How to Install 2 x 4 Drop Ceiling Tiles
- 1). Wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water and prepare a surface that is clean and free of dirt and debris to stage you tiles. Ceiling tiles are bright white and they can become dirty very easily.
- 2). Pick up your 2-by-4 drop ceiling tile and carry it up the ladder. Position it below the ceiling grid with the finished side facing down.
- 3). Tilt one corner of the ceiling tile up toward the ceiling grid to allow the ceiling tile to slide past the grid.
- 4). Position the ceiling tile so that it is horizontal. Slowly lower the ceiling tile down into the ceiling grid. It should rest perfectly flat on the bottom of the grid.
