Toggle anchors or screws into joists for cable anchors; adhesive alone is not enough overhead.

  • Use at least two cables per cloud and two per baffle; four for clouds over 24 × 48 in.
  • Use anchors rated for at least five times the product weight overhead.
  • Use adjustable cable grippers so you can level each product.

Overhead installations should be checked by a qualified installer. Never hang from sprinkler pipes, ducts, conduit or the T-bar grid.
