In the south we have a lot of unvented propane heaters. I have noticed over the years that the moisture the propane emits eventually is absorbed into the tile causing the tiles to fail due to the added weight especially during harsh winters due to more heat usage. A lot of people put thin wide strips on the seams and screw them in.
I have a tile ceiling that needs to be painted, but alot of the tiles are sagging or needs replaceing. I found that if you use a fender washer and a dry wall screww these two really hold up the tile. If you are not going to paint it, paint the washers as close to the ceiling color as you can.
That is what my brpther did and it worked awesome. The other side of my ceiling has fallen down because I couldn't get to the hardware store to get screws and washers, so I am going to put them back up with the screws and washers and then put some sort of treatment ovee it. I actually found a corrugated cardbpard celing video that ended up beautiful. I don't know what I will do, yet, but I will have to cover it with something.
Why would you not staple/screw on the flat edge that will be hidden instead of doing it right thru the face? I mean it kind of looks like a hack job and more work involved to paint and hide the screw when you could just do it right the first time
Excellent suggestion! I believe in this instance the stud was where I place the screw, and I wished to have a solid anchor for the tile. But certainly, your idea is great if the circumstances line up correctly.
Where did you purchase your ceiling tiles? Do you know the manufacturer or brand name? I have a couple I need to replace and have no idea where to get them.
Is there an ideal spot to add a hook with these tiles? I have these in my home and all the other ceiling tiles I’ve encountered, you can lift them up and reposition them. I’m lost with these tiles.
Not really. If you're hanging something light like a party streamer then anywhere would work. I wouldn't hang a plant or a light fixture. However, usually there is a wooden framework above the tiles. If you can locate one of those with a stud finder or by probing, that would be a better location which could handle more weight.
I had my new ceilng installed just a few years ago and it is already sagging in one area. I will not screw it in. I will take it all out if I have to and redo it.
Hate these tiles also! So thin and are breaking apart where I need to staple them will not hold. Armstrong ceiling tiles. Possible defective or say rotted from being stored on the shelf at the store? Redid my whole kitchen ceiling 3/4 of them came down within about 9 months. Any other suggestions not using these tiles that would attach to small beams across the ceiling? I paid a contractor to do this unfortunately he passed away and I do not want to pay out much again. An old home and will only be there for another 2-3 not looking for perfection.
Maybe back the ceiling tiles with thin veneer wood, glue with silicone. Then you are screwing up through the veneer. 1/8 in sheets of veneer at Home Depot, etc.
@@donaldkasper8346 thanks for the feedback. Yes I spoke to someone at Home Depot who suggested such. Wanted to do this in first place and was talked out of it. Live and learn!
