Glue-up Installations with Butt Joint Tiles
Ceilume’s glue-up, butt joint ceiling tiles can be mounted directly to an existing ceiling surface using
adhesive. Tiles butt together and decorative or smooth strips are used to cover the joints between
tiles.
Check building codes as required.
Don’t Be Clingy
Ceiling tiles can come out of the box with a bit of a static charge, which can attract dust
and debris from construction, remodeling, and even heavy cleaning. We strongly
advise you to nish any sawing, drilling, and sanding, and give the space a thorough
cleaning before installing your new ceiling tiles and accessories.
Don’t worry - our vinyl products don’t create any dust of their own, and once they’re
installed the static charge will dissipate, alleviating the attraction to dust and debris.
Before You Begin Installing Your Tiles
• Your installation surface needs to be at and sound. Texturing like popcorn will need to be
removed, and patching, or sanding may be necessary if your ceiling is damaged or uneven.
• Your hands, work surfaces, and ceiling must be smooth, clean, and dry. Dust, oil, grease, and
other contaminants can aect the adherence of your ceiling tiles and strips.
• Pre-test your materials before starting to ensure the best results for your specic installation.
