5. Plastic Access Panels Lightweight and often used in residential settings, plastic access panels are durable and resistant to corrosion.


The installation of a mineral fibre suspended ceiling involves several steps. First, a grid system is attached to the existing ceiling or framework, which serves as a support structure for the tiles. This grid can be adjusted to accommodate different heights, ensuring a level and aesthetically pleasing final product. Next, the mineral fibre tiles are simply dropped into the grid. This drop-in method allows for flexibility, as tiles can be replaced or repositioned with ease.


2. Cutting and Measuring Accurate measurements should be taken to cut the hanger wire to the necessary lengths. Remember to account for adjustments based on the type of ceiling tiles being used.


Budget constraints are a reality in most construction projects. PVC drop ceiling grids offer a cost-effective solution without compromising on quality. The initial investment in PVC materials is often lower than that of traditional ceiling options, and the longevity and durability of PVC translate to long-term savings. Lower maintenance costs and less frequent need for repairs or replacements further enhance its economic appeal.


3. Easy Access to Utilities

1. Planning the Layout Before installation, it is essential to plan the layout of the ceiling grid, including measurements and placement of fixtures.


Let’s face it. There is nothing attractive about the standard acoustic ceiling tiles. But at $2-$3 per 2x2 ceiling tile, should you consider using this low-cost material in your home? If you are like most homeowners, then the only room you would consider them for is the one that few guests will ever see: your basement. Unfortunately, the conditions of a basement are not favorable to mineral fiber tiles. Often, ceiling grids in a basement are used to grant access to pipes along the ceiling and when water drips from the pipes (whether from condensation or a leak in the pipe), the tile is left with a very noticeable, yellow stain. An even bigger issue is that basements can have higher moisture levels in the air, causing the tiles to age rapidly, often leading to mold and mildew issues.
