24" x 24" SAHARA
Create a basement straight out of a magazine, starting with a new, easy-to-install ceiling. Say goodbye to boring and dingy ceiling panels and hello to an updated and stylish new look.

Look 1: Cover Your Existing Ceiling Grid

With WOODHAVEN planks, you can transform your basement in no time without having to remove the existing grid. WOODHAVEN planks come in a variety of styles and finishes.

Just like wood floors, WOODHAVEN planks have tongues and grooves to secure each piece and create a tight seam. In 3 steps, you can completely cover an existing grid with the planks. Just remove old ceiling panels from the grid, snap on EASY UP clips, and slide planks into place, securing them with the clips. Remember to stagger the planks to reduce waste and create a more natural finish.

Look 2: Convert a 24" x 48" ceiling to a stylish 24" x 24" ceiling

Don’t forget to check out the 24” x 24” panels too! Just pop in cross tees to a 24” x 48” grid to create the 24” x 24” grid. You can go more basic for a minimalist approach, compliment your lavish design with a beautiful real metal pattern, or even create a stunning movie room with a black panel.

Look 3: Refresh and Upgrade

If you are looking to find a quick and easy drop ceiling update, you can get the look of stylish 2' x 2' panels or 12” x 12” panels in a 2' x 4' size.  2' x 4' Sahara Scored panels are available in two visuals.  The Sahara Scored I panel creates the look of 12” x 12” tiles, while the Sahara Scored II creates a 2' x 2' visual - all without any work to the grid.


Look 4: Coffered Ceilings

Everyone loves the look of a custom coffered ceiling, but not everyone loves the price of custom millwork. Get a coffered look in a drop ceiling using EASY ELEGANCE coffered ceiling panels. It's a simple 24" x 24" ceiling upgrade with maximum impact! Tiles are made of lightweight PVC, so they are easy to handle and clean, and hard to ruin.
