How to Install Faux Tin Ceiling Tiles Using the Glue-Up Method

This page gives you step by step instructions for installation of glue-up tiles in Faux Tin. The instructions are nearly identical for the inexpensive styrofoam tiles and a great little video shows how to install by glue up method. We like the video because it shows and explains all the tools you would need and shows how to use them. We personally prefer a more rigid straightedge than shown in the video, but everyone has their favorite tools. For help on choosing adhesives for your ceiling installation, see the adhesives chart along with information about where to find the tools you’ll need.

Installation Steps

Just follow these 4 simple steps to install the 24″ x 24″ Overlapping Edge Decorative Ceiling System. It is really quick and easy.

1. Prepare the surface: Wipe off the ceiling / surface and make it smooth and even. Remove loose plaster, paint, wallpaper etc.
2. Draw an angle: draw straight lines in the corner (in width and length part) and make a 90 degree angle, for the starting point of pasting.
3. Apply the adhesive: Apply any good quality Contact Cement, rubber or urethane base adhesive only on the edges and raised cross section of the sheet, and let dry until the solvent of adhesive evaporates. We recommend that you always test the application and allow it to rest at least 24 hours to evaluate the process and results to make an informed decision as whether the application is right for your particular scenario. We also recommend a clean dry surface. See our comparison tables to learn more about selecting the right adhesives for your tiles. We suggest Weldwood by Dap Inc. Liquid Nail Contact Cement is another good choice, or you may check your local Home Improvement Center.
4. Place & Press: Place the sheet into the required position (first sheet at the 90 degree point) and press firmly but gently. Overlap the ends of the previous sheet, again using firm/gentle pressure.
