2. MATERIALS
   1. Manufacturer's standard field-assembled upholstered wall system comprised of a perimeter   frame, core materials and fabric facing.
      1. Frame: 100-durometer rigid-PVC extruded track and flexible hinge, 1/2 in. overall height, designed to close and lock fabric in place.
      2. Edge detail as selected: Square, radius or beveled.
      3. Panel sizes: As indicated on drawings.
      4. Core materials as follows:
         1. Tackable core: Micore CV230 by USG Interiors, Inc., of an NRC (noise reduction coefficient) rating of .35 per ASTM C-423 test requirements; provide nominal 1/2 in. thickness.
         2. Acoustical core: Fire-retardant compressible polyester padding of an NRC rating of .50 per ASTM C-423 test requirements; provide nominal 1/2 in. thickness or as otherwise required to maintain flush condition with core material so that surfaces do not telegraph through the fabric facing.
         3. Fiberglass: Acoustical inorganic glass fibers compressed to seven (7) lbs. per cu. ft. bonded by a thermosetting agent.
   2. Fabric: Shall be upholstered so that fabric is taut and all vertical and horizontal patterns match. Fabric shall be tested for suitability and stability. Proper backing must be applied if needed.
   3. Mounting accessories: Mechanical fasteners and other attachment components as required by the manufacturer for concealed fastening of panel frames and core materials for applications indicated.

PART 3.0 EXECUTION

1. EXAMINATION: Inspect conditions under which the work of this section will be performed and verify that the installation may properly commence. The work shall not proceed until unsatisfactory conditions have been fully resolved.
2. INSTALLATION

   2. Tackable and acoustical core materials shall be provided as specified, located as indicated on drawings.
   3. Fabric shall be installed square and free of ripples and distortions.
   4. Fabric shall be stretched over the frame with sufficient tension to avoid sagging under year- round temperature and humidity conditions.
   5. Fabric shall be installed with warp (vertical) and weft (horizontal) threads made plumb, level and true. Pattern, texture and grain of fabric shall be perfectly aligned at the seams and through the   entire seam-jointed wall system without distortion to the geometry of the fabric or its pattern.
   6. Fabric shall be stretched taut so as not to puddle or dent when touched or leaned upon. Fabric shall be self healing when pushed, punched or hit and shall revert back to its original finished condition.
