🛠️ Supplies Needed

- Ceiling tiles
- Fixing materials: plugs and screws
- Quick hangers
- Laser level or spirit level
- Drill, tin snips, utility knife, measuring tape, pencil
- Gloves and safety glasses
📐 Step-by-Step Guide
1. Determine the Height
Decide on the desired ceiling height. Take lighting, ventilation, and piping into account. Use a laser or spirit level to draw a horizontal line on all walls.
2. Attach Edge Profiles (L-profiles)
Cut the edge profiles to size and attach them along the drawn line. Make sure they are perfectly level. Cut corners at a 45° angle or use pre-made corner pieces.
3. Mark and Install Hanging Points
Mark where the hangers will go (every 120 cm). Use appropriate fasteners – eye screws for wood, impact anchors for concrete.
4. Install Main Profiles (T-profiles)
Place the main profiles into the edge profiles and hang them with the quick hangers. Check height and alignment carefully. Ensure the notches align in a straight line; trim the starting point as needed.
5. Install Cross Profiles
Place 120 cm cross profiles perpendicular to the main profiles, usually every 60 cm, to form a 60x120 cm grid. Use 60 cm cross profiles to form a 60x60 cm grid.
6. Place the Ceiling Tiles
Cut tiles to size if needed and gently place them into the grid.
🧼 Finishing and Inspection
Check that the ceiling is level. Install lights and ventilation grills. Clean the tiles with a damp cloth if needed.
💡 Tips
- Start in a right-angle corner of the room
- Use a laser set for precision
- Ask for help – profiles are long and awkward to handle alone
- Wear gloves to avoid cuts and dirty fingers
