SYSTEMS OVERVIEWExterior Ceiling ApplicationsINTRODUCTIONUSG provides six systems for use in exterior environments that are not directly exposed tothe weather, such as under soffits, parking garages, covered entrances, or drive-throughs: Paraline II Linear Metal Ceiling System1 Paraline Plus Linear Metal Ceiling System Celebration Snap-In Metal Panel Ceiling System Celebration Torsion Spring Metal Panel Ceiling System ZXLA with USG Sheetrock Lay-In Ceiling Panel USG Drywall Suspension SystemThese ceiling systems combine traditional modules, elegant linear pans, or metal panelswith a specially engineered suspension system to create dynamic ceilings featuring clean,contemporary planes.This guide covers flat ceilings attached to perimeter walls on all sides. installed per ASTMC636. For other installations including sloped or curved ceilings consult USG architecturalRepresentative.These guidelines outline the design considerations, test results, and construction details forthe installation of each USG exterior ceiling system. USG exterior assemblies were testedper UL 580, UL 1897, TAS 202, and TAS 203, and listed in PEI Evaluation Report, PER-12055.For more information about UL Standards, please visit www.UL.com.For more information about Florida Building Code Testing Application Standards (TAS),please visit www.floridabuilding.org.1The Paraline II closed-reveal linear metal ceiling is the Paraline system appropriate for exterior ceiling applications.USG EXTERIOR CEILING SYSTEMS4
SYSTEMS OVERVIEWExterior Ceiling ApplicationsWIND DESIGN NOTESMiles Per Hour (mph) versus Pounds Per Square Foot (psf)ASCE 7-16, Minimum Design Loads for Buildings and Other Structures, American Societyof Civil Engineers/Structural Engineering Institute (ASCE/SEI), contains a formula thatconverts wind speed into static pressure. The formula is a comprehensive approach toinclude factors such as height or location of the building or directionality of wind loadsaffecting the structure expressed as:qz 0.00256 KzKztKdV2qz velocity pressure evaluated at height z above the ground (psf)Kz velocity pressure exposure coefficientKzt topographic factorKd wind directionality factorV basic wind speed (mph)All the test results presented in this guide were achieved by measuring the maximumpressure that the system can withstand. The formula above provides guidance on how toestimate the wind speed correlating to the particular pressure. Because the factors (Kz, Kzt,Kd) are project specific, they were conservatively estimated to be equal to one. Therefore,the simplified formula to estimate wind speed based on given pressures is as follows:V qz/0.00256Wind load provisions of ASCE 7-16 are recognized in the 2018 International ResidentialCode (IRC) and the 2018 International Building Code (IBC). The information presented iscorrect to the best of our knowledge at the date of issuance. Because codes continue toevolve, check with a local official prior to designing and installing a ceiling system. Otherrestrictions and exemptions may apply.WIND PRESSURETEST METHODSUSG exterior assemblies were tested for both uplift (positive) and downward (negative)pressures. The positive values represent uplift capacity and the negative values representdownward capacity. Testing for both positive and negative pressures offers a morecomplete assessment of the performance of USG assemblies. It also allows USG to evaluateand certify the comparative resistance of USG assemblies to both positive and negativepressures. With the publication of this thorough wind load assessment, design professionalscan be assured USG exterior assemblies satisfy the most stringent performancerequirements and design criteria.USG EXTERIOR CEILING SYSTEMS5

LINEAR METAL CEILING SYSTEMSPARALINE II AND PARALINE PLUSWIND RESISTANCEUSG Paraline ceiling systems may be used for protected exterior applications not directlyexposed to the weather. The Paraline II and Paraline Plus systems have been tested forwind load resistance. The two units of measure commonly used are miles per hour (mph) andpounds per square foot (psf), equated by the methods in ASCE 7, Minimum Design Loads forBuildings and Other Structures, American Society of Civil Engineers/Structural EngineeringInstitute (ASCE/SEI).1Limitations: The Paraline finish is not UV-resistant; therefore, these ceiling systems shouldnot be installed where direct exposure to sun or weather will occur, such as fascias or facades.These ceiling systems are not suitable for areas subject to high concentrations of acid rain.Indirect exposure to severe environmental conditions may shorten the lifespan of theseproducts. The specific design of exterior ceiling installations requires the review and approvalof the architect or engineer of record. For more information refer to Paraline Linear MetalCeiling Systems IC463.TECHNICAL DATA The wind pressure is presented in accordance with applicable test standards. The compression posts used for the tests were minimum 1-5/8", 20-gauge steel studs.(maximum length of 24") For Paraline II tests, EMT conduit with USG top and bottom clips were used.GUIDELINES The building structure from which the Paraline system is suspended, as well as hanger wireand compression post attachment connections must be capable of withstanding the designloads connections. For further information on the compression post, see page 49 Other materials can be used for compression posts, provided the capacity and attachmentconnections are approved for use by a structural engineer of record. The architect’s details must cover the design and location of expansion joints and meet allapplicable building code requirements.PANEL SIZESThe Paraline II and Paraline Plus systems presented in this guide can accommodate 3-1/4"wide pans for Paraline II and 3" & 7" wide Paraline Plus pan sizes.1The system shall comply with local wind load requirements. The engineer of record shall determine the finalrecommendation for the design wind pressure requirements of each project.For more information about Paraline linear metal ceiling systems, visit usg.comUSG EXTERIOR CEILING SYSTEMS10
