Difficulty: Easy
Instructions
  1. Step 1

    First we measure the ceiling we are about to make look good.Calculate the amount of tiles we will need.Considering the fact that most styrofoam ceiling tiles are 20x20 inches we know that each tile is 2.69 sqft.So if our room is 10ft x 10ft which is 100 square feet we will need 100 / 2.69 = 37 tiles + 15 % ovarage (vaste) 6 tiles the total of 43 decorative ceiling tiles.

  2. Step 2

    Measure each side of the room and divide it by 2 ,make a mark on that figure.Repeat on each wall.Connect the opposite centers of the walls with a chalk mark.Now you have found a center of the room.Place the first tile's corner to the center and start installing the rest of the tiles.Make sure you lining up each tile.

  3. Step 3

    When you are done with all the full tiles and come to the part that you need to cut these tiles.You will need to measure each side of the space you start with and transfer that to the tile and then cut it .Make sure to dry fit each pcs before you put glue on it.

  4. Step 4

    Once the tiles are all in place you can start caulking and painting.

    All the steps mentioned above are shown in the video in this article.
