Tired of working in a
cold, noisy shop?
These ceiling systems are
designed to hold any
amount of insulation, and
with insulation above, pro
duce sound reduction qual
ities much greater than
steel.
Contemplating a drop
ceiling?
Demand a triply ceil
ing above your drop ceil
ing if there is insulation
being installed. This will
serve as a vapor barrier
as well as permanently
preventing falling insula
tion.
