R05-Spring Buds Pre-Painted Foam Glue-up Ceiling Tile in Moss Gray (129.6 Sq. ft / Pack) - 48 Pieces

I've never done anything like this, but it was easy. I purchased the glue from DCT too, although videos show putting the glue on the tile and immediately sticking it to the ceiling, I found them to unstick. So I would let the glue sit for 15-20 minutes so it becomes sticky. It also is not easy to get tiles to hold to heavy areas of joint compound, like along edges of ceiling hallway and walls. You have to add extra glue because the compound is not as porous as clean sheetrock. Also you don't want to paint prior to installing if possible. It causes the tile to warp or bend in a concave way away from the ceiling. I have not tried the tiles on some of the popcorn ceilings yet, so I am interested in starting a small job to see how that goes. New addition rooms look incredible with these tiles.

Got the results I was looking for in covering the unevenness of existing bead board ceiling in our outdoor gazebo that once held a hot tub. I like the uniformity of each styrofoam panel and ease of use. Takes latex paint very well with one coat. Found it best to brush paint the seams first and follow with the roller. I couldn't have electrical in ceiling before, because of hot tub rules, but now I was able to run electrical and make ready for a flush mount fan that's on its way. Very satisfied with my simple but efficient new ceiling.
