Rolled insulation is the best product to use for suspended ceilings.
Suspended ceilings are often used in basement refinishing jobs. They are relatively easy to install, and the choice of available ceiling tile gives you many choices in style and decor. Suspended ceilings are hung from the joists below the subfloor of the rooms above. If this area is not insulated, heating and cooling energy can be wasted. And the addition of insulation provides an extra sound barrier between the levels of the home.
Instructions
1. Put on work gloves and a dust mask to limit exposure to the fiberglass insulation.
2. Place a ladder under a corner ceiling tile. Push up on the corner of the ceiling tile, then angle the tile and drop it out of the suspended framework. Stack the tiles out of the way or in another room and continue until you remove all the tiles.
3. Position a roll of insulation at one corner of the room, so that the joists of the ceiling above the suspended ceiling are traveling away from you in parallel. Pull the end of the insulation roll up to the ceiling with the paper-covered side facing down. Work the roll of insulation across the ceiling until the end reaches the other side of the room.
4. Starting at the end of the room you just reached. Staple the paper edges of the insulation roll to the joists on either side of the insulation. Put a staple in every 3 to 4 inches to ensure a solid connection. Continue across the ceiling until you reach the other side. Cut the insulation with a utility knife and finish stapling the insulation between the joists.
5. Proceed to the next set of joists and continue adding insulation. Replace the ceiling tiles when you've finished installing the insulation.
