I wanted some extra material to drive those long screws into. The screws that come with those covers are about 3″ long and the planks are less than 1/2″ thick. I also held a scrap of wood above the planks while driving in the screws that secured the vent cover. In hind sight, I probably didn’t need to because once I screwed the grill in place, it would have held the boot in place….but anyway). I attached a block of wood to the vent to keep it positioned, flush with the planks. Obviously, I wasn’t going to use the existing, big, 2’x2′ drop ceiling vents! When I did have to move the ladder (a couple times), I just pushed the clips in on the right side, got down and moved my ladder, then pushed in the rest of the clips.
#WALL ALONG EDGE OF SPACE DROP CEILING INSTALL#
The planks are 84″ long and I could install one full plank all by myself without moving the ladder, if I place it correctly. All by myself! One person ceiling installation is a game changer. Once that first row was in, the rest of the planks tapped into place really easily. Then, I secured these planks to the grid with screws so they wouldn’t move around as I tapped subsequent rows in place. Awesome! Installing WoodHaven Planks to Drop Ceiling Gridįor the first row, I used a laser level to ensure the whole row ran in one solid line.
When the ceiling is finished, there aren’t any visible fasteners or nail holes to fill.Ī great thing about the clips is that you can install and remove the WoodHaven planks easily if you make a mistake (or realize you need to resize your light hole for the third time), you can just back the clips up, take the piece down, and go trim the piece again. The Easy Up clips snap onto the grid and have a hook that slides into the groove on the planks to secure them. The magic of this system is in the Easy Up clips which fit onto a 15/16″ grid.
