I was able to hang my panels on the ceiling yesterday. Ugghhhh.... what a pain that job was. For me, even the most simple jobs turn into a pain in the kiester.
Firstly.... I tried double sided tape which was a complete and utter failure. Tape wanted nothing to do with sticking to my ceiling!! Then it was off to Lowes for a second time(one trip is never enough if I'm working on something), and I bought a tube of "Liquid Nail" adhesive which was also a complete failure. The panels are flimsy, and it was impossible for me to eliminate all the sags & hold them in securely place long enough to make them stick. So now I have glue on my ceiling, and nothing to show for it
Finally, I nailed those suckers(panels) up. It took a bunch of tiny nails to eliminate all the sags, but I was able to finally get them up there nice and flat, and the nails are completely invisible. I told my kids if they play with, touch, or do anything to the panels....they're dead.
If someone was to pull on the panels with any force, the nails will pull right through the foam.
Visually............ they've made a drastic improvement. That portion of ceiling was very light reflective and annoying to me. With my darkened walls, the entire room melts away in the dark, but I always had an issue with that stretch of ceiling. With the panels, the ceiling completely vanishes and now I can watch movies in true darkness
Acoustically..... I have yet to give them an adequate test. I'm planning to watch "The Last Mimzy" with the kiddies tonight at appropriate SPL levels, so I should know more before the day is done. I hear that movie has an excellent soundtrack.
I'll post a few pictures later this afternoon.
