Installing tin tiles in a ceiling is similar to installing a fiber tile onto a ceiling. You can install them using a track, or glue them to the ceiling. Eventually, when you complete a row of tiles, or you get to the final row, you will need to trim the tile to fit the available space. With a pair of tin snips you can make short work of this process.
Instructions
1. Measure the available space left for your tile with a tape measure.
2. Place the tape measure onto the tin tile and mark your measurements on the tile. Make sure you position the marks to follow any patterns embossed in the tile.
3. Place a straight edge on the tile and scribe a line with a marker to denote the line you need to cut.
4. Cut the line using a pair of tin snips. Tin snips work like a pair of scissors. Follow the line to ensure a proper fit.
