WHAT IS T-BAR CEILING?
T-bar ceilings (suspended ceilings and/or drop ceilings) are a very popular choice for both residential and commercial construction projects due to the number of benefits they have over traditional drywall ceilings.
It is a suspended ceiling made up of a grid of metal bars that arrange into the shape of a T. This forms the frame of the ceiling, allowing us to insert ceiling tiles or ceiling panels into the grid, creating a smooth, finished surface.
T-bar ceilings are extremely versatile, cost-effective, and can be customized to match the unique aesthetic of your space. They can offer better acoustics than traditional drywall ceilings, and maintenance is easier and is required less often, which can save you money over the long run!
Can be used in a wide range of spaces including office buildings, schools, hospitals, retail stores, and more.
Conceals ductwork, electrical wires, framing, and other visually unappealing elements in your ceiling.
Flexibility to choose the ceiling tiles that give you the look and acoustical quality your space requires.
T-bar ceilings are very cost-effective and highly customizable versus traditional drywall ceilings.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Metal bars called runners run parallel to and are attached to the ceiling joists. After all the runners are in place, cross tees that run perpendicular to the main runners are installed. This process continues until the grid is complete, at which point ceiling tiles or panels can be inserted into the grid.
While this is an oversimplification of the process, it is recommended to hire professional t-bar ceiling contractors!
While every job is unique and has its own specific requirements, drop ceilings are more cost-effective, offer better sound control, are easier to maintain, and you have more control over the aesthetics!
