Installation Guide
Preparation of Installation Surface
The installation surface should be smooth, solid, clean, and dry. Taping and bedding,
patching, or sanding may be necessary if your ceiling has excessive damage or gaps.
Tools Required
Tape measure
Pencil
Chalk line
Scissors or utility knife
Staples and staple gun (if stapling)
Bulk FRP adhesive, v-notch trowel (size trowel as directed on the adhesive label), water,
and paper towels (if gluing)
Ceiling Layout
Map your ceiling on graph paper before beginning installation.
Locate and draw any light xtures, heating vents, intersecting
hallways, closets, and doorways. Occasionally these features
can inuence starting points, tile placement, and nished ceiling
design.
Put chalk lines along the midpoints that work best with the above
variables. These lines should be parallel with the walls and
create a cross close to the middle of the ceiling. These lines will
help you align the rst tile edges.
