You know I’m working on my basement and I wanted to share my thoughts on the product I’m using for the ceiling grid, CeilingLink. Generally, they have been very positive and I’d recommend it if you are in a similar situation.
What is it and who is it for?
CeilingLink is a direct-mount grid system for ceiling tiles. My basement has 7’2″ ceilings from floor to joist, so I needed something that would give me as much headroom as possible, being that I’m 6’5″. Classic drop ceiling was out of the question. I wasn’t interested in drywall for a variety of reasons: effort, cost, and access. With ceiling tiles, I can remove a few to access whatever I need to access that’s up in the ceiling. Plus, I’m not convinced that drywall looks much better than tiles. The other benefit is sound reduction, as ceiling tiles can help absorb some between the basement and the main floor upstairs. Finally, a lot of people leave the basement ceiling exposed. The primary reason we didn’t want to do this is spiders. There are a decent amount of spiderwebs in those joists and it feels warmer and cleaner having a real ceiling.
