GIK Acoustics Panel Ceiling Mount

Panel Model: GIK Acoustics 242, 24" x 48" panel (62 cm x 122 cm)
Weight: 8 lbs (3.62 kg)

These brackets will allow you to mount your GIK Acoustics panel (or any similarly framed panel) to the ceiling. They will be mounted with a gap of exactly 4" from the back of the panel to the ceiling.

Instructions:

1. Mount each printed bracket to the panel as shown. I used 1 1/4" Construction screws to screw the brackets into the frame of the panel.
2. Drill a hole in your ceiling where you want your first bracket to go. I used 3/16th x 3" toggle bolts (Model # 803732 / Internet #204273387 / Store SKU #125459 at Home Depot). I used a stud finder to avoid drilling into the stud, since toggle bolts mount to drywall.
3. The holes should be exactly 23 inches (584 mm) apart. Mark and drill your second hole there, again using a stud finder to verify there is no stud there before drilling.
4. Thread your toggle bolts through the holes on the bracket and push them through the holes in the drywall ceiling.
5. Tighten toggle bolts down, being careful not to flex your bracket too much. If the brackets are flexed laterally too hard they can break due to the long panel providing a lot of leverage.
