FILLER INSTALLATION FOR CEILINGS
The most common tin ceiling layout uses no filler and merely trims the panel flush wall to wall.
However, filler is required for certain applications.
Filler is generally used with:
• Patterns with a deep profile depth that do not accomodate cropping
• For design layouts specifying filler
Cut the filler to fit into the coverage area. When finishing a perimeter, cut the filler panels so that the edges will butt flush
against the wall.
Install the filler by coating the backside with Loctite
®
Power Grab
®
or a similar adhesive and position it in place.
Once positioned, nail the filler panel into the substrate, placing one nail every 6 inches around the perimeter of the filler
panel. Overlap adjacent filler panels by 1/4” utilizing the nail rail.
Flat molding is often used to transition between filler and panels, and will hide any unsightly seams.
Filler for Snap Lock

, Nail-Up and Backsplash applications will require the use of the F1-N or F2-N filler pan-
els. These will have a nail rail on the perimeter of the panel. For Drop-In applications, the F1-D and F2-D are
required and do not have a nail rail.
