Re: Drop Ceiling Prices DONT GET ALL EXCITED


to go tight to the joist would create a headache , a few variables that should be concidered ...what type of lighting ? flourecent lights (troffets) need at least 5" of clearence. All your electrical and plumbing runs have to be thru the joist ,trying to install tile to grid tight to joist gives you a damaged edge on most of your tiles..........its not impossible its just hard ...when it does'nt have to be
