Suspended ceiling tiles add dimension to a space and because they hang down and can be displayed in many different patterns. The 3-D suspended ceiling tiles are cut just like any other type of ceiling tile. With just a few tools, you can cut your 3-D ceiling tile to the size you want for your house.
Instructions
1. Measure the space where the ceiling tile will be installed. Record the measurement. Measure on the ceiling tile and mark with a pencil where it will be cut. Draw a small line at each end of the ceiling tile.
2. Line up a T-square across the ceiling tile along the marks at each end. Set a utility knife at either end and score the ceiling tile. Run your blade along the T-square to make a smooth cut. Repeat the process three or four times to make a deeper cut in the ceiling tile.
3. Remove the T-square and set one hand on each side of the tile. Pull down firmly to snap the tile in two pieces. Run the utility knife along the edges of the ceiling tile to remove any pieces that are hanging off.
4. Run your hand along the edges of the ceiling tile and make sure it is smooth. Set the tile into the opening to make sure it was cut correctly and fits into the hole.
