Installation Guide

EZ-On Main Covers install on all your main beams and cross T’s. They are cut to fit 2 ft. lengths of ceiling
grid, have a tab at one end, and an over-lip and up-turn edge which allow them to slip on and click into
place.
To install, simply slide them onto your ceiling mains or T’s and click them into place. Once installed the tabs
cover the exposed sections of grid at intersections and the gaps between wall angle covers.
If you have a 2 ft. x 4 ft. ceiling layout, you have a few options. You can use two covers, which has the
benefit of less material/cost but leaves a small amount of the grid edge exposed, or three covers (two and a
little bit extra; any combination of lengths will work), which provides better grid coverage.
From here on out, things are pretty self-explanatory, but here are some tips for the best results:
1. You can begin your installation of main covers wherever you want and proceed in any sequence,
but if you start with the outer portions first you’ll get most of your trim work out of the way in the
beginning, as the grid sections in this area are usually less than full length.
2. Wherever possible, try not to install a main cover with the tab end covering the gap between two
pieces of grid. You will need to do so in some places, every grid just sort of works out that way, but
the more you can keep the tabs on smooth, uninterrupted sections of grid, the flatter the tabs will
lie, and the better your finished ceiling will look.
3. You will have more tab ends than you need; don’t worry! When you come to a section of grid where
no tab is needed, simply trim it off.
