General: Apply joint treatment at gypsum board joints (both directions); flanges of corner bead, edge trim, and control joints; penetrations; fastener heads, surface defects, and elsewhere as required to prepare gypsum board surfaces for decoration and levels of gypsum board finish indicated. Prefill open joints, rounded or beveled edges, and damaged areas using setting-type joint compound. Apply joint tape over gypsum board joints except those with trim accessories having concealed face flanges not requiring taping to prevent cracks from developing in joint treatment at flange edges. Apply joint tape over gypsum board joints and to trim accessories with concealed face flanges as recommended by trim accessory manufacturer and as required to prevent cracks from developing in joint compound at flange edges. Levels of Gypsum Board Finish: Provide the following levels of gypsum board finish per GA-214. 1. Level 1 for ceiling plenum areas, concealed areas, and where indicated, unless a higher level of finish is required for fire-resistive-rated assemblies and sound-rated assemblies. 2. Level 2 where water-resistant gypsum backing board panels form substrates for tile, and where indicated. 3. Level 3 for gypsum board surfaces indicated to receive medium- or heavy-textured finishes before painting. 4. Level 4 for gypsum board surfaces indicated to receive light-textured finishes, wallcoverings, and flat paints over light textures. For level 4 gypsum board finish, embed tape in finishing compound plus two separate coats applied over joints, angles, fastener heads, and trim accessories using one of the following combinations of joint compounds (not including prefill), and sand between coats and after last coat. Where level 3 gypsum board finish is indicated, apply joint compounds specified for first and second coat in addition to embedding coat. Where level 2 gypsum board finish is indicated, apply joint specified for first coat in addition to embedding coat. Where level 1 gypsum board finish is indicated, apply joint compound specified for embedding coat. Finish cementitious backer units to comply with unit manufacturer's directions. 3.10 CLEANING AND PROTECTION A. B. Promptly remove any residual joint compound from adjacent surfaces. Provide final protection and maintain conditions, in a manner suitable to Installer, that ensures gypsum board assemblies remain without damage or deterioration at time of Substantial Completion.

THOMAS, U. S. VIRGIN ISLANDS 3.2 3.3 3.4 Surfaces shall be dry and wet work completed prior to commencing installation. Inspect surfaces to receive acoustical work and report any defects. Starting work implies acceptance of surfaces and existing conditions. Air plenums occur above suspended ceilings. Verify that plenum surfaces are free of dirt, dust and loose construction soil and that construction work is otherwise complete, equipment installed and that surfaces and openings which might provide “leaks" are sealed prior to commencing installation of ceiling assembly. INSTALLATION Coordinate installation with other trades whose work adjoins or combines with acoustical ceilings. Unless otherwise shown, equipment, fixtures, etc., applied on or within acoustical panels are to be located symmetrically with respect to both axes. Provide grid members required to accommodate lay-in air diffusers and similar items of mechanical equipment.
