Installation Instructions

INSTALL REMAINING MAIN BEAMS
AND CROSS TEES
• Complete the installation of rows of main
beams.
• NOTE: If you have additional rows of main
beams to install, stretch a second string from
one side of the room to the other, aligning it
with the rst four-foot cross tee as shown.
• This second string will be your guide for
cutting the remaining rows of main beams.
Just measure from the end wall to the string
to determine the distance for the
rst cross tee slot you will use.
• You must line up all cross tee slots for the
grid to be square.
INSTALL PANELS
• Slightly tilt panels, lift above framework,
and gently rest on cross tee and main beam
edges.
• Measure and cut border panels individually.
Using a leftover cross tee or main beam
section as a straight edge, cut panels face
up with a very sharp utility knife. Border
panels may require eld cutting of Tegular
edge details. All eld cut edges “exposed to
view” should be colored to match the factory
nish. Armstrong

LIGHTING AND OTHER FIXTURES
Lighting and other xtures must be
supported by the grid, not by the ceiling
panels. Depending on the size and weight of the
xtures, extra hangers may be required.
