3. ഇൻസ്റ്റലേഷൻ
The Armstrong 816A ceiling tiles are designed for a standard lay-in installation within a suspended grid system. Follow the grid system manufacturer's instructions for grid assembly prior to tile installation.
3.1 Lay-In Installation Steps
- ആരംഭ പോയിൻ്റ്: Begin installing tiles from the center of the room or a designated starting point to ensure a balanced appearance.
- Placing Tiles: Gently lift each tile at an angle and carefully lower it into the grid opening. Ensure the tile rests evenly on all four grid flanges.
- Cutting Edge Tiles: For perimeter tiles or around fixtures, measure the required size accurately. Use a utility knife and a straightedge to cut the mineral fiber tile. Score the tile deeply on the finished side, then snap it along the score line. For a cleaner cut, score the back side as well.
- കൈകാര്യം ചെയ്യൽ: Handle tiles by their edges to avoid damaging the face. Wear clean gloves to prevent transferring dirt or oils to the tile surface.

4. ഉപയോഗ പരിഗണനകൾ
While ceiling tiles do not have operational functions, certain considerations ensure their optimal performance and appearance over time.
- പരിസ്ഥിതി വ്യവസ്ഥകൾ: Avoid exposing tiles to extreme humidity or temperature fluctuations, as this can lead to warping or sagging.
- ഭാരം വിതരണം: Do not place excessive weight directly on the ceiling tiles. Any items requiring suspension from the ceiling should be supported by the grid system or structural elements above.
- ആഘാത സംരക്ഷണം: Protect tiles from direct impact or sharp objects, which can cause dents or punctures.
5. പരിപാലനം
Regular maintenance helps preserve the appearance and integrity of your Armstrong 816A ceiling tiles.
5.1 വൃത്തിയാക്കൽ
- പൊടിയിടൽ: Use a soft, dry cloth or a duster to remove light dust.
- വാക്വമിംഗ്: For more accumulated dust, use a vacuum cleaner with a soft brush attachment on a low setting.
- സ്പോട്ട് ക്ലീനിംഗ്: For minor marks, gently wipe with a slightly damp cloth using only water. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the tile surface. Test any cleaning method on an inconspicuous area first.
5.2 Repair and Replacement
- Minor Damage: Small scuffs or marks may sometimes be carefully touched up with a matching white paint, if approved by the manufacturer.
- Tile Replacement: For significantly damaged, stained, or warped tiles, the most effective solution is replacement. Gently lift the damaged tile out of the grid and insert a new one following the installation steps.
