Acoustic Ceiling Systems That Control Sound and Look Professional
Acoustic ceiling tiles serve two critical functions: they reduce noise transmission between floors and spaces, and they create a clean, finished ceiling plane that conceals ductwork, wiring, and plumbing above. We install complete suspended ceiling systems including wall angles, main runners, cross tees, and tiles selected specifically for your acoustic and aesthetic requirements.
Whether you need to quiet a noisy office, improve sound quality in a home theater, or install a professional ceiling in a commercial tenant improvement, we handle the entire process from layout calculations through final tile placement.
Commercial Suspended Ceilings
We install T-bar grid systems in offices, retail stores, medical facilities, and restaurants. Our commercial installations integrate with recessed lighting, HVAC diffusers, and sprinkler heads. We coordinate with electricians and mechanical contractors to ensure every ceiling component sits flush and functions correctly from day one.
Residential Acoustic Solutions
Basements, home theaters, bonus rooms, and home offices benefit from acoustic ceiling tiles that absorb sound and reduce echo. We install residential-grade grid systems that provide easy access to above-ceiling utilities while delivering a finished look that complements your living space.
Tile Material Options
We work with fiberglass tiles for maximum sound absorption, mineral fiber tiles for balanced acoustics and fire resistance, metal-backed tiles for clean rooms and commercial kitchens, and PVC tiles for moisture-prone areas like basements and pool rooms. We help you select the right material based on your performance needs and budget.
Acoustic Ceiling Installation Expertise
Proper grid leveling is what separates a professional acoustic ceiling from a sloppy one. Every main runner and cross tee must sit at the exact same elevation so tiles lay flat without gaps or bowing. We calculate the exact grid layout before installation begins, planning for symmetrical border tiles around the perimeter so no edge looks awkwardly narrow or uneven.
We coordinate with electrical contractors to position recessed lights, access panels, and HVAC registers within the grid layout. This pre-planning eliminates field modifications, keeps tiles intact, and ensures above-ceiling systems remain accessible for future maintenance.
Grid System Installation
We install complete grid systems including wall angles secured to perimeter walls, main runners suspended from ceiling joists or deck above, and cross tees locked into precise spacing. Every component is leveled with laser instruments to ensure a flat, uniform ceiling plane across the entire space.
Sound Reduction Engineering
Not all acoustic tiles perform the same. We select tiles based on their Noise Reduction Coefficient (NRC) rating, matching the right product to your specific noise control needs. Higher NRC tiles go in conference rooms and theaters, while standard tiles work well for general office and retail applications.
Ceiling Access and Maintenance
One of the primary advantages of suspended ceilings is easy access to plumbing, electrical, and HVAC components above. Individual tiles lift out for maintenance without disturbing adjacent tiles or the grid structure. We install access panels at strategic locations for larger equipment and valve access points.
Acoustic Ceiling Tile Installation Process
Layout Planning and Measurement
We measure the space, determine ceiling height, and calculate the optimal grid layout for symmetrical border tiles. We mark wall angle positions, plan main runner locations, and coordinate placement of light fixtures, HVAC diffusers, and access panels before any hardware goes up.
Grid Installation and Leveling
Wall angles are secured around the perimeter at the planned ceiling height. Suspension wires drop from the structure above, and main runners are hung and leveled using laser instruments. Cross tees snap into the runners at precise intervals, creating the grid framework that supports every tile.
Tile Selection and Cutting
We cut border tiles to exact dimensions using clean, straight cuts that sit tight against wall angles. Tiles around light fixtures, sprinkler heads, and other penetrations are cut with precision to maintain a professional appearance. Full-size tiles drop into the grid without modification.
Installation and Final Adjustments
All tiles are placed into the grid, and we perform a final level check across the entire ceiling. We adjust suspension wires as needed to eliminate any sag or unevenness. The completed ceiling is inspected for consistent tile alignment, clean edges, and proper seating in the grid system.
