Project Specifications
Common questions from general contractors and project managers.
What grid systems do you install?
We install both 15/16-inch exposed grid and 9/16-inch narrow grid systems in standard 2x2 and 2x4 patterns. We also install specialty grids including concealed spline systems and tegular edge tiles.
Can suspended ceilings be installed in existing buildings?
Yes, suspended ceilings are commonly installed in existing buildings as tenant improvements or renovations. We coordinate with building management, work around existing systems, and minimize disruption to occupied spaces.
How do you handle lighting and HVAC integration?
We coordinate grid layout with electrical and HVAC contractors to position recessed lighting fixtures and diffusers on grid module. We ensure proper support for fixtures and coordinate final installation with other trades.
What is the typical ceiling plenum height required?
Minimum plenum height is typically 4-6 inches for basic installations, but varies based on lighting, HVAC, and sprinkler requirements. We review existing conditions and coordinate with MEP trades to determine adequate plenum depth.
