Top 10 Ceiling Installation Tips

1) While Tip 1 may seem obvious to the experienced DIYer, it's worth mentioning. Be sure to remove the ceiling tiles, panels, or planks from the carton 24 hours before installation so they can adjust to the room temperature where you'll be installing your ceiling.

You can find more information on our web, so please take a look.

2) Did you know that WOODHAVEN Planks should be installed horizontally on a sloped ceiling, and you should start from the bottom and work your way to the top? Check out tip 27 in the full guide for more info.

3) When installing the EASY UP track system, the first and last rows of metal tracks are installed 2" from the side walls. The rows of tracks in the middle are installed 12" on centers. Read more about it in Tip 10.

4) Speed up the installation of wall molding along an uneven wall surface. Create a wood fascia attached to the ceiling joist and be sure the bottom of the fascia board is even with the bottom of the wall molding. See the illustration under Tip 5 in the full guide.

6) Tip 9 in the guide shows two methods of squaring the grid: one using a string, plumb bob, and a 3-4-5 triangle, and the other one uses a string, main beams and cross tees. See the guide for step-by-step instructions for each squaring the grid method in Tip 9.

7) Did you know that you can cut a cross tee with snips then bend it like a hinge to make boxing around obstructions simpler? See Tip 13 in the full guide for instructions.
