Suspended Ceiling Systems & Acoustical Grid and Tile – Dallas–Fort Worth

What Is a Suspended or Drop Ceiling?

A suspended ceiling (sometimes called a drop ceiling or grid ceiling) is a secondary ceiling hung from the structure using hangers and a metal grid. Acoustic or lay-in tiles are then placed into the grid. This creates a concealed space for mechanical, electrical, plumbing, and fire protection systems while keeping the finished space neat and serviceable.

• Improved acoustics: absorbs sound and reduces echo in open offices and corridors.
• Concealed services: hides ductwork, piping, conduit, and cabling.
• Fire and life-safety integration: allows sprinkler heads, exit lighting, and HVAC diffusers.
• Easy access: tiles can be removed for maintenance without demolition.
• Clean, professional appearance: ideal for tenant finish-out, medical, municipal, and education.

Acoustical Grid Systems We Install

Different facilities need different ceiling systems. Some need fast access to overhead systems, others need heavier-duty ceilings to support lights, diffusers, and specialty panels. Our crews install all major suspension systems used in commercial construction.

• Lay-In Grid Systems – most common option for offices, retail, and tenant finish-outs. Fast to install, easy to service.
• Clip-In Grid Systems – more secure connection for areas with vibration or heavier fixtures.
• Hook-On Grid Systems – ideal where frequent access to MEP is required.
• Wire rod & specialty suspension – for custom ceilings, sloped ceilings, or architectural features.
• Integrated ceilings – ceilings that accept lights, diffusers, return air, and fire protection devices.

We follow manufacturer specifications and project drawings, and we coordinate with your GC or facilities team to make sure ceiling heights, hanger spacing, and service penetrations are correct before closing up.

Acoustic Ceiling Tiles & Sound Control Panels

When the goal is to reduce noise, improve speech clarity, or control sound transfer between rooms, we specify and install acoustical ceiling tiles with the right NRC (noise reduction coefficient) and, where needed, higher CAC (ceiling attenuation class).

• Mineral fiber and fiberglass panels – most common, economical, good sound absorption.
• Perforated metal panels with acoustic backing – durable, cleanable, modern appearance.
• Moisture- and mold-resistant tiles – for restaurants, medical, and high-humidity areas.
• High-NRC tiles – for call centers, open offices, training and classrooms.
• Replacement / retrofit tiles – we can match existing grids and upgrade only the acoustic layer.

Applications include offices, conference rooms, schools, medical suites, hospitality, churches, and multi-tenant commercial spaces where noise control matters.

Soundproofing & Ceiling Upgrades

Not every space can get a full ceiling replacement. For those projects, we offer practical sound-control upgrades that work with existing construction. This is ideal for occupied buildings and phased work.

• Sound-absorbing drop ceiling tiles – reduce room echo and background noise.
• Insulation above the grid – improves STC between rooms and above corridors.
• Spray foam for acoustics – seals air gaps and sound leaks while improving energy efficiency.
• Patch, repair, and tile replacement – fix water-damaged or stained tiles to keep spaces presentable.

This is “working contractor” ceiling work — fast, clean, and done around existing operations so your business doesn’t have to shut down.
