If multiple panels are needed
to complete the rst row of
ceiling liner, overlap the rst
panels end by 6".
Fasten panels by screwing
through the at, next to each
rib at every ceiling joist.
First panel will slide into the
J-trim and will run
perpendicular to the ceiling
joists. Always start at a
corner with the overlap side
toward the wall.
Install the J-Trim or large
J-Trim with frieze around the
perimeter of the ceiling along
the bottom cord. Attach to
the sidewalls with screws.
Repeat steps 5-7 until
ceiling is completed.
Install stitch screws into the
overlapped rib 2' on center.
This will attach the two steel
panels together, creating a
stronger ceiling liner.
Begin the next row of steel
panels installing the overlap
rib onto the rst panel
installed. Fasten screws into
the at, next to each rib at
every ceiling joist.
On the overlapped ends,
install a screw on either side
of each rib into the ceiling
joist. Use this method for all
end laps until the rst row
has been installed.
