I love this idea. It has to be more economical than a dropped Armstrong ceiling. Thanks for the design tips!

Great idea. I am just about ready to do my basement and I was torn between a finished drywall or dropped ceiling. This definitely gives you an accessible ceiling at the fraction of the cost of dropped ceiling tiles.

BOOM!!! This is JUST the idea WHEN I needed it!! Scenario: Basement in old home (1952!) with cast iron pipes and traditional 1'x1' tiles... Kitchen sink and bathroom issues on main floor have caused water damage and constant access to ceiling in that part of the basement; I need a way to access ceiling while also modernizing the basement; this seems ideal!!

Nice video. I’m about to build roughly the same thing. I was going to suspend the 2x4 frame so that the panels have space to be picked up and slide to either side. Would love to see a part 2 where you show installation and removal of the panels. Also I was going to use 2’x4’ drywall panels to minimize the number of cuts and use full sheets. I could do 2x2 but that will add more framing and panels to cut…

Thanks! The panels pop in similar to a suspended ceiling, easier actually because the ribs can move. Now that I think about it, it might make sense to put the panels up first, then the ribs. 2x4 panels will look good!

@@Schanizzle Now that I think about it, I can't do it like you have here because my copper pipes are run below the joists... what a pain. I'll have to stick with my original plan of suspending the 2x4 grid. Yours came out great, hopefully I can get mine to look nice.

Questions for you. Did you pre drill the 2x4's? Were the 2x4's closest to the walls offset so the 1x's were centered? Thanks
@Schanizzle
Жыл бұрын
The fasteners I used for the 2x4s didn't require predrilling and I didn't have any issues with them. Yes, offset was to center the 1xs. Let me know if you have any other questions!

You are right, in hindsight I should have included that. It's not much different than a suspended ceiling, just tilt and fit. I'll do a follow up eventually. Thanks for the feedback!

So how much do you countersink those 4 inch screws on the 2x4s? Really those are holding up the entire ceiling. I would recommend a 5 inch screw.

Well its been a year and there is no sagging, and I could hang on them with no movement when installed. I have engineered joists', so maybe that helps

Little late but...... Did you cut the beveled sides off because you didn't think they'd look right? Or you thought they'd sag? Looks good!!

What size were your squares of drywall?

On the sides, 27.5 x 24", and the middle was 27.5 x 32". Beyond 3", I think you'd need bracing to prevent warping but that is a guess.

Lose a lot of ceiling height with this method vs drywalling the ceiling the standard way. Unless you have a higher than typical basement ceiling this will make the room feel much smaller.

Lost 4.5 inches. A small amount to lose for such a beautiful look! A traditional drop ceiling would not have saved but an inch or so.
