Manual and important points of attention for the Staenis grid:
Non-load-bearing dry fill materials, finished with OSB or Durelis boards
Installation method
-
Pre-positioned:
- Place all Staenis grids in the room
- Adjust all Staenis grids to the correct height
- Glue the Staenis pots with PU foam
- Fill the Staenis grid legs with a cement or lime mortar
- Check the height of the grid
- Place a double, staggered layer of OSB or Durelis boards on the grid and screw them down.
- Repeat until the entire space is finished
Placement of Staenis grid
- Place the grids by clicking together 8 slats and 13 legs per m². Place an extra leg sideways on each slat, giving the grid an additional load-bearing capacity of 800kg per m², without any filler. The load-bearing capacity is further increased by filling the tops of the legs with a cement or lime mortar.
- Shorten the slats at the wall by sawing or grinding them. The maximum distance from the grid to the wall is 5 cm.
- At the connection to the wall, you can stabilize the grid by clicking legs sideways into the slat. At both ends of the slat, a third type of click connection can be seen. This allows you to connect two slats with a sideways leg to each other using a slat. Note that the slat then only clicks in one direction.
- Raise or lower the Staenis grid with a screwdriver by turning the adjustment screw to the left or right.
Height adjustment
The highest flatness can be achieved with a laser that you align with a line on a wooden tool/lat or folding ruler. Once you use a digital receiver, the dry fillers will inevitably cause height differences of a few millimeters. A digital water level hose is also not recommended. Try to use a digital receiver or water level hose only to mark out a few points, so that you can level everything in between using a stretched string or aluminum straightedge.
Accuracy
We ask you to pay close attention to the height adjustment during installation and to regularly check the flatness with a long aluminum straightedge or laser.
Double boarding for use without fillers
Always fix a double, staggered board layer of OSB or Durelis boards onto the Staenis grid without fillers. Screw the first 12 mm layer into the slats of the Staenis grid (1 screw every 60 cm, in rows of 50 cm). Screw the second 18 mm layer into the first board. The screws must be 2 cm longer than the thickness of the wooden board and may have a diameter of 3.5/4/4.5 mm.
