What is the best way to affix drop ceiling tiles to an existing, finished drywall ceiling?
Hey there DIY I come to you with a question. I've done a bit of googling and research on this and I am simply not getting answers! I have bought a new house, and have an empty room that will become my office/gaming space. I love the dark, neon, cyberpunk aesthetic and am theming the room as such. In my effort to do something other than simply painting the ceiling a dark color, I cam across some drop ceiling tiles that look like metal paneling and come in loads of colors including things like stainless steel. (https://atilaminates.com/product/metal-plates/) What is the best way to affix drop-ceiling tiles to a standard interior painted ceiling? Everything I find says to rip the drywall out, but I would rather not do that. This room only has celling fan which I am going to replace with a nanoleaf skylight (https://nanoleaf.me/en-US/products/ceiling-lights/skylight/?category=skylight&pack=smarter-kit&size=3) so I dont think I would have any issues with the slightly deeper reach to the existing fixture. Should I simply attempt to lightly screw these into the ceiling, adhere them with tiling glue, install a drop celling grid directly to the drywall? Please help!
