Because ceiling construction such as Tectum® or acoustical tile may not be capable of supporting the Panel weight, make sure the fastener extends into a substrate or structural member capable of supporting the Panel.

! CAUTION

Never attach Wall Panels to a ceiling or horizontal surface. Wall Panels do not have drainage and can fill with water. It is not permissible to drill drainage holes in Wall Panels.
