Follow these simple steps to install our Polystyrene (Styrofoam) Ceiling Tiles over popcorn or smooth surfaces

 

 

 

Please watch this video clip about ceiling tiles installation over the popcorn:

 

 

·  Our Polystyrene Tiles can be installed over any solid surface (even popcorn)

·  To install the tiles you’ll need:

          - sharp utility knife,

          - marker,

          - putty knife for adhesive,

          - ceramic wall tile adhesive (like Acryl Pro or Omni Grip),

          - straight edge to make nice cuts.

           

1.    Prepare the surface.

Remove loose plaster, paint, wall paper etc.  Draw a chalk line in the middle of the room (preferably through light fixture electrical box, if you have one) 

2.    Apply the adhesive

             We recommend to use Ceramic wall tile paste adhesive

             which could be found at any local building supplies store. 

             Installation of the tiles over the popcorn requires more

                  adhesive then for plain drywall or plywood ceilings.

 3. Install the fist row along the chalk line.  Take your time making it as straight as possible . Butt join the tiles side by side.

4.   Work your way to the sides.  First install all of the whole tiles. Work on cutting the tiles and installation of cut pieces at the end.

This is it ! Now if you wish you can install nice Polystyrene crown molding and start enjoying your new ceilings!

The Polystrene tiles could be also easily installed over the popcorn ( stucco) ceilings - please see attached images.
