Easy Installation Instructions
Our “Tin” styled panels are easy to work with because they cut easily with a pair of scissors and simmply install on a clean dry
solid surface with our recommended All Purpose Power Grab adhesive by Loctite.
Preparation:
1.)Determine the number of panels needed. is is easily done by dividing your total square footage (found by
multiplying your area length by width, rounding up to even number of foot - 17’8”=18’) needed by 8.
Ex:120 SqFt./8
(sq. per panel)=15 panels. We generally recommend 1-2 extra depending on the job size.
2.) Before installation make sure the surfaces are clean and free of dirt and grease. For popcorn ceiling installation
make sure to knock o the low hanging pieces, the glue will create a leveling eect for the rest.
3.) Generally we recommend to start in the center of the room (follow a chalk line) so the panels are balanced
on each side where they meet the walls. is is personal preference however, and you can start along a wall if you
choose, leaving your cut side in a less visible area of the room. vv
Installation:
1.) Aer you decide where you’re starting your rst panel, you apply a ¼” bead of the Loctite adhesive around
the outside of the panel approx. ¾” in from the edge. en apply in a + pattern in the le, center, and right of the
panel. Do not put any adhesive in the outer dot dash area where panels over lap and do not over glue. Apply-
ing too much glue will push the panel farther from the at surface not letting it lay at and overlap the next panel
properly. Remember: each panel weighs less than 1lb.
2.) Once the panel is on the wall or ceiling, simply press rmly with your hands on the panel to help the glue
spread and adhere to the surface. Stagger the joints from one row to the next. If it becomes necessary to cut the
panel to t you may use a utility knife or a pair of scissors. If applying to new sheetrock, the sheetrock must be
primed rst before installation. Panels can be painted with oil based or latex paint but we do suggest priming if
Install in a T-grid system by refacing those ugly 2x2/2x4 tiles. Panels need to be cut down for 15/16”
T-grid installation by removing the dot dash area (trimming our panels to either 23.5”x23.5” or 23.5”x47.5”) and
then bonded in the middle (recommended adhesive) to a standard re rated ceiling tile. To see more of the pat-
tern and get a better look, when remodeling convert 2x2 T-grids to 2x4 (you can use the old 2x2 tile for support).
Paint the tile and T-grid (so they match) to color desired.
