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 That’ s because they look outdated and often less attractive than drywall alternatives.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.
