ACCESSORIES:
Cabinets or similar loads on Green-Zip Partition: Reinforcing is recommended — just as it is with any other drywall system.  Where loads such as cabinets or shelves exist, reinforce the partition with typical drywall blocking, 16 or 20 gauge roll sheet metal (with self-tapping screws at mounting height), heavy gauge and/or additional middle studs and/or as required or specified by architect or engineer.

“Hang” Cabinets on partition using wood “Z-Hangers™” because this allows easy removal and relocation and a means of distributing the load to each stud (never to the drywall).  Attach thru drywall panel into the stud with toggle or molly bolts as required. “Z-Hangers” consist of 1" x 6" nominal (3/4" thick actual x 5-1/2" tall actual)  cut in half with a 45 degree cut forming two pieces with each piece ¾" thick and 3-1/8" tall on one face and 2-1/8" tall on the short face. Attach one piece to the outside of the wall with the short face against the wall and the 45 degree edge facing up (attach directly into studs and/or blocking with molly or toggle bolts as required); mount the other piece to the back of the cabinet with the short face against the cabinet and 45 degree edge downward. Use one or two sets of wood “Z-Hangers” or as many as required to hold the weight and add a bottom spacer.

The length of the wood “Z-Hanger” is the same as the length of the cabinets; exception: for each side of the cabinet that is visable reduce the length of  the wood Z-Hanger by 1-1/2" and add a ¾" thick by ¾" wide wood trim and paint the exposed edge black so that the “Z-Hanger” gets lost in the ¾" deep reveal shadow. This makes the length of the wood Z-Hanger 3" shorter than the cabinet if both sides are exposed.
