Overview
Looped Attachment
Attachment Types
Uses 3151677K for locations internal to the layout. Can
be used at cantilevered edges if cable splay is ≥  10° is
required.
Cantilevered Attachment
Uses 385120K for locations at cantilevered edges that
need support. Typically at locations with ≤ 2 adjacent shaped
tile edges. Uses VHB tape and a screw (3152412) to attach
tiles. Cable splay must be within  10° of vertical. Provides a
blind connection detail at edges of installation where more
support is needed for cantilever.

Identify the Eye Bolt location in the ceiling for each cable location. This can be done with a laser
level, using the shape on the loor as a reference for cable location.
*Ensure that there are holes for the
cable to loop through the Velo tiles at
the seams indicated on the diagram.

4Install Cables and Eye Bolt into Mounting Surface.
a b Thread the loose end of cable
back through the double
ended gripper. This loop
can be adjusted by
releasing the cable,
pushing the plunger
down or pulling on the
loose end of the cable
to tighten the loop. Make
sure the gripper doesn’t
have any weight hanging
while making these adjustments.
Installation
5Attach Velo Tiles to the Cables with Looped Attachment Only
Thread the double ended gripper onto the cable.
This component will create the adjustable loop
that the Velo feature will hang from (the position
can be adjusted after hanging; but consider for
larger installations, leveling your inner sections
and moving outward).
The double ended gripper can be adjusted
by easily sliding in one direction and then by
compressing down the plunger and sliding the
gripper along the cable when moving it ‘up’ the
cable.

Cleaning Instructions
Velo Tiles should be cleaned periodically. A regular, seasonal
cleaning program will dramatically help prevent noticeable
weathering and dirt build-up.
To remove airborne debris and dust, it is recommended to
periodically vacuum Velo Tiles. Please note the slight
shedding of ibers from the Felt is normal and not indicative of
any defect.
To treat liquid stains, remove spills immediately using a clean
damp cotton cloth or with detergent soap and warm water.
Carpet and fabric cleaners can usually be used; always test an
inconspicuous area before the actual stain.
Do:
• Vacuum or use a soft brush to clean Velo Tiles
Do not:
• Use strong solvents, highly alkaline or abrasive cleaning
agents.
• Do not completely saturate module with cleaning solution
or water.
Features and Beneits
• 15 color options
• Noise Reduction Coeicient (NRC) of 0.85
• Cost-eective decorative feature
• Easy to specify
• Easy to install
