How to fit ceiling cladding?

The best way to fit ceiling panels is to use screws, so make sure that your ceiling can be screwed into. If this isn't possible, consider fitting wooden battens first that can be screwed into. When you put the first panel up, screw into the groove section. Then, when you slide the tongue of the next panel into place, it'll cover up the head of the screw. (If you're using battens, run the panels in the opposite direction so as to screw into them where they cross over.) If you're planning on using coving or edge trim, this should go up beforehand along three sides of the ceiling (assuming the room has four walls) - you'll need the last one 'open' in order to get the panels in. Use adhesive to fix the trim. Because you're screwing the panels in, the coving won't be load-bearing. For the last length of coving, you'll want to cut the back section off (i.e. the part that usually clips around the panel) and stick it in place onto the panel using the adhesive.

PVC ceiling cladding is easily fixed onto battens or even direct to and existing ceiling. In short the ceiling panels are normally fixed with screws through a lip on each panel, the screw fixings are then hidden when the next panel is put in place. The perimeter is finished with either a cove or and edge trim. Hope this helps.
