INSTALLATION TIP
Tip: The deep indentations in the Saginaw, Niagara, Toledo, Rochester and
Toronto styles prevent them from being cut in the middle properly and are not
recommended to be used as a border panel. Accordingly, these styles look best
when the Chicago panel style is used on the perimeter of the room. All other
styles can be cut and used as a border fill panel.
INSTALLATION
1) Determine the number of tiles required. When installing in an existing
suspended ceiling, count the number of whole panels and border panels needed.
If installing with a new grid system, complete the grid layout plan according to
the manufacturer’s directions and determine the number of whole and border
panels required.
2) To install the border panels, measure the distance from the center of the
T-bar and the closest edge of the wall molding. Measure and cut panel to this size.
(Caution: When cutting the tin tile, be careful of sharp edges to avoid injury - use
gloves). Tilt on an angle and insert the new tile. If installing with an existing ceiling
panel, place the Great Lakes Tin tile under the remaining tile.
3) Working across the room, install the full panels using the same technique.
5) Clean up. Once you have your ceiling installed, the panels can be cleaned with
warm, soapy water. Never use abrasive cleaners or anything with chemicals, as
these may damage the finish on the panel.
PAINTING CEILING PANELS
If you choose to paint your metal ceiling, be sure you use an oil-based primer and
paint as the steel will rust if a water based product is used. Unfinished steel must
be cleaned with wax and grease cleaner before painting.
