Tiling Ceilings Made Easy
-
Protect the floor
Cover the floor below the ceiling you want to tile. This will protect the surface if any tiles or tools fall while you’re working. -
Shop for tiles
Measure the ceiling and draw a diagram of it on graph paper. This will help you when it comes to purchasing the right number of tiles. -
Mark the ceiling
Place a tile in the corner of the ceiling and draw a chalk outline around it. Repeat this process until you have a guide to follow. -
Place tiles
Fix tiles to the ceiling, pressing firmly so that the adhesive can bond. Wear eye protection to guard against any falling debris. -
Neaten up
Use cove moldings to fill the gaps between your tiles and the walls. They can save you from having to be too accurate when you cut your tiles.
