Installing Trusscore on a Drywall Grid Ceiling
This guide provides installation recommendations when installing Trusscore Wall&CeilingBoard as part of a drop ceiling application using a drywall grid.
Recommendation
Drywall ceiling grids are designed for materials to be fastened by screw. As Trusscore Wall&CeilingBoard is also designed to be installed in this manner, please consider the following:
- Install the panels perpendicular to the drywall grid (preferably main tees/beams).
- Trims can be installed directly into main tees/beams and cross tees.
- Panels must be fastened into the grid from below, they cannot be dropped into the grid in this application.
- The grid should be arranged so the panels and trims are fastened a minimum of 24" on-center directly into main tees/beams and cross tees.
- A #12 x 3/4" pan head stainless steel screw is suggested for fastening.
Following these guidelines will allow you to utilize Trusscore Wall&CeilingBoard panels for this versatile application.
