Installation Instructions

INSTALL REMAINING MAIN BEAMS
AND CROSS TEES
Complete the installation of rows of main
beams.
NOTE: If you have additional rows of main
beams to install, stretch a second string from
one side of the room to the other, aligning it
with the rst four-foot cross tee as shown.
This second string will be your guide for
cutting the remaining rows of main beams.
Just measure from the end wall to the string
to determine the distance for the
rst cross tee slot you will use.
You must line up all cross tee slots for the
grid to be square.
INSTALL PANELS
Slightly tilt panels, lift above framework,
and gently rest on cross tee and main beam
edges.
Measure and cut border panels individually.
Using a leftover cross tee or main beam
section as a straight edge, cut panels face
up with a very sharp utility knife. Border
panels may require eld cutting of Tegular
edge details. All eld cut edges “exposed to
view” should be colored to match the factory
nish. Armstrong

LIGHTING AND OTHER FIXTURES
Lighting and other xtures must be
supported by the grid, not by the ceiling
panels. Depending on the size and weight of the
xtures, extra hangers may be required.
