T-GRID SUSPENSION
The advantages of a suspended ceiling for homes and businesses
Suspended ceilings are a practical method of concealing the actual ceiling and all the complex duct-work, pipes, and wiring intricately attached to it. It is easy to install and remove, which is convenient when access is needed to repair the hidden wirings, pipes, and air duct systems. Suspended ceilings, also known as dropped ceilings, are the best option when you want to soundproof a space, as these naturally block the sounds resonating from the floor above it. In addition, dropped ceilings offer versatility in design as there is a variety of patterns and colours available for ceiling tiles.

Made from galvanized steel and covered with anti-bacterial coating, these T-Grid do not easily corrode, require minimal maintenance, and can last for a couple of decades or more. The Tee-Grid systems we offer are complete with the necessary accessories – wedge anchor, adjustable spring clip, hanger wires, and clips for ceilings.
