Who knew updating a drop ceiling could be so unique?

Model #: 273

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 Existing Ceiling Grid

With WOODHAVEN planks, you can transform a 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 2' x 4' ceiling to a stylish 2' x 2' ceiling

Just pop in cross tees to a 2' x 4' grid to create the 2' x 2' grid. You can go more basic with the panels for a minimalist approach, compliment a 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 everone loves the price of custom millwork. Get a coffered look in a drop ceiling using EASY ELEGANCE coffered ceiling panels. It's a simple 2' x 2' ceiling upgrade with maximum impact! Tiles are made of lightweight PVC, so they offer mold, mildew and sag resistance and are easy to clean – making them ideal for basements.


Look 5: Vintage Metals

For the ultimate in old-school style, metal drop ceilings add glam vibes or classic 19th century charm. Use the existing grid, paint it in a metallic finish that most closely matches the metal finish chosen, and swap out old 2' x 2' panels for new METALLAIRE ceiling tiles. The effect really makes for a total transformation. Coordinating grid kits are also available.

Drop ceilings no longer need to be ugly. A drop ceiling update doesn't even need to look like a drop ceiling anymore! Whether updating with planks or panels, your customers will have a new and improved ceiling in just a weekend.
