Getting the grid level

Level, not parallel to the floor

Basement slabs are rarely flat and joists are rarely level. A grid set to either will look wrong.

How it is set

A laser line around the room, and every hanger set to it. A grid that is out by a small amount over an Mactaggart room reads clearly at the wall angle, which is the line the eye follows.

Drop ceiling against drywall in a basement

An honest comparison

Drywall gives a flush modern ceiling and better sound isolation; a grid gives access and easier repair. Drywall costs more height in some spots and less in others.

How we advise

If the mechanical above is straightforward and the room is a living space, drywall usually wins. If there are valves and cleanouts overhead, the grid earns its keep.

Working around ducts, beams and pot lights

Basements are obstacle courses

An Mactaggart basement ceiling has bulkheads, ducts and beams that the grid has to negotiate.

How they are handled

Either boxed and finished before the grid, or the grid stepped around them. Both need deciding at layout, because the tile module and the obstruction rarely line up by luck.
