Recessed tiles are flush tiles, except the tiles are hanging a little below the railings. ::Image[]{src="https://api.archbee.com/api/optimize/6swSwg1BT-BlfEPtYJhxM/2wCU6XwMp8CkXqG8THm-G_whatsapp-image-2024-12-23-at-102947.jpeg" size="44" width="500" height="365" position="center" darkWidth="500" darkHeight="365" showCaption="false"} Order the below separately 1. **AP Mount + Long Screws (Non-removable "C" Bracket) (NILE-AP-MNT6)** 2. **T-bar scissor clips (Minerallac - NILE-MNT2-CLIPS**) ::Image[]{src="https://api.archbee.com/api/optimize/6swSwg1BT-BlfEPtYJhxM/LF_5kHg_yRRu26H3ji0U3_screenshot-2025-03-03-at-151149.png" size="82" width="2364" height="1284" position="center" darkWidth="2364" darkHeight="1284" showCaption="false"} ## Flat Ceiling 1.
