Trim Purpose
Specs, MSDS, and LEED Information for Flannery Trims & Products
Flannery’s Flush Acoustical to Drywall Transition Reveal (FADR) is an aluminum trim that allows a suspended acoustical ceiling to transition to a gypsum board ceiling on the same plane. It accommodates the different levels of ceiling grid that is required between an Acoustical panel compared to a drywall panel. The FADR has a reveal to mimic certain ceiling grid styles as well as creating a defined break between one ceiling material and another.

Rotate the Ceiling Grid Trim Clip into the slots on each side of the FADR trim and tighten the lock screw. Then attach the Ceiling Grid Trim Clip to the acoustical ceiling grid and to the suspended drywall ceiling grid.

Insert a fastener through the trim’s flange and drywall edge into the grid system. Apply compound joint over the flange and feather accordingly. The acoustical ceiling tiles can now be installed on the other side of the Flush Acoustical to Drywall Transition Reveal. Use the included Ceiling Cloud Trim Splices to connect one piece of trim to the next for level and clean butt joints. All Cloud Edge Trims must be cut accurately and installed with tight, neat joints.
