Premium Nixalite^® Installation - Surface Layout
Marking the installation surface for rows of Premium Nixalite and Mounting Hardware. 

     

Checkpoint! Before continuing, you must already know...

1. The Premium Nixalite model or models that best suit your application. If you are not sure, go to; Premium Nixalite Models or Planning Your Installation.
2. Which mounting system you will be using. If you are not sure, review Mounting Hardware.
3. How much Premium Nixalite you will need. If not, use the Automated Estimate Worksheet to find the proper quantities.
4. Where the Premium Nixalite strips will go on the surface. If you are not sure, go to; Nixalite Spacing to find proper strip spacing.

If you have any questions regarding surface layout for the Nixalite strips, Contact Nixalite.
 

	Lay Out the Installation Surface Make sure the surface is clean, dry and ready for the installation. If this has not been done, go to Surface Cleaning before continuing. Tip: If you used the Automated Estimate Worksheet to generate installation drawings, use them now. They provide strip and hardware positions on each surface. Tip: If the installation surface is long and straight, or if there are several identical surfaces, you can save time by making an Installation Template (PDF).   With a straight edge mark the installation surface where the center of each Premium Nixalite row will be positioned. Nixalite’s supplied mounting hardware is positioned 7/8” (2.2 cm) from the Nixalite base strip line. For most surfaces*, the mounting hardware is installed behind the Nixalite strip position (away from the closest outside edge). Measure the 7/8” (2.2 cm) in from the base strip and mark a line for the mounting hardware. The mounting hardware will be installed along this new line. * If you are installing Premium Nixalite Model H on the surface by itself, go to; Installing Model H Nixalite. Use the Mounting Hardware Spacing Chart to find the proper mounting hardware spacing. Mark each hardware location along the hardware line.

Mounting Hardware Spacing Chart
The distance between mounting hardware locations depends on the length of Nixalite strip.

Never use less than 2 units of hardware per strip - no matter how short the strip might be.

Where to go from here..
When the strip and hardware positions are marked, you’re ready to install the mounting hardware.
