PRODUCT PLACEMENT

  • PREPARATION WORK
  • Perform installation as late as possible in the building process after any dust generating activities have been completed.
  • Install grid in accordance with grid installation instructions.
  • INSTALLATION
  • Plan room layout providing equal border widths on each side of room, in both directions.
  • Cutting Panels:  Using a utility knife and straight edge, score the finish side of the panel.  Bend panel at the score mark and snap apart.
  • Surface Mounting:
  • Prepare substrate surface with primer.
  • Apply adhesive to substrate using a notched trowel.  If a tube adhesive is used, repeated pressing of tiles to substrate may be required.
  • Install J-Trim (if used), and border panels.  Install full panels, working across the room.
  • Overlap adjacent tiles 9 mm (3/8 inch) until ridges and dots align.
  • Once completed, firmly press all ceiling tiles to ensure proper adhesive bond.
  • T-bar panel Mount:
  • If grid covers are used, install them prior to installing panels.  Refer to GridMax installation instructions.
  • Install border panels (if used), and install full panels working across the room.
  • To cut panels, measure distance between t-bar centers, or between the t-bar center and closest edge of wall molding.
  • If hold-down clips are used, reach over the installed panel and snap over grid members.
  • Glue 610 x 1220 mm (24 x 48 inch) panels in center, to prevent sagging.
  • Contact manufacturer for detailed installation guide.

MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS AND PROCEDURES

  • Clean with mild soap and water.
  • On a daily basis, moderate dust or vacuum clean with a soft, clean brush attachment.
