CeilingLink is attached to existing drywall or tongue & groove tiles using longer drywall screws to reach the joists or furring that the existing drywall or tongue & groove tiles are attached to. What length of drywall screws should be used? 7/8″ or 1″ screws are sufficient to attach CeilingLink directly to joists or furring. 1 1/2″ or 1 5/8″ screws are sufficient to attach CeilingLink to existing 1/2″ drywall or tongue & groove tiles. In general, if CeilingLink is installed over existing drywall or other material, add 1″ to the thickness of existing material to determine screw length, which must be long enough to anchor CeilingLink securely into the joist or furring that the existing drywall or other material is attached to.

In small spaces less than the 24″ width of a ceiling panel, CeilingLink may be used on one or two
