around the perimeter.
Position the ceiling tile and rmly hold it in place, making sure
that the adhesive makes good contact with the ceiling surface for
proper adhesion.
If stapling, apply three staples within ¼ in. of the tile’s outer edge along each side of the
ceiling tile except for the side that meets the wall.
Repeat the installation process with the remaining border ceiling tiles, proceeding from one

ceiling tiles. Each strip has a decorative pattern that begins with a dot and ends with a dash.
