Direct-mount ceilings help you add design and style to your home or office area. They can be used in nearly any area, but there are some places that are better for these products.
Let’s take a look at some of the best rooms for direct-mount ceiling grids so you can make an informed, confident decision for your residential or commercial space...
Any Area with a Low Ceiling
If you have any rooms with a low ceiling that need a new look, a direct-mount ceiling would be perfect. By installing a direct-mount ceiling instead of a drop ceiling, you can save as much as a foot of overhead space, leaving you with a room that is more spacious and comfortable. Whether you are remodeling a home or want to maintain a spacious appeal in an office, direct-mount ceilings help you achieve your goals.
Basement Living Rooms
Basements are one of the most common places for direct mount ceiling grids, and living rooms or recreation areas are perfect for these products. The basement living room is often a place for enjoying movies, sports, and television shows, but if the volume is high, it can be a nuisance for people upstairs.
Direct-mount ceiling grids with noise-reduction tiles, however, are excellent, as they can keep noise from reaching the upstairs area. When installed properly, a direct-mount ceiling grid allows for convenient access to pipes and wires while keeping sound from traveling between two levels of the home.
Offices
Many office spaces use drop ceilings, but a direct-mount system may be perfect for your needs. If you don’t have vents and pipes running below the joists, a direct-mount ceiling grid will provide the aesthetic value you want while creating superior sound protection.
Privacy is essential in professional office settings, and you can reduce noise between offices by installing a direct-mount ceiling grid to the ceiling or even the walls!
Home Theaters
A home theater calls for speakers, DVD connections, projectors, and more. All this means there will be many wires running back and forth. With a direct-mount ceiling grid, you can run wires throughout the room while maintaining a clean, uncluttered appearance. No matter what technology comes up in the future, you’ll have the structure needed to run all of your wires and connections.
Vaulted Ceilings
A vaulted ceiling tilts upwards to the peak of the home. It provides depth and dimension to the room and is a popular choice for living rooms and kitchens. However, you can’t install a drop ceiling on a vaulted ceiling, as the angle keeps the hanging-wire system from working properly.
Fortunately, a direct-mount ceiling can be used on a vaulted or angled ceiling. Not only with this give you greater design versatility, it will provide a unique checkered appearance that many people love.
