I am re-doing my semi-finished basement. It already has half the ceiling done with suspended ceiling tiles. The only problem is that they are 2 feet by 33 and 1/2 inches. I can't seem to find tiles with this measurement anywhere. does this mean that I will half to cut tiles to fit, or would the track have to be re-layed? Any help ??? Thanks!!!!!

They do not make the size you have anymore.
Yes, you will have to cut them to fit. That is the easiest way. Good Luck, nothing is easy is it ?

A utility knife and staright edge will work nicely. Put a new blade in the knife. Put a piece of scrap wood under the tile so you do not damage any flooring or the knife blade.

Basements, Attics and Crawl Spaces
Track lighting

I plan on completing my partly-finished basement. I have 10' clearance (9' under I-beam). I would like to know if it is possible to attach track lighting to a suspended ceiling. Thanks!

Attic

Insulating the attic, can I use fiber panel instead of gypsum boards, gypsum is so heavy and could bend the construction of the roof.
