I'll be honest, I was very skeptical of a styrofoam ceiling. Our house is 110 years old and has lathe and plaster walls and ceilings. Over time, the ceiling in the kitchen has been patched multiple times and looked horrible. After part of the ceiling in the dining room collapsed, also a big patch that failed, I pulled the entire ceiling down and replaced, I wasn't really wanting to do that again in the kitchen. We looked at doing a tin ceiling, but I couldn't figure out how we would attach the panels to the plaster without destroying it, plus it's really hard to nail into the plaster it's like concrete. Then we saw these, we found a pattern that was period correct for the house and ordered. I spent weeks planning the grid as I wanted to add "can" lights to brighten the kitchen as well as add some pendant lights over the kitchen sink and island area. The original kitchen had one light fixture in the "middle" of the room. I used blue painter's tape to temporarily hold up the tiles so I could get the light placement just right. I ordered 6" LED "can" lights and they fit perfectly in the center of these tiles. After I got the light placement figured out, I started installing the tiles. I used Loctite 3x construction adhesive and started installing, they went up pretty fast. The outside edges all had to be cut to size as with any 110 year old house, none of the walls are straight. After getting all edge tiles cut and glued up, I used painter's caulk to fill in all the seams and around the walls where the tiles ended. Next I used a masonry hole saw to cut out the 5 "can" lights that I had marked, plus the 3 holes for the pendant light drops. Pulled romex to all the new fixtures and added a dimmer switch for the "can" lights. I used the existing dimmer switch for the pendants. Now, with all the tiles installed, I started painting. I used a really thick nap roller to apply the paint. The tiles actually took paint better than I thought they would, I thought the roller would slide more than it did. Covered the tiles with two coats of paint and then installed all my new lights. The "can" lights disappear into the tiles, as they are perfectly centered in the design, the only time you even see them is when they are on. Installed the new pendant lights and looked back on a really fantastic looking ceiling. The kitchen ceiling looks like it belongs in a million dollar house, I swear it looks like a plaster ceiling from a 1920's house. Next I tackle the dining room. Went with a more subtle tile with a minimal pattern. I can't wait to get that room done and see how that turns out. I'm going to add some more "can" lights in the dining room since than went so well in the kitchen. When I get that done, I'll post some more pictures of that finished ceiling.

These were pretty easy to install, just be sure to to put up a chalk line or a laser line and make sure your first row is PERFECT. Also, measure your room and make sure to adjust the grid so that when you meet the wall, you don't have small gaps to fill, rather you want to have 1/2 pieces to fill the gaps at the wall instead of 1 or 2 inch pieces. Since these are much lighter and thinner than other tiles I have used, you use much less glue, however you will want to caulk between the seams after installation, because I've found that they are not 100% square. Note: The picture I uploaded is before I caulked the seams.Also, some reviewers say you can't cut them with a utility knife. This is partially true. You can't use the POINT of the utility knife to cut, or they'll tear. Put the tile down on several sheets of cardboard, and use the middle part of a new blade and you'll have no problem cutting them. I was able to cut through a stack of 4 with no problem this way. Another option that worked OK for cutting single sheets, was a fabric cutter wheel....the one that looks like a pizza cutter. The bottom line is these are made much cheaper than some other tiles, but that makes them easier to install with less glue and honestly, easier to cut. Once they are up, they look fantastic.

These tiles are very nice we have used them before. Unfortunately this whole batch is warped and therefore will not lay flat on ceiling and are almost impossible to get to stay up! We are presently on day three of what should have been a couple hour job and we are only about half done. We have never had a problem like this before when we’ve worked with these tiles so likely just a problem with how they were stored or shipped.
