DIMENSIONS 2’X2’ LAY-IN INSTALLATION TIPS

QUICK TIPS

• Dimensions 2’x2’ panels quickly and easily fit into almost any ceiling grid system. For use with most 15/16-inch T-

bar grid systems. These tiles are not intended for use with 9/16-inch narrow line grid systems.

• To cut Dimensions 2’x2 panels, mark and cut the face of the tile with utility knife or scissors. A circular saw or

table saw can also be used to cut multiple tiles at once and a RotoZip or hole saw can be used for odd sizes

shapes and circular holes – like sprinkler heads or can lights.

• To clean Dimensions ceiling panels, a mild soap and water solution works well.

• To prevent the tiles from moving due to significant updrafts, we recommend using hold-down clips. This helps

in drafty areas or uneven grid systems.

•These panels cannot support the weight of a can light or other fixture. It is recommended to mount the fixture

to a standard mineral tile and use our tile with a small amount of glue to ‘reface’ the mineral tile.

INSTALLATION

• Determine the number of tiles required. When installing in an existing suspended ceiling grid, count the

number of whole panels and border panels needed. If installing a new grid system, perform the same count

from your grid layout plan.

• Installing the border panels: Measure the distance from the center of the T-Bar to the closest edge of the wall

molding. Measure and cut panel to this size. Tilt on an angle and insert the new tile into the grid system.

• Installing full panels: Working across the room, install the full panels using the same technique. For any can lights,

or sprinkler heads, be sure to measure to find the CenterPoint, and use a hole saw to cut. We recommend 2 hold

down clips per tile to prevent any panel movement associated with updrafts and airflow. These can be found at

your local hardware store.

CAUTION: Even though these panels are “Class A” fie rated, they can be deformed with excessive heat. Never expose to

heat over 140˚F. Never use abrasive materials such as scouring pads to clean surface; use only a soft cloth or sponge with

mild soap and water.

WHY OUR TILES MAKE I T E ASIER • Our tiles can be cut easily with a utility knife or scissors. This speeds up installation and makes it easy for almost anyone to do. For your circular cuts, a hole saw is used– this makes it quick and easy. • Less tile damage during installation compared to standard mineral fiber tiles. With Dimensions, there should be little to no product damage.
