DECIDING ON DROP CEILINGS OR DRYWALL FOR YOUR BASEMENT CEILING
• Benefits of a Drop Ceiling
• The main reason homeowners and business owners rely on this type of ceiling is to provide convenient access to the ceiling and all the components of that space . With drywall you have to cut away the ceiling to get to pipes and other fixtures , and for many people this isn ’ t ideal . Work takes longer and becomes more expensive if you run into any issues . A drop ceiling also creates a more intricate pattern on the ceiling as compared to drywall , which can make things look more interesting .
• Benefits of Drywall Ceiling
• While drop ceilings have long been the ceiling option of choice in finished basements , they are becoming much less popular over time . That ’ s because they look outdated and often less attractive than drywall alternatives . Not only that , but they take away some of the precious height in your basement . Drywall is low profile and leaves you with as much height as possible in your home . That means that you can create the tallest basement possible with drywall . A good drywall ceiling also looks more modern than a drop ceiling , which is a nice benefit to homeowners that are trying to update their space as much as possible .
