ABSTRACT:
Disclosed is a system for covering installed ceiling tiles without removal of the tiles from the ceiling. The system includes a novel facing for covering an installed ceiling tile, a method of applying the facing to the face of an installed tile and apparatus for carrying out the method. The novel facing includes a panel of at least semi-rigid material having a decorative surface, an underside surface and a flexible border which extends at an angle from and about the periphery of the decorative surface. The panel's underside surface is prefit to cover the face of an installed ceiling tile and is provided with selectively located pins which project from the underside surface of the facing. The disclosed method includes providing the aforementioned decorative facing and marking the face of the tile to provide selectively located marks on the face of the tile which are capable of aligning with the facing's selectively located pins to center the facing on the tile. After marking the tile, the decorative facing is positioned up against the tile so that its pins are in contact with and aligned with the alignment marks provided on the face of the tile. The facing is then struck by an operator with his fist or a mallet to drive the aligned pins into the tile to secure the facing to the tile. A multi-punch adaptor for attachment to the punch shaft of a pneumatic impact gun is also disclosed. The adaptor enables a plurality of selectively located marks to be make simultaneously on the face of an installed ceiling tile.
