Home Renovations....Ceiling question?
I m very new at this and I have no idea what I am doing. I m looking into ceilings for our basement, which right now just has the beams and you can see the duct work and stuff. My husband said that we wouldn t be doing a suspended ceiling, but rather would be doing a ceiling where you just staple or stick or somehow put the ceiling tiles directly onto the wood beams. I m trying to price it out and see the options, but I have no idea what kind of ceiling this actually is? Is it a lay in? Is it a drop down? What is it?
Thanks!

If you want a suspended ceiling or false ceiling in the house or rooms, you really should speak to KP Ceilings Ltd – we are experts in suspended ceilings and have a wealth of knowledge and experience at our fingertips.
You may have heard the term dropped or drop ceiling as well as false or suspended ceiling. These terms all basically mean that an extra Layer is installed below the original.
A suspended ceiling can be used for many reasons – for example to improve the acoustic quality of a room – i.e. soundproofing, or to cover up a damaged or messy originalroof, instead of having the mess and expense of ripping out the original.

Any ceiling that will cover up the duct work and wires and pipes that are there would have to be a kind of drop down or suspended ceiling. Why? Because you can't stick tiles for the new celing to a flat surface below the wiring that isn't currently there.
