Glue-up Installations with Lap Joint Tiles
Ceilume’s lap joint ceiling tiles are mounted directly to a sound installation surface using adhesive.
These tile have a unique overlapping edge that allows them to be installed without the use of
decorative or smooth strips.
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
Your ceiling or wall needs to provide a at and sound installation surface. Texturing like popcorn will
need to be removed, and taping and bedding, patching, or sanding may be necessary if your surface
is excessively damaged, gapped, or uneven.
Your hands, work surfaces, and installation surface must be smooth, clean, and dry. Dust, oil,
grease, and other contaminants can aect the adherence of your ceiling tiles.
Pre-test your materials before starting to ensure the best results for your specic installation.
