Brock Anwar: Make sure whatever you get is code-approved for ceilings... They need to have a certain amount of fire resistance.
Malcom Bourek: I don't know where you are pricing 2'x2' ceiling tiles for $8-$12 but that is way too high. We have done several home theatre rooms, and I know you have a limited budget, however here are some suggestions.Take 1" rigid styrofoam board and spray paint black or cover with some economical fabric.Don't glue fabric on face of panels but rather pull fabric tight and let overlap about 2" on the back - then use hot glue to hold in place on the back.One home theatre we did was really neat. Take some strands of the small thin led christmas light poke holes from the backside of the painted styrofoam and push the lights into the holes so they just stick out a little. Don't put the lights too close - you can do this on just the perimeter tiles or at random out in the middle. We chose blue lights.This gives you just enough light to see bef! ore and after the movie. It is really neat and does not cost much. The led lights can be put on a dimmer. Fabric is a great sound absorber also. Just take a glue gun to glue fabric to styrofoam panels. You have to experiment with the size of panels to allow for fabric so the drop into the gridwork without much hassle.This looks really good. Touch up any places around the styrofoam holes where lights are with a small artist brush and flat black paint....Show more
Providencia Serpe: Try Dick Blick art stores if there is one near you or go to www.dickblick.com. They have really great bulk discounts.
Hal Palowoda: For the electrics - get a qualified electrician to fit the lights. Make sure that when you buy the lights, they are for the right zone. Look on the box as only some can be put above baths and showers. For the ceiling - don't know if this is technically suspended or not. My bathroom is small, but very tall with a sloping and uneven ceiling. We built a wood! en framework about 2 ft below the original ceiling height and ! cladded it with plasterboard. We were then able to put halogen recessed lights into the new ceiling....Show more
