Instructions for installing 2-level Nano plastic ceilings

Nano panels weigh 2 - 7,5 kg/bar. When installing 2-level ceiling panels, they need to be installed on a frame system and the distance between the bars is ≤50 cm. The Nano ceiling frame system can be made from galvanized steel bars, plastic beams, wooden bars or aluminum plaster bars.

Step 1: Prepare materials and tools for constructing Nano ceiling

Supplies

You need to prepare the following 8 materials to install a ceiling with Nano panels:

1. Skeleton bars (galvanized steel bars, plastic beams, wooden bars or aluminum plaster U-shaped bars)
2. Nano panels (KNANO9, KOP105, K9, G1, G9)
3. Accessories (ceiling moldings, recessed corner strips)
4. Iron rod
5. Stainless steel screws
6. Copper nail
7. Stainless steel kettle
8. Kosmos interior glue or multipurpose glue.

*Note about stainless steel shelf: The bracket is made of 304 stainless steel with 1 notch to fit into the Nano panel's recess and 1 round hole to shoot stainless steel screws to fix the bracket to the frame.

Tool

8 tools needed to prepare for 2-level Nano ceiling construction include:

1. Angle cutter, drill, welding machine, laser machine
2. Tape measure, angle ruler
3. Folding ladder
4. Nail gun.

Step 2: Construction of Nano plastic ceiling frame

The construction process of Nano plastic ceiling frame includes the following 2 steps:

1. Use threaded rods to limit the ceiling: Use laser to determine drilling position, drill holes are ≤ 50cm apart.
2. Welding galvanized or stainless steel bars onto threaded rods: Ensure the distance between the bars is ≤ 50cm. At the same time, clearly divide the 2 levels of the skeleton.
3. Level 1: High ceiling cladding
   
4. Level 2: Low ceiling cladding.
   

Drill holes in the ceiling

Use threaded rods to limit ceiling

Weld galvanized or stainless steel bars onto threaded rods to form a level 1 ceiling frame.

Weld galvanized or stainless steel bars onto threaded rods to form a level 2 ceiling frame.

Step 3: Install Nano panels on the frame for the upper ceiling system (Level 1)

8 steps to install Nano panels on level 1 frame:

1. Apply Kosmos interior glue or Kosmos multipurpose glue into the frame before installing the panel.

2. Install the Nano panel's groove inward right at the glue application area.

3. Attach the specialized bracket to the recessed groove, fix it to the frame with stainless steel screws (distance between screw holes equals distance between frames ≤50cm).

4. Apply Kosmos interior glue or Kosmos multi-purpose glue to the frame before installing the second panel.

5. Install the male groove of the second panel into the screwed negative groove of the first panel.

6. Attach the bracket to the recessed groove of the second panel and secure it with stainless steel screws to the crossbar right at the bracket hole.

7. Repeat steps 4,5,6 above for each panel and stop at the last panel.

8. Measure and cut off the excess part of the last Nano panel from the frame. Then, install the male groove into the negative groove of the previous panel. Drill a pilot hole and screw the last Nano panel to the frame.

Measure and cut off the excess of the last Nano panel from the skeleton

Apply Kosmos interior glue or Kosmos multipurpose glue to the frame

Step 4: Cover the gap between the 1st and 2nd level ceilings

Measure and cut the Nano panel with the same color as the Nano panel level 1 to fit the gap, apply glue to the frame, use stainless steel screws to fix the panel to the frame.

Measure and cut Nano panels of the same color as level 1 to fit the gap distance.

Apply Kosmos interior glue or Kosmos multipurpose glue to the frame

Use stainless steel screws to fix the panel to the frame.

Repeat the same with the remaining 3 edges.

Step 5: Install Nano panels on the lower ceiling frame (Level 2)

When installing Nano panels on the lower ceiling frame, it is important to note that the panels should not be installed parallel to the frame. The Nano panels should be cut into sections of appropriate size to the ceiling level, then installed with the locking grooves perpendicular to the frame.

7 steps to install Nano panels on the ceiling frame above:

1. Measure and cut the first two Nano panels precisely to form a right angle at the corner of the wall. Choose a corner that is easy to work with and has little obstruction to the view.

Measure and cut the first two Nano panels precisely to form a right angle at the corner of the wall.

Bond the Nano panels together with Kosmos interior glue or multi-purpose glue

Note: The Nano reinforcement pieces must be glued to the back of the panel at the location IS NOT coincide with the skeleton.

2. Apply Kosmos interior glue or Kosmos multi-purpose glue to the frame before installing the panel.

3. Attach the specialized bracket to the recessed groove, fix it to the frame with stainless steel screws (distance between screw holes equals distance between frames ≤50cm).

4. Apply Kosmos interior glue or Kosmos multi-purpose glue to the frame before installing the next panel.

5. Install the male groove of the next panel into the screwed male groove of the previous panel.

6. Attach the bracket to the recessed groove of the panel and fix it with stainless steel screws onto the crossbar right at the bracket hole.

7. Repeat steps 5, 6, and 7 above for each panel until the ceiling is full.

Repeat the same steps above for the last panel.

Measure and cut off the excess of the last Nano panel from the skeleton

Step 5: Complete the construction of Nano ceiling panels with accessories

Cover the edges of the end panels and the drop-down areas with a coffered ceiling or recessed corner moulding. Please note that at right angles the fittings need to be cut at a 45° angle.

At the stepped position

To cover the exposed edges of the panel at the step position, the ceiling molding is a suitable choice and contributes to creating a soft curve for the ceiling.

Step 1: Apply Kosmos interior glue to the Nano panel cross-section

Step 2: Fix the ceiling molding with copper nails

At right angle position, the accessory needs to be cut at a 45° angle.

Do the same with the remaining edges.

At the junction between the ceiling and the wall

Ceiling moldings and recessed corner moldings are specially designed to handle and decorate the transition area between ceiling and wall. These accessories will help cover gaps and cracks, while softening right angles, creating a sense of seamless and more luxurious space.

Step 1: Apply Kosmos interior glue to the installation position of the negative corner molding

Step 2: Fix the negative corner molding with copper nails

At right angle position, the accessory needs to be cut at a 45° angle.

Do the same with the remaining edges.

Nano panels can be used not only for ceiling cladding but also for flat ceiling construction, decorative wall panels.
