A quick way to finish the ceiling is with a foam ceiling tile. This is the most popular finishing method. Without special skills, tiles can be glued with your own hands. You can even do this alone.

Most often, you can find square tiles in the store. But there are also rectangular ones. The tile also differs in material. Gluing tiles is done in the same way in different ways.

Someone finds the middle of the ceiling and glues the tiles in the center, and then glues others. Some are glued from the corner in rows or with a shift. There is also a diagonal mounting method.

Many people think that seams between tiles do not need to be repaired. But it doesn't look very attractive and unfinished.

After gluing the tiles, it often happens that the seams do not converge clearly. This can be corrected by patching up dark, uneven joints in the foam tile. Dark seams on light colored tiles appear over time due to dust.
