The preferred method for installing glue up panels is to apply the adhesive directly to the back of the ceiling panels using loctite pl premium tube adhesive in a 1 8 diameter bead.
Direct apply ceiling tiles.
Direct mount ceiling tiles can be butted into one another and glued onto the ceiling or a specialized t grid frame can be installed.
The tiles of a direct mount ceiling do not mount directly to the ceiling but the grid does.
Try our surface mount direct apply ceiling tiles or planks to create the perfect finishing touch.
The main difference is that the direct mount ceiling grid attaches directly to the ceiling framing by means of screws or staples driven into the ceiling or floor joists above rather than being suspended by wires.
In both cases we recommend spreading the material out on the panel evenly with an 1 8 trowel shown below.
As with a drop ceiling individual tiles are laid into the grid and are not attached.
With no specialty tools required they mount in one of two ways.
Just follow the manufacturer s directions.
