can ruin the appearance of a room more than an ugly ceiling. This may be from
age, stains, color, popcorn finish or something else that detracts from the
room’s appearance. While it costs quite a bit to hire a contractor to replace
it, doing it yourself is not only less expensive but fun to do. </span></span><br />

<ul>
<li>Prior to starting, it is important to line up your tools. These include chalk
string, staple gun, utility knife, hammer, level, metal ruler, nails,
cement/adhesive, stud finder, ladder, mild detergent, 12x12 inch fiberboard (or
type of tile you are installing), pine strips (1x3 inches), molding (if desired)
and a clean broom. Before beginning, remove the light fixtures.</li>
<li>There are many different types of ceiling tiles available that involve complete
instructions. These include Styrofoam, copper, aluminum, stainless steel,
perforated stainless, brass, Faux Stone Panels, Tin Nail-up or glue Faux Tin.
The choice depends on the type of ceiling you have and the finish
desired. </li>
<li>To have a beautiful, self-installed, ceiling, it is essential to be precise in
tile and ceiling measurement. The number of tiles required can be determined by
measuring the square footage of the ceiling and then measuring the square
footage of the tile. This is essential to assure tiles are even across the
room. </li>
<li>You will have to use your straight edge to cut the edges of a tile that is too
large. Always, check for a fit prior to applying glue. It is important to order
extra tile in case of a cutting error. </li>
<li>Attaching tiles with adhesive, such as Liquid Nails or contact cement, is one
of the easiest applications. Adhesive application is not recommended if the
ceiling has peeling paint, popcorn finish or loose plaster. If the ceiling is
greasy or dirty, washing with half gallon of water and 1 cup of ammonia will
produce a smooth clean surface, which will allow the tiles to remain secure. </li>
<li>Determining the number of tiles required is made by is measuring the square
footage of the room and the tile. Easy DYI instructions are available on the
Internet, which explain the simple steps to follow.</li>
<li>Proper installation of ceiling tiles depends a great deal on the wall studs.
These are located by the use of your stud finder tool. This is especially
important when installing furring strips which must be installed with nails.
After the tiles are installed, placing molding around the room produces a
beautiful finish. Always be sure the molding is a color that compliments the
installed tile. </li>
</ul>
