Specifying the applied wall system
AutoStrada
How to specify Applied Wall
1. Plan frames to support the height
and width of the intended overall
wall system. Frames can be
installed side-by- side or as much
as 12 apart to provide adequate
structure for horizontal channels
up to 6 wider than the frame on
each side. For example, a 10
length of channels and wall covers
can be supported by three 36
wide frames or by two 48 wide
frames.
2. Specify horizontal channels at
each level required for covers and
overhead storage or shelves. A top
channel is always required and
intermediate channels may be
attached to the frame at any 7 1 /2
increment above 24,31 1 /2,39,
46 1 /2,54,61 1 /2,or69 above
the floor.
3. Typically intermediate channels
are planned at 24,39 and 54 to
support 15h covers. An additional
channel at 31 1 /2 will enable 7
1
/2h covers above and below
worksurface height for slat wall
and power/wire management.
Horizontal channels can be
planned the full width of the wall
or may be segmented to allow
taller covers such as a
markerboard in specific locations.
Alternatively intermediate
channels may be planned at 24
and 46 1 /2 ona69H frame to
support all 22 1 /2 H covers.
4. Specify bottom channel to support
22 1 /2H covers between floor and
24. Specify intermediate bottom
trim and vertical frame covers if
leaving the frame open below 24.
5. Specify end trim if end of wall is
visible and specify corner
connectors, if any.
6. Specify functional covers such as
recess cover, the mounting
location for surface mounted
power distribution and voice/data
outlets, and slat wall covers. Also
specify tackable or marker surface
covers. Then fill in the wall with
decorative covers such as wood
veneer, plastic laminate,
non-tackable fabric, or
backpainted glass. If planning a
bookshelf the cover below the
shelf cannot be glass. Covers are
not required behind overhead
storage cabinets.
7. Specify overhead storage: display
shelves at 31 1 /2 or 39, lower
bookshelves at 54 and upper
bookshelves at 69 to align with
adjacent overhead storage
cabinets. Specify open, partially
open or fully enclosed overhead
storage in veneer or laminate
surface, Overhead storage
cabinets usually hang from a
channel at 69 and bear against a
channel at 54 above the floor.
8. Specify power and cable trays.
Power is distributed by a surface
mounted plugmold raceway with
ten simplex outlets, available in
three configurations: one- circuit
three-wire, two-circuit four wire,
or two-circuit six wire. A 24 wide
plugmold with eight simplex
outlets is also available. Raceways
are always hardwired to the
building power supply by an
electrical contractor. Contractor
will punch a hole through the
recess cover behind the plugmold
to connect from the wall to the
plugmold. Recess cover also
accommodates voice/data outlets
and cable grommets are available
to line a punched hole.
9. Specify worksurface supports.
Worksurface support brackets can
be attached to the channel at 24
above the floor or may be attached
within a cable tray at the same
level.
10. Add accessories.
Customer’s Responsibility:
Attachment of AutoStrada Applied
Wall System to built walls
It is the responsibility of the
customer and their structural
engineer/architect to verify that the
permanent built wall (studs, blocks,
solid masonry, or other) to which the
Applied Wall System is intended to
be attached is designed to support
the load bearing standards set forth
below. It is also the responsibility of
the customer and their structural
engineer/architect to specify the
fasteners and method for attaching
the frames to the built wall and
confirm that the installers have
followed these specifications. For
local standards and additional
requirements such as seismic the
customer should consult local
building and safety codes.
Design loads:
69H Applied wall: 240#/foot of
width. Assume four 60 lb. vertical
loads spaced evenly between 24 and
69 above the floor, with the load
centered 11 from the built wall.
84H Applied wall: 300#/foot of
width. Assume five 60 lb. vertical
loads spaced evenly between 24 and
84 above the floor, with the load
centered 11 from the built wall.
Warning/Disclaimer
Knoll is not responsible for the
attachment method of the Applied
Wall System product, which is the
responsibility of the customer and its
structural engineer/architect. Knoll
is not responsible for the cost of
preparing an existing wall nor the
additional cost for a new wall to
make them appropriate for the
installation of the Applied Wall
System product. Failure to properly
attach the Applied Wall System to a
wall capable of supporting the loads
listed above can lead to property
damage and/or personal injury.
