## Community Q&A

**Q: Is there any way I can see one tile alone and a video to install  it.** *(in Product Questions)*

I would like to see front and back of one panel and a video of how to install  it. 
Thank you

A: Also, here is a photo of the back of a panel  so that you can see how it lays out with the engine and wires contained within.

**Q: strength** *(in Product Questions)*

Can recessed lights be installed in the centers without bowing?

A: Can lights should actually be supported by the ceiling grid. Installing canned lighting with Ceilume tiles isn't an issue. Here's a link to Ceilume's information on lighting. Take a look at the video within the Recessed Lighting section - this should answer all of your questions. If not, let me know and I can clarify.

Please let me know if you have any additional questions.

Thanks!
Amy

**Q: Can these tiles be glued?** *(in Product Questions)*

A: No these panels have to be laid in grid.  They are very thin and have upturned edges for stability to not sag so they not glue flat.  There are other thicker PVC panels we carry that are intended for glue up though.  They are closer to $7-8 per tile vs this one we list for $5.25 but they are stronger and intended for glue up and the same pattern here if that is what you are looking to do and dont want grid

**Q: How are these installed, glue?  Can they be put on a garage ceiling?** *(in Product Questions)*

A: They can not be glued.  These are layin tiles that go in regular 15/16th ceiling grid

**Q: How many pieces in a box?** *(in Product Questions)*

It say 1 box covers 80sqft. 
One tile is 2sqft so there are 40 tiles in a box ?
Is true?

A: Each tile is 4 sf and there are 20 per box

**Q: would this work well as a kitchen backsplash?** *(in Product Questions)*

Wall tile as well?

A: No this product should only be used a lay-in ceiling tile.  It would look distorted and like a funhouse mirror if glued up.  We dont recommend it
