T-bar Ceiling, 2x2 or 2x4 Panels

Mike / John - if you are a contractor then you should certainly be able to get the pricing and do the quote. Why should anyone on here do your work for you?

Sorry to sound like that but it is what it is.

Go to armstrongs web site. They have a calculator for the materials needed for both set ups. 2x2 has a lot better looking variety of tiles also.

Hi Mike

We never use 2x4 tiles in basements they make it look like a Dentist office. But if you are going on price the small amount you are going to save will be forgotten and you will have what you have.

Hi John

For sure there is higher cost with the 2x2 tiles. You need 2' cross pieces and each of the 2x2 panels are more expensive.

As mentioned anytime you can go with a 2x2 panel in a home it looks so much better. Gives a cozy warm feeling to a basement if the lighting is done right also.

I have to agree with Jim, go over to your big box store with your calculator and figure it out your self. It would be a good estimating exercise.
