Transform an Old Drop Ceiling Grid
You can easily update your old suspended ceiling – and you don’t have to tear out your existing ceiling grid. Use your existing 15/16" grid and EASY UPclips to transform your old, outdated drop ceiling into a beautiful wood look ceiling!
Step 1
Remove panels
Step 2
Snap on EASY UP clips
Step 3
Position WOODHAVEN Ceiling Planks; slide and secure clips
Note: Existing grid must be 15/16-in. EASY UP clips (sold separately) must be used for the retrofit installation. Screws and clips included in the WOODHAVEN package are only used where grid intersections interfere with the installation of an EASY UP clip. Check out the last page of the full WOODHAVEN Plank Installation Instructions for more details.
