How much do I need?
To determine the quantity of Nixalite® needed, carefully measure the depth and length of the surface. Take these dimensions and refer to the
Surface Depth Specification Charts shown below. The total of Nixalite® required (T), is found by multiplying the row or rows required for the
surface depth (RR) by the length of the surface (L). (RR x L=T)

How do I space it?
Now that you know how much Nixalite® will be needed, you need to know how to space the Nixalite® strips on the surface. Nixalite®
Space-I-Fications provide simple rules and tolerances for positioning the Nixalite® strips on the surface. See drawings A through I for
illustrations.
A |
Always measure from the middle of the base strip |
B |
5" (12.7 cm) max. and 3 1/2" (8.9 cm) min. between models N, L and S Nixalite®. 2 1/2" (6.4 cm) max. and 2" (5.1 cm) min. between
model H and models N, L or S Nixalite®. |
C |
1 1/4" (3.2 cm) max. from the outside edge to the base strip of the first row for models N, L and S Nixalite®. |
D |
2 3/4" (7.0 cm) max. from inside wall to base strip for models N, L and S, 3/4" (1.9cm) max. from inside wall to base strip for model H
Nixalite®. |
E |
Extend Nixalite® base strip at least 1/2" (1.3 cm) over ends of surface. |
F |
Nixalite® needles must extend over the outside edge at least 1/2" (1.3 cm). |
G |
Model W has a max. 2" (5.1cm) surface width coverage. |
H |
Position Model W a max. of 2 3/4" (7.0) vertical distance from installation surface. |
I |
Clips fastened 7/8" (2.2 cm) above the base strip fo Model W. |
