Putting a plan to action, to assure your satisfaction!

Don’t Leave Vents and Wiring in Plain Sight

CREATE A FINISHED LOOK WITH BASEMENT CEILING INSTALLATION IN THE CEDARTOWN, ALPHARETTA, MARIETTA & DOUGLASVILLE, GA AREA

The ceiling in your basement deserves just as much attention as the walls, floors and furniture. Exposed light fixtures and air ducts will make your basement look unfinished. Suspended Ceilings Atlanta offers basement ceiling installation services in the Cedartown, Alpharetta, Marietta & Douglasville, Georgia area. We’ll work with you to design a ceiling that complements your light fixtures.

The installation process is as follows:

A metal grid system is installed
Border tiles are fitted and marked
Lighting, HVAC and acoustical systems are installed
Ceiling tiles are added

If you’ve hired electrical or mechanical contractors, we can work with them to make sure your ceiling is installed properly.

THE BENEFITS OF A DROP CEILING

Drop ceiling installation is a popular choice for basements. Drop ceilings use a grid system to suspend a series of fitted tiles. This creates a look similar to many offices. Drop ceilings are affordable and clean looking. They’re also easy to install and can be modified to fit the other features of your basement. Tiles are easy to replace and remove, so you can make repairs to your ceiling, ductwork or wiring whenever you need to.

Call 770-403-7044 now to schedule a drop ceiling installation in Cedartown, Alpharetta, Marietta & Douglasville, GA or surrounding areas.

Installation Process

Step one: A lightweight metal grid system is installed. The grid must be installed before the electrician can install the lights. Commonly, the electrical and mechanical (heating and air conditioning) are “roughed” in before the grid is installed. Roughing in means that the majority of the wires, conduit, pipes, duct, etc. are installed below the joists. It usually involves all of the work that is not seen in the finished area. It is much easier to rough in before the grid is installed.
Step two: The ceiling tile (or drywall, if using suspended drywall grid system) is installed. Each border tile must be cut to exactly fit the wall. No two border tiles are the same (especially if the tile is a reveal edge product). Sometimes the grid and border tile are installed as a 1st phase, and the full tile are installed in a later phase. This enables the electrician and/or mechanical contractor a chance to finish installing lights, registers, alarms, etc.

When is a drop ceiling installed?

In the basement finishing process, drop ceilings are usually installed towards the end of the project. For acoustical ceilings, the walls need to be framed, dry wall and finish work completed, and at least the 1st coat of paint applied to walls. Usually, if painting walls are part of the “project”, the 2nd/last coat of paint is applied after the ceiling, just ahead of the carpet. Carpets and furniture are the last items. If you choose the suspended drywall grid system, the drywall grid is installed after the other trades are roughed in, but before drywall is installed on walls. The reason for this is that drywall ceilings should be supported by the drywall on the walls. Install lid first, the drywall attached to walls should fit snuggly up against sheetrock on ceiling for extra support. See our “Suspended Drywall Grid” page for more information.
