There are 28 tiles per box. Each tile covers 0.36 square meters (0.6 m x 0.6 m), so a full box covers about 10.08 square meters in theory. Actual coverage may vary slightly due to grid and installation tolerance.

Steps: 1) Ensure you’re using a compatible lay-in ceiling grid. 2) Check the grid for level and square. 3) Drop the tile into the grid from above, aligning it with adjacent tiles. 4) Press gently to seat the tile and ensure it sits flush. 5) Trim only if necessary using safe cutting tools, keeping cuts clean to maintain a neat edge. 6) Repeat for all tiles, staggering seams for a uniform finish.

Wipe with a damp cloth or mild cleaning solution as needed. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could scratch the metal surface. The tiles are designed for durability and easy maintenance, reducing long-term upkeep.

If needed, review the vendor’s return policy for box-based purchases to ensure you can adjust quantities after purchase if your project scope changes.
