high-low concealed
post applications, standard width panel top
caps and a concealed post high low top
cap should be used instead. A DP7 straight
high low post cover should be specified in
a concealed post high low application.
The two panels on the straight side of the threeway
concealed post intersection must always
be the same height. The concealed post is not
designed to change height on the concealed
post side of the three-way connection.
Concealed post panel top caps and frameless
add ups are 3" wider than standard sizes, for
applications wanting to span the concealed
post. Panel top caps are available in lengths
up to 99". Any concealed post application
requiring panel top caps longer than 99” must
specify panel top caps equal to the width
of a panel or combination of panels and a
concealed post same height top cap. Concealed
post fabric and laminate tiles, post top caps,
panel top caps, and frameless add ups are
designed for use with the concealed post only.
Note: Concealed posts and corresponding
components are not compatible with
Dividends Horizon DP7 posts, Legacy
posts, standard post top caps, or
standard fabric or laminate tile sizes.
