Ceilume Installation Instructions | Revised September 2016
04
Ceiling Level Temperature
As a general rule, Ceilume’s ceiling panels and tiles will not be aected by ceiling level temperatures
up to 120°F.
In some installations involving halogen lights, metal heat registers, and radiant heat sources (wood
stoves, kitchen ovens, etc.), localized ceiling and ceiling tile temperatures can be much higher
than anticipated. Please contact us for specic advice if your installation has any of these special
conditions.
Painting
All of Ceilume’s ceiling tiles, ceiling panels, tape, and strips can be painted before or after installation.
• Be sure that everything is clean and dry before painting.
• Do not use solvent-type thinners or cleaners.
• Experiment on a sample with the paint of your choice prior to working on your ceiling in its
entirety.
• Painting voids all ratings, approvals, and certications.
Cleaning
Ceilume’s ceiling tiles, panels, tape, and strips require no special cleaning agents – just wipe them
down with a soft, damp rag. Small, stubborn spots can be handled with an all-purpose cleaner.
There is no risk of water damage during cleaning, and there is no need for scheduled professional
cleaning and resurfacing to prevent environmental and aesthetic problems.
Do not use cleaners containing organic solvents or other aggressive ingredients as they may aect
the surface appearance of your tiles. Examples of these types of cleaners include chlorine bleach,
liquid grease remover, strong detergents, and nail polish remover.
