A tin ceiling adds value as well as beauty to the ceiling. While this is an interesting design element to have installed, there are some items that have to be done before this type of ceiling can be installed. This will help ensure that your installation process will go much smoother.
One of the things that you can do to prepare for the tin ceiling installation is to ensure that the lighting place is the proper place. If you have plans on moving the lighting fixtures, this process should be done before the installation happens. If you decide that you need to add more lighting in the ceiling, these fixtures should also be installed prior to the day of installation. Since the tin has to be cut to accommodate any lighting fixtures, you want to make any lighting changes beforehand.
Another thing you can do to prepare for the tin ceiling installation is to remove any popcorn that is attached to the ceiling. While many ceilings do not have this feature, some older homes will. This substance has to be removed. Since it is a messy process, this project should be tackled well before the installation date in case any repairs also have to be made to the ceiling. The tin needs a smooth surface in which to adhere to. This will help to ensure that the tile will adhere properly to the ceiling.
Take the time to cover up or remove any items in the room before the day of the tin ceiling installation. In addition, make sure the room is cleared out enough so that all areas of the ceiling are accessible. This will help to ensure that things don’t get knocked over, broken or dirty during the day. Because workers have to concentrate on areas over their head, it is safer for them if everything is removed from the area first.
These are some of the things that you should do before you have your tin ceiling installed. Take the time to ensure that no changes to the lighting are needed. Remove any obstacles on the ceiling and floor that could impede the installation. For more information on the process of installing a tin ceiling, contact Abingdon Construction.
