When installing ceiling tiles, where is the best starting point for the installation?

The best starting point for installing ceiling tiles is in the center of the ceiling. This approach ensures that the tiles are evenly distributed across the ceiling, which helps maintain a symmetrical and aesthetically pleasing appearance. By starting at the center, you can work outward toward the walls, ensuring that any cut tiles at the edges will be consistent and less noticeable. This technique also accounts for any irregularities in the ceiling's structure, as it allows you to minimize the visual impact of these issues as they are less likely to be noticeable in the center.

Starting in the corners or along the walls can lead to uneven tile placement, especially if the ceiling itself is not perfectly square or level. This could result in larger gaps or uneven tile sizes at the edges, which are more visible and detrimental to the overall look of the installed tiles.
