But once you get into the grove, it goes pretty quickly. It took a couple of tries to get the hang of snapping the GridMAX covers in place. Once completed, we would move the ladder to the next section and continue where we left off. Then add the 4′ Main that butt up against the Molding Caps and finished with the 2′ tees in between. It can get pretty tiring going up and down a ladder ( especially in a larger space), so we found it best to work in sections and tackle whatever is in arms reach while on the ladder.įor instance, if we set up the ladder in the corner of the room first, we would start off with the Wall Molding Caps around the edge, as far as our arms can reach. The diagram below pretty much sums up the working order you must follow for a proper fit. Notice the different clip profile for each face. The 4′ Mains which cover the intersections of the grid system and the 2′ Tee, the shorter pieces of the grid, which finish the spaces in between. The Wall Molding Caps which are used to line the perimeter of the room. They are three different cover strips that you need to do the job.
There’s no need to take on the tedious task of replacing or re-painting your grid system, Genesis makes GridMAX covers that simply go over your existing T-bar. If your ceiling tiles need replacement, chances are your metal grid system needs some love too. Genesis Ceiling Panel products can be found at Home Depot, Lowes, Menards or online at DIY Decor Store.

The tile used in this post is from Genesis’ Standard Series collection ( 74500: 2×4 Smooth Pro Panel in White). For my 2′ x 4′ panels grid system, I was looking for something with clean lines and a smooth finish. When choosing a ceiling panel design, make sure you pick one that compliments your space.
#Tiled ceiling update#
If you’re in the market to update your own suspended ceiling, here is everything you need to know when it comes to replacing ceiling tile.
The all new white palette in this unit leaves me with endless possibilities to create Project Whimsy! This is the old fiber-based ceiling tile we removed. We used 4000K in this space for a neutral white (no warm/yellow tones, no cool/blue tones).Īs you can imagine, I’m excited for this fresh start. With the walls primed, the florescent lights removed and the ceiling tile replaced, light is just bouncing and reflecting off all the surfaces.Ĭolour temperature of your lights is also a huge factor as well. If you’re wondering “ did she brighten the after photo?”, the answer is “ no“. Just take a look at the night and day difference.
