We do not recommend installing our system in a bathroom with a shower or a tub. The excess moisture from the shower or tub will damage the tile and mouldings.
Powder rooms and laundry rooms are ok as long as they are properly ventelated.
In situations where the joists are not level, add shims (small pieces of wood) to the bottom of the clip. Then drill it into the ceiling with the shim attached.
A good shim solution is using the offcuts for the tiles.
Add or remove shims as necessary until the ceiling is level. It might be a little tricky at first, but you'll get the hang of it.
Our 64sq² kits are the best way to size a room. Simply calculate the square footage of the room (length X width) then divide it by 64.
Always round up so you have some spare parts because not every room is going to be the same. Similar to flooring, a 10% buffer is helpful, and spare parts are handy to have.
Yes, gaps are incredibly important to prevent the rails from buckling after the install is completed.
MDF is a wood product and will expand and contract with the changes to humidity/temperature. Please allow for 1/8" or 3mm per 8ft rail to allow for seasonal expansion.
We currently do not have a showroom, however you can always request a sample book which will also help figure out clearances. It's free and you can order one here!
We also have an extended cut of an install available on YouTube.
If the panels do not sit flat there are a couple things you can do. Check the rails and T bars for any debris, insulation and dust can cause them to sit unevenly.
If they are still not sitting flat, please give them some time to climatize. The Fibrex will eventually flatten out over 4-6 weeks ** confirm timeline**
It is important to leave expansion room on the rails during the installation of the system. As the MDF expands and contracts based on humidity/temperature those gaps will prevent warping.
If rails do become warped simply remove them and then cut a small length off the end. If this does not help, please contact us and we will send you replacement rails.
We've created a very detailed 10 minuite installation video that explains how to install. It also gives basic guidence on how to use the tools required.
If you still have questions after watching the video do not hesitate to give us a call or email.
Unfortunately we do not have any other colour options. However send us an email and let us know what colour you'd be interested in! If we see enough demand we can look into adding another colour to our catalog.
