For best resu

installation, during installation, and after installation. Room
temperatures must be between 32°-120° Fahrenheit (0°-49°
Centigrade); relative humidity should not exceed 95%.
Remove tiles from the packaging for proper acclimatization to room
temperature. Tiles should be stored in the room of installation for a
minimum of 24 hours before installation. TopTile™ Acoustical Tiles
are for INTERIOR installations only. Failure to follow these important
steps will void the warranty.

Step 1 – Installation of Ceiling Grid System
Follow the Ceiling Grid Manufacturer’s installation instructions.
Step 2 – Installation of Ceiling Tiles
Angle the tiles up through the open spaces in the grid system;
straighten and lower into place so that they rest flat on the tees. Cut
the perimeter panels with a utility knife for flexible material, or use a
fine blade power saw or hand saw to cut most rigid panels. The cut-
edge should rest on the wall angle. Make the cut-outs for fixtures and
vents prior to installation of the panels.
Maintenance Instructions
Fiberglass (15mm, Lay-in) Collection
Remove any loose dirt or dust by either gently brushing or using a
vacuum cleaner with the appropriate attachments (those used for
cleaning upholstery or walls). Only clean in one direction, so as to avoid
rubbing dust into the surface. You may also clean using a lightly-
dampened cloth or sponge (i.e. using a minimal amount of water).
