Installing Trusscore on a Drywall Grid Ceiling Technical Guide

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.
