2 USG Exterior Ceiling Applications

USG provides five exterior systems for use in exterior environments that are not directly exposed to the weather such as under a soffit, parking garages, covered entrance or drive-through. They include the:

– Paraline® II Linear Metal Ceiling System1

– Paraline® Plus™ Linear Metal Ceiling System

– Celebration™ Metal Panel Ceiling System

– ZXLA™ with sheetroCk™ Lay-In Ceiling Panel ClimaPlus™

– USG™ Drywall Suspension System

These ceiling systems combine traditional modules, elegant linear pans, or metal panels combined with a specially engineered suspension system to create dynamic ceilings with clean, contemporary planes.

These guidelines outline the design considerations, test results and construction details for the installation of each USG exterior ceiling system. USG exterior assemblies were tested per: UL 580, UL 1897, TAS 202 and TAS 203, and listed in PEI Evaluation Report, PER-12055.

Wind Design Notes Miles per hour (MPH) versus pounds per square foot (PSF)

ASCE 7-10, Minimum Design Loads for Buildings and Other Structures, American Society of Civil Engineers/

Structural Engineering Institute (ASCE/SEI), contains a formula that converts wind speed into static pressure.

The formula is a comprehensive approach to include factors such as height or location of the building, or

directionality of wind loads affecting the structure expressed as:

q z = 0.00256 K z Kz t Kd V2

q z = velocity pressure evaluated at height z above the ground

K z = velocity pressure exposure coefficient

K z t = topographic factor

K d = wind directionality factor

V = basic wind speed

The approximate value of wind pressure (PSF) can be calculated without knowing all of the factors described

above by utilizing the simplified formula shown below.

p = 0.00256 V 2

p is the pressure (measured in psf)

V is the wind speed (measured in mph)

Wind load provisions of ASCE 7-10, are recognized in the 2012 International Residential Code (IRC) and the

2012 International Building Code (IBC). The information presented is correct to the best of our knowledge at the

date of issuance. Because codes continue to evolve, check with a local official prior to designing and installing a

ceiling system. Other restrictions and exemptions may apply.

Wind Resistance

Paraline II and Paraline Plus

Paraline ceiling systems may be used for sheltered exterior applications not directly exposed to the weather. The Paraline II and Paraline Plus systems have been tested for wind load resistance. The two units of measure commonly used are miles per hour (mph) and pounds per square foot (psf), equated by the methods in ASCE 7, Minimum Design Loads for Buildings and Other Structures, American Society of Civil Engineers/ Structural Engineering Institute (ASCE/SEI).1

Limitations: Finish is not UV-resistant; Paraline should not be installed where direct exposure to sun or weather will occur, such as fascias or facades. Not suitable for areas subject to high concentrations of acid rain. Indirect exposure to severe environmental conditions may shorten the lifespan of the product. The specific design of exterior ceiling installations requires the review and approval of the architect or engineer of record. Please refer to IC463 for more information about Paraline ceiling systems.

Technical Data – Wind pressure presented in accordance with applicable test standards.

– Compression posts used for the tests were 3/49 EMT conduit with compression post adapters.

Guidelines – Building structure from which the Paraline system is suspended and spaced, as well as hanger wire and compression post attachment methods, must be capable of withstanding the loads applied during wind conditions.

– Compression post shall be positively attached to the structure. For further information on the USG Donn Brand Compression Post, see pages 42–44.

– Other materials can be used for compression posts, provided the compressive strength and attachment method are approved for use by a local structural engineer.

– Architect’s details must cover design and location of expansion joints in addition to meeting all applicable building code requirements.

Panel Size The Paraline and Paraline Plus systems presented in this guide can accommodate all available panel sizes. The performance values are not limited to a particular panel size. All available panel sizes will meet the performance values presented.

¹ System is to comply with local wind load requirements. The engineer of record shall determine the final recommendation for the design wind pressure requirements of each project.

Wind Uplift Resistance for Exterior Soffits


USG has a selection of Drywall Suspension assemblies to accommodate the wind loads for most

applications. The system has been tested using applicable industry standards for wind uplift resistance

when installed in exterior soffits and canopies. For more information regarding test standards and online

resources, please refer to the Systems Overview section of this catalogue.

Only SheetroCk® brand exterior ceiling board, DuroCk® cement board and SeCuroCk® Glass Mat Sheathing are

suitable for exterior applications. Specific information for gypsum panel applications can be found at

usg.con and usgdesignstudio.com.

The following pages detail the components and their spacing which are necessary to achieve the different

uplift classifications, including compression post spacing, limiting plenum depths, and construction details for

the installation. The structure that the USG Drywall Suspension System is attached to shall be designed

to withstand the applicable wind loads and carry the soffit system total weight.

Note: Design wind loads vary with geographic region and building conditions, and must be determined by a

professional engineer or architect of record.

Compression Post

The USG Donn® Brand Compression Post provides rigid support for ceiling suspension systems in exterior applications. The telescoping compression posts attach to the main tees and Paraline symmetrical carriers¹ preventing upward movement of the system.

Features – Factory-engineered solution provides rigid support for ceiling suspension systems in exterior applications and offers quick installation thus reducing field labor time.

– Availabe in six different telescoping sizes that meet requirements and includes fast delivery.

VSA 120/144 1209 to 1449

– Injection-molded, high-impact clip snaps onto the bulb of the main tee for a secure, positive connection. – When used with Paraline systems, Paraline compression post adapters¹ connect the post to the Paraline

symmetrical carrier for a secure, positive connection. – Heavy-wall galvanized steel tubing, no-rust telescoping post locks into permanent support length. – Injection-molded guide ring prevents rattling. – Spring steel top clip for attachment to vertical hanger wire adjacent to post – The adjustable self-locking connection has been tested and certified to a minimum compressive load of 900 lb. – Meets UL797

Components End Plug Top Clip Hanger Wire Spring Clip Attachment Spring Clip Holes (Top of Post)

Note: The end plug, top clip and hanger wire spring clip are included with each post.

¹ When used with Paraline systems, Paraline compression post adapters must be purchased. The end plug of the compression post is removed and replaced with the Paraline compression post adapter prior to installation. The Paraline compression post adapter is not included with each compression post and must be purchased separately.

Application1 Step 1 Fit top clip into the opening of the post.

Step 2 Snap compression post onto main tee bulb next to vertical hanger wire.

Step 3 Bring compression post to vertical with hanger and extend post for snug fit against structure.

Step 4 Loop spring clip around vertical hanger wire and connect to holes on top of post.

Step 5 Mechanically fasten end plug of post to main tee bulb.

Step 6 Fasten compression post to structure with the appropriate mechanical fastener.
