Once all the tees and cross tees are suspended, you simply need to put the ceiling panels in place, use some metal wall sculptures, and install your fluorescent lighting panels if desired.
Putting In the Panels
Next, you will be putting in the main beams. To keep yourself centered, snap a chalk line about every four feet across the entire room. Next put in the hanger wire screws at four foot intervals along the chalk line. The next step is to, wrap the wire around each of the screw hangers. Make sure that the wire is always stretched tight, and complete with a ninety degree angle. This one wire connects all of the main tees. With the aid of your level install your main tees to the wires and make sure that they remain straight and are of a uniform height. After the main tees are installed, you will add the cross tees by moving them into the main tees, using the slots that are provided. Keep checking with your level to make sure that the ceiling is hanging straight.
Cross Tees and Main Beams
Begin by measuring the walls for the panel ceiling installation. Make sure to allow at least six inches as you measure if you are also putting in fluorescent lighting fixtures in your ceiling. You can cut back this measurement to four inches if you are not planning on lighting panels, but never leave less than four inches, or you won't have enough room to put in the panels. It is important to leave enough clearance between the perimeter molding and the ceiling to have room to maneuver your ceiling panels properly into place. Use a level to add the perimeter molding in the room.
Laying the Foundation
There are quite a variety of suspended ceiling panels available on the market. You can also unearth a suspended ceiling system to fit every budget and ability level. Ultimately, you need to consider your budget to make sure that you leave enough money for finishing decor like retro modern wall clock or art wall plaques, as well as the visual effect you are trying to create in the room. Accurate room measurements are necessary before you can buy your suspended ceiling system. As you measure the ceiling you will want to plan how to arrange your tile. To find the amount of tiles you will need divide your total area by the area of an individual tile. This calculation will tell you the number of full ceiling panels that you will need for the job. Figure out how many times a single tile goes into the length and width measurements, and divide that in half to determine the number of partial tiles that you will need. Generally it is a good idea to get more panels than the calculations indicate to account for any breakage or measurement errors.
