What do I check for finish work: linear slot diffuser finish check?

Linear slots are architectural. A small misalignment reads like a giant mistake because the eye follows the line across the ceiling.

Stop if

• This slot diffuser controls the room line visually. Can you confirm the architectural control line and end condition before final install?

Watch out

• Stop if architectural layout, plenum location, slot length, or ceiling framing conflicts are unresolved.

Check

• Check the straight line across multiple pieces.
• Confirm ends align with walls, lights, reveals, or architectural control points as shown.
• Make sure the plenum connection does not twist the slot.
• Protect the finish face until final cleanup.
• Photograph alignment before ceiling closeout.
