<strong>Rigitone</strong> <strong>Fix</strong><strong>Adhesive</strong> <strong>Set</strong>NEWQuick and secure jointing of perforated boards
<strong>Rigitone</strong> perforated boards and jointing techniques<strong>Rigitone</strong> perforated boards represent a wide range of highquality,acoustically effective perforated boards made ofgypsum – an environmentally friendly raw material. Thecontinuous perforation and jointless installation of <strong>Rigitone</strong>perforated boards make them real eye-catchers, giving roomsa unique character while providing optimum acoustics.Two proven techniques, which both ensure a flawless appearanceand long-lasting results, can be used to install <strong>Rigitone</strong>perforated boards:• <strong>Rigitone</strong> <strong>Fix</strong> Joint Filling TechniqueThe specially developed <strong>Rigitone</strong> <strong>Fix</strong> Joint Filling <strong>Set</strong> enablesquick and secure installation.• <strong>Rigitone</strong> <strong>Fix</strong> <strong>Adhesive</strong> Joint TechniqueThe main advantages of the <strong>Adhesive</strong> Joint Technique arethe very high joint strength and resistance to cracking. Withour newly developed <strong>Rigitone</strong> <strong>Fix</strong> <strong>Adhesive</strong> <strong>Set</strong> installationis now even quicker and thus more cost-effective.3

≤ 250 mm<strong>Rigitone</strong> installation instructionsx900 mm≤ 100 mm≤ 500 mmSub-structurel≤ 335 mmy1,000 mmMount and align the sub-structure comprising base andsupporting profiles (CD profiles) so that the <strong>Rigitone</strong> boardscan be fastened at right angles to the supporting profiles. Asupporting profile should always be located at the transversejoints of the boards.Fastening<strong>Rigitone</strong> SN 3.5 x 30 mm perforated panel screws should beattached at intervals ≤ 170 mm; always fasten the ends of the<strong>Rigitone</strong> boards first, then the long edges.6
Board mountingMount the first board in thecentre of the room. Use analignment line or preferablya fixed edge guide to ensurethe board is properly alignedbefore screwing it into place.Work outwards from thecentre of the room in a starpattern when mounting subsequentboards, making surethat they are all laid in thesame direction (see markingson the ends and lettering onthe long edges of the boards).Expansion joints should beadded at approx. 10 metreintervals.Installation tips• To compensate for construction tolerances, a non-perforatedplasterboard strip (plain border) should be fitted around theperimeter. If a <strong>Rigips</strong> perforated board ceiling is to be fittedflush to a <strong>Rigips</strong> wall, structural separation of the twopanelling levels is recommended, e.g. through addition of ashadow gap.• Expansion joints should be added at approx. 10 m intervals.• <strong>Set</strong>tlement joints in the shell must be continued in thestructure of the suspended ceiling.7
<strong>Rigitone</strong> installation instructionsInstallationUse a hand grinder or sandpaperto sand off/bevel theboard edges slightly.1 mm45°1 mmUse the new <strong>Rigitone</strong> <strong>Fix</strong><strong>Adhesive</strong> <strong>Set</strong> to bond the<strong>Rigitone</strong> perforated boardjoints. Insert the <strong>Rigitone</strong>Joint <strong>Adhesive</strong> bag into the<strong>Rigitone</strong> <strong>Fix</strong> <strong>Adhesive</strong> Pistol.The <strong>Rigitone</strong> <strong>Fix</strong> <strong>Adhesive</strong>Nozzle enables optimumapplication of the <strong>Rigitone</strong>Joint <strong>Adhesive</strong> to the edgesof the board as its specialshape ensures the adhesiveis applied evenly.8
<strong>Rigips</strong> noteThe special <strong>Rigitone</strong> <strong>Fix</strong> <strong>Adhesive</strong> Adapter will pierce the topend of the bag once sufficient pressure has been built up viathe trigger of the pistol. This eliminates the need to cut the bagopen manually.Apply the <strong>Rigitone</strong> Joint<strong>Adhesive</strong> to the wetted boardedges. The edges of theboards which have alreadybeen installed must also bewetted.The boards should be buttjoined, ensuring that theperforation pattern is alignedhorizontally and diagonally.This creates a strong joint0.5 - 1 mm wide.Installation tips<strong>Rigitone</strong> Joint <strong>Adhesive</strong> can also easily be applied to the edge ofa board which has already been installed. These edges must alsobe wetted beforehand.9
<strong>Rigitone</strong> installation instructionsFinishing the <strong>Rigitone</strong> joints30min.Once the <strong>Rigitone</strong> Joint<strong>Adhesive</strong> has begun to harden(approx. 30 minutes), removeany excess carefully with ascraper. Allow a drying timeof approx. 4 hours beforefinishing.To finish the joints, apply the<strong>Rigitone</strong> Finishing Compoundusing the <strong>Rigitone</strong> <strong>Adhesive</strong>Pistol fitted with a standardround nozzle.The bevelling of the boardedges during preparation nowallows optimum applicationof the <strong>Rigitone</strong> FinishingCompound in the joint area.Then smooth off the jointsusing the <strong>Rigitone</strong> <strong>Fix</strong> Scraper,leaving approx. 1 mm of thematerial.10
Once the <strong>Rigitone</strong> FinishingCompound is fully dry(approx. 24 hours), the jointscan be sanded and the ceilingprepared for the final coating.11
