Installation Tips
How To
Genesis panels quickly and easily fit into almost any ceiling grid
system. For use with most 15/16-inch T-bar grid systems. Genesis
tiles are not intended for use with 9/16-inch narrow line grid
systems. Our lay-in ceiling panels are available in the same sizes as
fiber-based ceiling tiles, 2′ x 2′ and 2′ x 4′. If you are using the
standard grid size for 2’ x 2’ or 2’ x 4’ tiles, Genesis will easily install
into the existing system. There are some grids that use a “stab and
connect” system that may cause the corners of the tile to sit higher
than the rest of the tile.
To cut Genesis panels, mark and score the face of the tile with utility
knife and snap tile at cut. A circular saw or table saw can also be
used in cutting multiple tiles at once and a RotoZip or hole saw for
odd sizes shapes and circular holes – like sprinkler heads or can
lights. You may also use a metal angle ruler to score and then snap
the tile.
To clean Genesis panels, a mild soap and water solution works
well, as do most household cleaners. Just spray the cleaner onto a
clean rag and wipe. Power washing Genesis panels is also an
option, but avoid placing the spray nozzle tip too close to panel in
order to prevent damage to tile face. The tiles are unaffected by
most corrosive chemicals, but you should avoid using acidic
cleaners. Do not use abrasive cleansers to scrub.
To prevent the tiles from moving due to significant updrafts, we offer
optional hold-down clips that may be used for drafty areas or
uneven grid systems. Please contact us for additional information or
for answers to any questions that you may have.
Why Genesis is Easier
The time to make straight cuts and circular cuts is the same, but the
contractor needs to use a utility knife for the straight cuts on our
product to score and snap. No electric saw is needed for straight
cuts. For your circular cuts they need to use a hole saw – very quick
and easy.
Less tile damage during installation. With Genesis they should have
zero product damage. With mineral fiber tiles they generally
experience 10% tile damage due to dropping tile, just handling the
tile, or from trying to bow a tile to get in place.
Our tiles can be bowed to get into tight and smaller places and to
accommodate HVAC equipment above the grid without breakage.
Results in a much faster install than any of the other products. You
cannot bow the mineral fiber tiles without some breakage and the
vinyl clad tiles have very little give.
Another positive of Genesis tiles is fewer razor blades need to be
replaced. Our PVC does not dull the blade as quickly as the other
ceiling tiles.
One of the most significant positives of Genesis is that it will take
half the time to clean up after the tiles are installed – dust from
gypsum tiles or mineral fiber dust makes a mess and takes
considerable time to clean all of the equipment, counters and floors.
Contractors should be collecting the PVC scrap pieces and taking to
a local recycler rather than throwing scrap away. The recycler will
pay for this material and saves it from going into the landfill.
