HAVE QUESTIONS?


1

surface preparation & finding the starting point

  • Clean your surface area and remove any loose paint, this will assure good adhesion.
  • Starting point is all about figuring out what will look the best. In our case, we wanted to have full tiles against exterior wall and minimize the cuts.

2

adhesive application and first tile install

  • Applying adhesive on a tile is easy, even a toddler can do it. Make sure to add enough adhesive and press it firmly to the ceiling. Using clean gloves is useful to avoid having to clean the ceiling.

3

Cutting the tiles and installing vents

  • Be careful when cutting metal tiles with tin snips, cut edges get very sharp. Wearing gloves to protect your hands is always a good idea.
  • Be sure to account for an overlap on your tiles when taking measurements for partial tiles.
  • Undereave vents come in the same color white as our Aluminum Ceiling Tiles.
