Ceiling - reinforcement

In cases where the ceiling construction consists of wooden rafters, it is necessary to install a reinforcement between the rafters in order to be able to install the ceiling bracket.

For reinforcement use timber 4"x4" - 95x95 mm, with appropriate fittings of the type BMF 3224 - 100x90 mm.

It is important to fasten the fittings with nails in the marked holes only, as illustrated, or else the timber may split.

Lower edge of reinforcement shall be level with lower edge of rafters.

Shutter boards must be mounted direct under the reinforcement.

When mounting the Guldmann ceiling brackets in wood, it is important first to drill a hole with a 4 mm drilling machine before fastening the bracket with screws.
