How are cross tees created and installed?
Cross tees are cut to 23 3/4″ from the same 8-foot pieces used for top track and bottom runner. The cross tee rests on the CeilingLink bottom runner without being attached to the top track or having a top track of its own. About 1/4″ of the cross tee ends are supported by the bottom runner or L-Channel (see photos below). Because CeilingLink is made of PVC plastic, it is also possible to nip or cut away 1/4″ of the cross tee base that lays on the runner, so that the vertical legs of the cross tee lay on the bottom runner, and the base of the cross tee is then at the same level as the base of the bottom runner or L-Channel (see photos below). Do you sell pre-cut cross tees? We don’t currently sell pre-cut cross tees. If you are cutting a large number of cross tees, a power mitre saw or table saw with a fine-tooth blade will help do the job quickly; also, there is less waste in custom cutting the shorter cross tees used at the perimeter. What is the purpose of the 1/4″ – 5/16″ of play be
