Maintenance of RITE Acoustical Ceilings

Rite Ceiling Systems require no more maintenance than painted drywall ceilings. If maintenance is necessary, certain procedures should be followed to insure continued high performance and attractive appearance. Dust and loose dirt may easily be removed by brushing or with a vacuum cleaner. Vacuum cleaner attachments such as those designed for cleaning upholstery or walls do the best job. Be certain to clean in one direction only. This will prevent rubbing dust into the surface of the ceiling. And certain marks such as from pencil etc can be removed by the use of ordinary eraser.

A. Painting When painting acoustical materials, the painter should be very careful that he/she does not close up the perforations or fissures in the material. It is through these openings in the surface that sound waves enter the body of the acoustical material and are absorbed. Care should be taken that these perforations are not clogged.

B. Cleaning Dust Remove dust by brushing lightly with a soft brush or clean cloth, or by vacuuming with soft brush attachment.

C. Washing Do not moisten tile excessively. Never soak tile with water.
