Ceiling Types
A drop ceiling is a false (or faux) ceiling consisting of an interlocking
metal grid and panels suspended from the structural ceiling. A glued
ceiling consists of tiles glued onto the surface of the structural
ceiling.
Tiles and Frames
The tile (or panel) is usually white and made of wood fiber, mineral
fiber or fiberglass. It's the square or rectangular part of the ceiling.
The frame is a part of a suspended or dropped acoustic ceiling. It's
an interlocking metal grid that hangs below the structural ceiling.
Tile Sizes
Most glued tiles are 12 x 12 inches. Suspended ceiling panels usually
come in 2 feet x 2 feet or 2 feet x 4 feet panels. The larger panel
is less expensive and takes less material to put it up. Installation
is generally faster, too.. |
