What type of ceiling are you considering? Whether it’s a drywall ceiling or drop ceiling we have a solution for you.

Drywall ceilings are pieces of sheetrock that are screwed, taped, and mudded to give a smooth finish and are most commonly found most in the upstairs of newer houses.

Drop ceiling, also called an acoustic or suspended ceiling, is a grid system that holds tiles in place on the ceiling. 

Drywall Ceilings

Installing a drywall ceiling as your basement ceiling offers two main benefits.

First, drywall ceilings require less space. Typically all that is required for a drywall ceiling is about 1.0-1.5” of thickness (height). 

You need to account for the installation of 1”x3” furring strips to the floor (ceiling) joists and then another ½” for the drywall thickness. So if your basement ceiling heights are already low, installing drywall ceilings will limit the additional headroom loss.

Disadvantages of Drywall Ceilings 

The main disadvantage of a drywall basement ceiling is that it provides poor access to pipes and wiring, and if there’s a water leak then you’ll have significant ceiling damage.

Drywall ceilings also curtail your ability to future proof your home and basement ceiling.

Drop Ceilings 

Using drop ceiling tiles for a basement ceiling has several advantages. 

First and foremost, it provides you easy access to pipes and wires running up in the main level floor joists. This can be a basement savior if and when your water pipes, tub or toilet drains spring a leak.

Secondly, drop ceiling tiles enable you to future proof your home and basement ceiling. 

If later on you decide to install new wiring, such as telephone, computer, or electrical wiring, you can easily remove the dropped ceiling tiles to run the wires in your basement ceiling. 

This is also the case if later on you decide to install a central vacuum system.

Disadvantages of Drop Ceilings 

When deciding between dropped ceiling tiles vs drywall ceilings for your basement ceiling, it’s important that you consider the height of your unfinished basement.

The one key downside of installing drop ceiling tiles is that your basement ceiling will be lower, compared to installing a drywall ceiling. 

You will need 3-4 inches of space between your main floor floor-joists and your drop ceiling tiles. If you plan on installing recessed lighting in the basement ceiling you will need an additional 2 inches.

Drop ceilings have also had a stigma of being considered a cheap alternative to drywall.

However, this stigma is dated due to the breadth of quality ceiling tile products on the market today.

Decorative Ceilings 

Ceilings aren’t limited to drywall and drop ceilings. There are many colors, styles and textures such as decorative tiles, different shapes in tiles and so many colors. Ceilings don’t have to be boring! They can actually change the whole look and feel of a room.
