Project Overview

• Location: Federal Building, Brooklyn Job Corps

• Ceiling Type: Drop Ceiling

• Project Duration: 10 Days

Why This Ceiling Upgrade Was Essential

The previous ceiling in the cafeteria had visible wear and tear, outdated materials, and compromised acoustic performance. Recognizing the need for a modern, energy-efficient solution, the Job Corps team entrusted us with the renovation. We designed and installed a drop ceiling system that enhances the cafeteria’s appearance while improving insulation, fire resistance, and sound absorption.

By choosing Ceilume ceiling tiles, we provided a lightweight yet highly durable solution that resists moisture, sagging, and staining—an essential feature for high-traffic areas like cafeterias. The integration of Armstrong’s high-quality grid system ensured a secure, level, and seamless installation.

The Installation Process

1. Planning & Preparation

Before installation, our team conducted a thorough assessment of the existing ceiling structure, identifying necessary repairs and reinforcements. We collaborated closely with the Job Corps team to minimize disruptions while ensuring efficient project completion.

2. Removing the Old Ceiling

We carefully removed the old ceiling panels and grid system, ensuring all outdated and damaged materials were disposed of properly. This step also allowed us to inspect the supporting framework and wiring, making necessary adjustments to accommodate the new ceiling system.

3. Installing the New Grid System

A strong, reliable grid system is the foundation of a durable drop ceiling. Our team used Armstrong’s premium-quality grid materials to ensure a sturdy and perfectly aligned framework for the new ceiling tiles.

4. Placing the Ceilume Ceiling Tiles

With the grid in place, we carefully installed the Ceilume ceiling tiles, ensuring each panel fit securely while maintaining a seamless, professional look. These tiles not only provide an elegant aesthetic but also offer exceptional fire resistance, insulation, and noise reduction—ideal for a busy cafeteria environment.

5. Final Adjustments & Quality Check

Before completing the project, we performed a thorough quality check to ensure every tile was securely placed and that the entire ceiling met our high standards of precision and durability.
