Four Tips for Replacing Drop Ceiling Tiles

1. Cover Floors: Before you start the tile replacement process, make sure to cover the floor with plastic. This will help protect your floors and keep it clean.


After the job is over, you can simply roll the plastic up and throw it in the trash. This will eliminate the need for cleanup which is always an added bonus. You'll save loads of time.

2. Wear Protective Gear: Make sure to use proper protective gear when replacing drop ceilings. Gloves, a face mask and protective eye wear will help protect you from falling objects and dust.

3. Use Existing Tile for Measurement: During tile replacement, you may also need to do some cutting to make the new tile fit perfectly into place. To get an accurate measurement, use the old tile as a guide to help you make the proper cuts.

4. Rotate to Remove: When removing tiles, climb your ladder and push up on the tile. Then carefully rotate each tile. This way you'll have enough space to safely remove the tile without causing damage to the rest of the drop ceiling.
