Assembly Instructions
most corrosive chemicals, but you should avoid using acidic 
cleaners. Do not use abrasive cleansers to scrub. 
  To prevent the tiles from moving due to significant updrafts, we offer 
optional hold-down clips that may be used for drafty areas or 
uneven grid systems. Please contact us for additional information or 
for answers to any questions that you may have. 
Why Genesis is Easier 
  The time to make straight cuts and circular cuts is the same, but the 
contractor needs to use a utility knife for the straight cuts on our 
product to score and snap. No electric saw is needed for straight 
cuts. For your circular cuts they need to use a hole saw – very quick 
and easy. 
  Less tile damage during installation. With Genesis they should have 
zero product damage. With mineral fiber tiles they generally 
experience 10% tile damage due to dropping tile, just handling the 
tile, or from trying to bow a tile to get in place. 
  Our tiles can be bowed to get into tight and smaller places and to 
accommodate HVAC equipment above the grid without breakage. 
Results in a much faster install than any of the other products. You 
cannot bow the mineral fiber tiles without some breakage and the 
vinyl clad tiles have very little give. 
  Another positive of Genesis tiles is fewer razor blades need to be 
replaced. Our PVC does not dull the blade as quickly as the other 
ceiling tiles.
