Drop Ceilings
When choosing the best drop ceiling tiles for your room,
think about the finished project and how you want it to look. If you are
looking to hide duct work and things in your basement ceiling, lower the
ceiling in your home to save on utility bills. Some drop ceiling styles
will help insulate and absorb sound, and all drop ceiling styles are
fire resistant.
There are several types of drop ceiling tiles to choose from:
Gypsum is like drywall.
It's made by pressing minerals made into dense,
semi-rigid sheets and squares. These are really good in your basement or
any other room in your home.
Plaster drop ceiling tiles are very formal.
You can leave these tiles as they are, or paint them to
fit your decor. These work great in formal living spaces.
Fiberglass drop ceiling tiles are the least expensive.
Paint does not stick well to these. These are good in a
basement for an economical way of finishing the ceiling.
Metal and PVC drop ceiling tiles are the newest types.
They offer a lot of choices and a wide price range.
These are great in kitchens.
Having a general idea of the look and feel you wish to attain in the
room, will be the deciding factor on the actual tiles that you choose.
