Use and Care Manual

Working from the center out would balance the working area and ensure your largest tiles in the middle
of your space. This could be important when a designer pattern is used. However, you can start at one
end and work to the other.
If I wanted to remove a tile (or a few), how would I do so and what would I use?
Start by applying pressure slowly underneath the 3-inch side of a tile and increase pressure lifting the
tile up. Note: Be careful not to damage the adjacent tile. A 1-inch putty knife or similar tool that applies
even pressure across the surface upon which you are prying is recommended. Note: subsurface material
like drywall may be affected due to the aggressive nature of the tile adhesive which may require touch
up or priming prior to replacing the tile.
Will the peel and stick adhesive used to apply Aspect damage the surface it is
applied to if a tile is removed?
Yes, possibly. Caution is advised when removing tile to eliminate as much old adhesive as possible. Some
repairs may be necessary if this happens.
What is the flame spread rate on Aspect tiles?
Aspect tiles meet or exceed ASTM E84 Class 1 and Class A Surface Burn Characteristics.
Do you offer outlet and switch covers?
Yes, matching outlet covers for Aspect colors are available here.
Can I use the Aspect products in my camper or RV?
Yes, you can use on the interior of your camper and we recommend using method 2 of our installation
guide which states to use supplemental adhesive due to road vibrations and temperature swings.
Do your products have a California Proposition 65 warning?
You may see a warning on this product regarding California’s Proposition 65, the Safe Drinking Water
and Toxic Enforcement Act of 1986. It is intended to help Californians make informed decisions about
protecting themselves from chemicals known to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm.
The Proposition requires the state to maintain and update a list of chemicals known to the state to
cause cancer or reproductive toxicity. Proposition 65 is designed to inform consumers. This is not the
same as a regulatory decision that a product is “safe” or “unsafe”. Our products emit no volatile organic
compounds (VOC’s) and are in no way harmful if the product is used for its intended purpose. At
Acoustic Ceiling Products, customer satisfaction is our number one priority and we will be happy to
provide any additional information, technical specs or data you may need on any of our products.
Can I paint the Aspect tiles, and if so with what kind of paint?
