Drop ceilings make it easy to rewire devices and check for leaks etc. Just keep some tile spare in case you dont find them later in stock.

great video I'm an interior architecture student and am watching this to understand how suspended ceilings work. Very helpful

[hamzannadim]

Very useful now I know I shouldn’t do this myself

Thank God, 4 u and ur instructions, I'm having my ceiling done because the old form tile has fallen out, people just want money and what u 2 go with their idea, I have my own....Thank you, I know now what he is talking about...

Great video on the how-to! Gives me better insight. Thanks for the tutorial.
Cracks me up, though...the beginning of the video recommends safety glasses, yet at the 4:40 mark we're told to bend suspension wires at a 90 degree angles. So when safety glasses REALLY should be worn to prevent an eye being poked out, the demonstrator isn't wearing any. 🙃

Thanks so much for this video! Showed me exactly how to hang the ceiling!

I always put the middle tiles first, then at the end the edges, this will ensure that the ceiling is square and everything fits without pressure

[debmartinez]

Perfect video with awesome instructions 👌 thanks a million

To be honest I found this video really helpful!

Always was struggling to bent the wire and looks like I was doing a mistake cos I was trying to bend it at the same time when was fitting main bar and I was feeling that doing something wrong 🤦‍♂️

Thank you for this video! 👍

I always cut the perimeter tiles in first and then clip them down from above. This is a must over doorways as the wind and suction will move them about overwise. Then I put the full tiles in after

I just came here to figure out out to get the tiles in the ceiling, they would not fit in! Thanks for showing how to tilt them, im such an idiot 😂

Thanks for this instructional video! I'm ready to start working on my basement.

Wonderful summary; I wish, though, that it was slowed down just a bit - I had to stop, back up and restart several times to meld the narration and video. But then, I'm old.

this is a good job as ive seen old drop cielings be not square because ity was probaly installed loose

[davidcrawford]

So I have a room that is exactly 12 feet wide. If I understand correctly. I have to trim off a few inches of the main tee. This makes my main tee too short, and so I have to add a small section to every main tee. Who is the genius at Armstrong that did not design the 12 foot long main tee to fit a 12 foot wide or long room so that 6 2x2 tiles can be evenly spaced? Why are there no holes starting 24 inches from the factory edge? Please explain.

These videos always make me laugh. Make it so much harder for people actually trying to do this

[BustedLeaf]

You just gave me an idea that I was struggling with. Thank you.

Or you could set a laser 7/8 above cieling hieght. Mark all the hangers with a black marker at once. Bend them on that point . Then all you have to do is throw in all your mains.
