After marking the walls, it’s time to install the main runners, which are the long metal pieces that will hold everything up. Attach them to the wall using screws, making sure they are level. If they aren’t straight, your ceiling will look odd. Once the main runners are set, add the cross tees. These smaller pieces connect the main runners and form a grid. Make sure to space them correctly based on the size of your tiles.
