EVGA Soffit & Canopy Case Study – “A Better Solution”
Problem: The steel studs used to frame the front lobby soffit were installed to low to allow the drywall and finish panel cladding to meet building standard minimal height clearance.
Solution: Railset preassembled frames were attached directly to the steel studs. Decorative panels were cleated to the Railset frame. Since the frames were square, level and flush, drywall was not required and the decorative soffit height from the floor met the code. This adjustment allowed the soffit in the front lobby to match the Railset installation on the 2nd floor ceiling.

EVGA office remodel specification: 0.750” thick aluminum laminated panels for decorative ceilings and perimeter wall soffits. Railset Web non-load bearing frames solved two installation issues.
- The Web is square, level, and easy to plumb. It masked all surface irregularities in the ceiling drywall illuminating the need to prep the surface prior to the panel installation.
- Soffit framing was installed below the specified height. Drywall cladding had to be eliminated to accommodate installation of decorative panel and meet building height dimension. Railset’s rigid, square, and level Web aligned studs and carried the decorative panels to meet soffit building standard.

Web rails span the open framing. Their rigid profile provided a level surface to fix the decorative panels ensuring perfect panel joints and the interface of panels with LED light strips.

The Railset Web was preassembled on the floor and installed in sections. The sections were joined with splice brackets. Wall mounts fixed the web to ceiling joists. The Web was leveled at wall mount locations.
