Lay-In Ceiling Tiles
1. Count how many tiles you will need for the installation. For panels that need to be trimmed, use
the mineral tile as a template and using your marker and utility knife (razor, scissors, etc.) score
the MirroFlex tile to size and then snap the pieces apart.
2. Install the Grid Max covers to the t-bar suspension grid to allow for a seamless look on your
ceiling. Be sure to install all the 4 foot Main covers first and then install the 2 foot or 4 foot Tee
covers. The Main covers already come with sections notched out where the Tee grid crosses
under it.
3. After all the covers are in place, begin to install all the panels into the suspension grid.
4. If making room for a ceiling lamp, be sure to cut out an opening on the tile where the lamp will
be attached.
Backsplashes
1. Before starting the installation, surface must be dry, smooth and free from dust, grease, wax,
and other particles*.
1. Measure the area to be covered horizontally to determine how many tiles and how many
adhesive rolls you will need across (if using adhesive strips) and then measure the height of
your backsplash to determine if any trimming is necessary.
2. Apply desired method of adhesive, according to manufacturer’s instructions.
3. Starting at the left side of your backsplash, place tiles with some pressure to ensure a strong
hold. (Be sure to remove protective masking if your tiles came with one). As you work from left
to right you want to make sure that the flat edge is always on the right.
4. Make sure to apply a bit of your selected adhesive over the flat edge and the wall between tiles
for extra hold.
5. Carefully apply your second tile making sure to line them up correctly and apply pressure to the
tile for a strong bond.
6. Continue this process until you reach the last tile. Depending on the size of your backsplash,
you may need to cut the last tile to fit. If so, measure the area and the tile and then use your
straight edge and marker to mark the cut line. Using your scissors or utility knife, cut firmly on
the decorative side of the tile and snap the pieces apart—note: if your tiles came with protective
masking you must cut from the backside.
* The method you choose for cleaning prior to application must be compatible with the surface you are cleaning
(e.g. denatured alcohol, degreaser, soap & water, TSP, Greased Lightning, etc.). Check the manufacturer’s label
directions for instructions on using the product.
