Installations
Glue-Up Ceiling Tiles
1. Before starting the installation, surface must be dry, smooth and free from dust, grease, wax,
and other particles*.
2. Measure the area to be covered to determine how many tiles you will need. Draw a plan to
visualize how the edges and corners will work. When drawing your plan, it is best to center
MirroFlex panels on the ceiling leaving equal margins on opposite sides of the room.
3. Now transfer the plan to the ceiling snapping chalk lines to help you keep the tiles aligned.
4. MirroFlex ceiling tiles should be installed from left to right, starting at the farthest point away
from the room entrance. When overlapping 4 MirroFlex panels, it is necessary to cut a ½” notch
in panel numbers 2 and 3 to avoid an overlap buildup that causes a “bump” (see sketch 2).

5. Carefully apply the adhesive to the ceiling (or wall for 2’ x 2’ wall applications) and lay up your
first tile applying pressure as you hold it. (If installing a tile with protective masking, you can
remove it at this step of the installation. Make sure the tile is straight before you continue with
the next one.
6. Repeat this process, working left to right (and removing the protective masking after installing
each panel, if applicable). When finished, use a paint roller on an extension pole to apply
additional pressure to the ceiling. Filler strips can be installed around the perimeter of the room
if desired.
* 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.
