Dropped ceilings are found in offices as well as basements.
A dropped ceiling, also known as a drop ceiling or suspended ceiling, may be found in a basement. These ceiling types are often used to conceal electrical or duct work and consist of tiles installed in a frame that drops below the main ceiling. Hanging pictures in the basement from your dropped ceiling prevents you from having to drill into the walls.
Instructions
1. Install one eyehook on either side of the top section of your picture frame. Drill small starter holes for easier insertion if necessary.
2. Measure from the height of the dropped ceiling frame to the point where you want the top of the frame to fall.
3. Cut two pieces of high-tension wire to the length of the measurement plus 6 inches.
4. Climb a ladder with the help of a spotter and gently lift the tile in the dropped ceiling at the point where you want to hang the picture. Have your assistant hand you one wire. Wrap it over the dropped- and fold it over 3 inches. Secure it using a wire-rope clip. Repeat the process with the other wire. Space the wires on the ceiling frame the distance between the eyehooks on the picture frame.
5. Hold your picture frame up to the hanging wires with the help of your assistant. Thread each wire through the corresponding eyehook. Fold it over and secure with the wire-rope clips, completing the hanging process in your basement.
