Adding walls underneath and existing ceiling can get pretty messy. Often times drywall finishers leave rough edges and may get mud on the existing ceiling grid or tile. Not a detail that you want to leave for your Owner.
Let’s introduce Trim-Tex “Mud on Ceiling Bead”.
Once the drywall is hung, staple this trim onto the head of wall against the existing ceiling and finish the wall. You’ll be left with a tear away leg that will clean up any mud left on the ceiling trim and a clean look that your Owners will love.

Imagine – your are doing a renovation for a customer that changes their spaces constantly adding short walls for modular offices that may change in a year. The usual answer is “screw the top track to the ceiling grid” – we say “Don’t Do It!” there is a better way…
Armstrong manufactures several accessories just for this situation. The “Partition Head Fixing” Clip or BP UPC AG is used to attach metal or wood top track to the ceiling grid without damaging the painted face of the grid.
CAC stands for “Ceiling Attenuation Class” – this measurement rates a ceiling structure’s efficiency as a barrier to airborne sound intrusion between two closed rooms, over the speech frequency range. It is an especially significant measure in providing acoustic privacy between adjacent work areas, where sound can penetrate plenum spaces and carry to other spaces. CAC is stated as a minimum value; CAC minimum 25 is acceptable in open plan offices, while a rating of minimum 35 to 40 is preferred for closed offices.
