Easy-to-Follow Instructions
INSTALL WALL MOLDING COVERS
Install the wall molding covers by sliding the cover over the existing metal wall angles.
Continue to install the covers by abutting them end-to-end around the entire room.
(See Tip #1)
INSTALL 4' MAIN COVERS
Install the 4' main covers over the existing metal grid by placing them parallel to each other
every 24" on-center. The 4' main covers can be installed parallel in either direction. It is
suggested that you place the 4' main covers over the existing metal mains.
Measure and cut your first 4' main cover so the notch is aligned over the first metal grid
intersection. (See Tip #2) Install the 4' main cover by sliding the longer flange over the lip of
the existing metal grid. Then simply slide your thumb down the middle or the opposite edge
and snap the cover on. The remaining 4' main covers in that row will line up by simply
abutting the end of the next 4' main cover to the end of the already installed 4' main cover.
When each row is complete, cut the last 4' main cover so it ends at the wall bracket cover.
INSTALL THE 2' TEE COVERS
The 2' tee covers are installed perpendicular to the 4' main covers.

INSTALL WALL MOLDING COVERS

Continue to install the covers by abutting them end-to end-around the entire room.
(See Tip #1)
INSTALL 4' MAIN COVERS
Install the 4' main covers over the existing metal grid by placing them parallel to each other
every 48" on-center. The 4' main covers should be installed along the 4' side of the tile.
Measure and cut your first 4' main cover so the notch is aligned over the first metal grid
intersection. (See Tip #2) Install the 4' main cover by sliding the longer flange over the lip of
the existing metal grid. Then simply slide your thumb down the middle or the opposite edge
and snap the cover on. The remaining 4' main covers in that row will line up by simply
abutting the end of the next 4' main cover to the end of the already installed 4' main cover.
When each row is complete, cut the last 4' main cover so it ends at the wall bracket cover.
INSTALL THE 2' TEE COVERS
The 2' tee covers are installed perpendicular to the 4' main covers.
INSTALLATION TIPS
TIP 1: At each room corner, measure the distance from the last cover to the inside corner and
cut the wall molding cover at a 45˚ angle using a tin snips or a pair of scissors.
TIP 2: Starting at the wall, measure the length from the wall molding cover to the first
intersection. Using the length, measure from the start of the notch towards the end and cut
off the excess. (If the measurement is greater than 12" measure and cut from the second
notch.)
TIP 3: When installing on a 2' x 4' grid system, every-other notch on the mains will fall onto
the metal grid intersections.
