Attach Wall Brackets and Top Hangers
After measurements and room prep, there are 5 simple steps to installing your CeilingMAX grid system. Step 1: Attach the Wall Brackets. The 8-foot Wall Brackets are installed around the perimeter of the room. Using drywall screws, the Wall Brackets are mounted to the floor joists or finished ceiling. Step 2: Fasten the Top Hangers. The Top Hangers come in 8-foot lengths and are installed perpendicular to the floor joists using drywall screws.
Install Cross Tees
Step 3: Install Cross Tees. Install the remainder of the Top Hangers, utilizing the 23-inch Cross Tees as spacers. Using the components together is a quick and easy way to ensure a seamless and accurate measurement between rows of Top Hangers. Don’t need a full Top Hanger or Cross Tee? The CeilingMAX grid components are made of vinyl. Simply cut the components down to size with a tin snips!
Insert Ceiling Tiles
The CeilingMAX system works with any standard 2ft x 2ft or 2ft x 4ft ceiling tile. Step 4: Installing Tiles. When the Top Hangers and Cross Tees are properly assembled, the Cross Tees will rock from side to side. Simply rock the cross tee as you set the tile in place.
Snap Runners into Hangers
Step 5: Snap in the Runners. The Runner is an 8-foot component that essentially locks your grid system in place. This component is designed to snap in AND out of the Top Hanger. Need to remove a tile after you’ve completed your ceiling? Not a problem! Simply unsnap the Runner from the Top Hanger and remove the tile. When finished with your work, slide the tile back in place and snap the Runner back into the Top Hanger.

As others mentioned, recommend avoiding mounting directly to joists without having first run furring

Overall I'm pretty happy with the system. The concept is well tought, but could use some improvement. Runners are way too hard to snap, it's almost impossible to install between joist without supporting the top hanger. Also, like mentionned by other, this is kind of flemsy, so installing this alone was quite a challenge.My advice : take your time to make a perfect first line, then align a laser perpendicular with one define notch (in my case the center of the room). I found that marking a chalk line at 22-1/2'' from the previous line was the way to go. Those things are precise so if you're off 1/16'' it will just follow you the rest of the room. With the chalk line, you can make sure you are as straight as possible and if you have a little kink in the line, just cut the cross tee a little (tiles are quite loose, don't worry).Last thing, some cross tees are not flush to the runners, some are pretty nice, some are not, eventhough I made sure they were perfectly installed each time. I believe it's made from a possible twist to the hanger, I don't know.Thanks for selling this on Amazon, the package came perfectly and I'm glad my girlfriend likes the result ;) That's what's important right ?

Flimsy. Don’t expect a refund if you have already tried installing.

Not quite as easy as they said it was to install but certainly looks good when finished
