Suspended or Drop Ceilings Installation Evansville Indiana

If you are considering a suspended ceiling or dropped ceiling for your basement and are not sure which way to go, C&J Electric and Construction, Inc. would like to offer the following helpful information to you. As drop ceiling designs see more and more popularity in recent years, they’ve proven themselves to be a stylish and practical choice for basement renovations.

If there is enough head room clearance in your basement one of the easiest ways that you can cover the ceiling is installing a drop ceiling also known as a suspended ceiling.

Suspended ceilings are made up of consist metal bars forming a grid pattern and form a letter T which are hung from wires that are attached to the joists above them.

These metal channels are snapped together and form either a 2×2 or a 2×4 square. At this point these squares are inserted with the acoustical ceiling tiles or ceiling panels that you have chosen.

There are many advantages to this type of ceiling such as, the ceiling tile panels can be accessed for wiring, any plumbing work, or duct work.

Rewiring, from a basement to another floor is no problem now, for the running of telephone or cable or TV, stereo wires and speakers or security systems or a doorbell or even Ethernet wires.

Additionally, adding insulation to the top of these panels is now an easy project. The acoustic properties which are inherent in the panels also help decrease noise levels to help keep your basement and the above rooms a little quieter.

Acoustical tiles have made great advances over the last 10yrs.

There is now a variety of acoustical tile styles, colors and grids from which you can choose. There are artistic tiles, vintage tin, wood planks, copper, faux metal, faux wood, and custom painted ceiling tiles available from which you can choose from.
