Trim-Tex EZ-Tray Kit - Manual

© Copyright 2007 Trim-Tex Inc. All Rights Reserved
The EZ Tray Kit is designed to quickly build an EZ Tray ceiling in a 16' x 16' room with a 24"
Tray Width. For larger or smaller rooms you can adjust the Tray Ceiling by cutting the EZ
Tray lengths or adjusting the Tray Width. The Kit comes with four 9' long pieces, four 24"
pre-mitered clips and 2 tubes of Trim-Tex 710 Adhesive Caulk. Use these dimensions to
figure out the size of your desired Tray Ceiling as shown in Figure A, then begin framing.
First frame out the Tray Ceiling using a high quality Construction Adhesive, and screws to
secure 2x2
to the ceiling joist or wall studs as shown. Install / " drywall to the 2x2's as
shown and cut the corners of the drywall to 24" clips as shown in Figure B. Now you're
ready to install EZ-Tray.
