Questions & Answers
Is it waterproof
Thank you for the great question! CeilingMax is water resistant, seeing as it's made of PVC. If you have any additional questions, please feel free to reach out to us at 800.434.3750. Thank you!
Will a 3/4" thick tile work with these?
Thank you for the great question! A 3/4" tile is the maximum thickness allowed for the CeilingMax grid to work. If you have any additional questions, please feel free to reach out to us at 800.434.3750. Thank you!
Would I be able to install a thin recessed light such as "Halo HLBSL6 6 In. Adjustable CCT Canless lights" into the tiles using this system? I understand the junction box would need to be mounted on the joists.
Thank you for the great question! Any type of lighting that can be used with a drywall ceiling can be used with CeilingMAX. Whichever type of light you choose, you must make sure that it is mounted or suspended from the floor joist, and not resting on the tile or the grid. If you have any additional questions, please feel free to reach out to us at 800.434.3750. Thank you!
Thank you for your interest in our products! That would be dependent on the tile you plan on using for your system. Most allow for them to be cut to accommodating lighting fixtures but recommend anchoring them to a joist for additional support. Feel free to check with the manufacture of the tiles you plan to use. If you have any additional questions regarding our products, feel free to reach out to us at 800.434.3750. Thank you!

Thank you for your interest in our CeilingMAX grid system! Our system with work with any standard tile that can be installed in a 15/16" grid. Please let us know if you have any additional questions at 800.434.3750. Thank you!

Are the tiles easily removable for access with this system?
Thank you for your interest in our CeilingMAX system! To remove a tile once the ceiling grid is installed, you will first need to unsnap a runner on one side of the tile. To unsnap the runner, you will need to start at the end of the runner and pull down. The runner will pull away from the top hanger, similar to a zip-lock bag. When you have the runner unsnapped, you will then be able to rock the cross tees and remove the tile(s). After you have the runner removed, you could also back out the screw in the top hanger near the tile you would like to remove. This would allow you to twist and flex the top hanger to get the cross tee and tile out. After your work behind the tile is complete, (screw the top hanger back into place if the screw was removed), slide the tile back into place, once again rocking the cross tees, and snap the runner back into the top hanger. if you have any additional questions please feel free to reach out to us at 800.434.3750. Thank you!
