Installation Guide

Easy-to-Follow Instructions
INSTALL WALL MOLDING COVERS
Install the Wall Molding Covers by sliding the cover over the existing metal wall angles.
Continue to install the covers by abutting them end to end around the entire room.
(See Tip #1)
INSTALL 4' MAIN COVERS
Install the 4' Main Covers over the existing metal grid by placing them parallel to each other
every 24" on-center. The 4' Main Covers can be installed parallel in either direction. It is
suggested that you place the 4' Main Covers over the existing 12' metal mains and the 2'
metal cross tees (which run parallel to each other).
Measure and cut your first 4' Main Cover so the notch is aligned over the first metal grid
intersection. (See Tip #2) Install the 4' Main Cover by sliding the longer wrap around flange
over the lip of the existing metal grid and then simply slide your thumb down the middle or
the opposite edge and snap the cover up. The remaining 4' Main Covers in that row will line
up by simply abutting the end of the next 4' Main Cover to the end of the already installed 4'
Main Cover. When each row is complete, cut the last 4' Main Cover so it ends at the Wall
Bracket Cover.
INSTALL THE 2' TEE COVERS
The 2' Tee Covers are installed perpendicular to the 4' Main Covers.
Tools you
will need:
For the amount of GridMAX needed, measure the perimeter and calculate square footage.

INSTALL 4' MAIN COVERS
Install the 4' Main Covers over the existing metal grid by placing them parallel to each other
every 48" on-center. The 4' Main Covers have to be installed on the existing 12' metal mains.
Measure and cut your first 4' Main Cover so the notch is aligned over the first metal grid
intersection. (See Tip #2) Install the 4' Main Cover by sliding the longer wrap around flange
over the lip of the existing metal grid and then simply slide your thumb down the middle or
the opposite edge and snap the cover up. The remaining 4' Main Covers in that row will line
up by simply abutting the end of the next 4' Main Cover to the end of the already installed 4'
Main Cover. When each row is complete, cut the last 4' Main Cover so it ends at the Wall
Bracket Cover.
INSTALL THE 4' TEE COVERS
The 4' Tee Covers are installed perpendicular to the 4' Main Covers.
INSTALLATION TIPS
TIP 1: At each room corner measure the distance from the
last cover to the inside corner and cut the Wall Molding Cover
at a 45˚ angle using a tin snips or a pair of scissors.
TIP 2: Starting at the wall, measure the length from the wall
molding cover to the first intersection. Using the length, measure
from the start of the notch towards the end and cut off the excess.
(If the measurement is greater than 12", measure and cut from
the second notch.)
TIP 3: When installing on a 2' x 4' grid system, every other notch
on the mains will fall onto the metal grid intersections.
