Installing Gypsum Ceiling Ornament & TilesInstalling Ceiling OrnamentIt is important to plan a ceiling layout first on paper. Forceiling ornament, it is customary to leave from 6 to 12inches as a border between the cornice and the perime-ter ornament. Before fastening any ornament in place,lay out the ceiling with chalk lines, finding centers andlaying out grids and outlines as appropriate.

A gypsum adhesive, such as Sheetrock 90, made byUnited States Gypsum Company, is recommended forthe installation of ceiling ornament. Galvanized finishingnails are used to hold pieces in place while the adhesivesets. Nails are set on alternating 5 degree angles into theceiling. They can either be placed through pre-drilledholes or simply on either side of (small) pieces and laterremoved.

Small pieces of ornament can be affixed using white glue.

Nail holes and joints are filled and blended using a sand-able, paintable, non-shrinking filler.
