Level Grids. Clean Tiles. Exceptional Acoustics.
Acoustical Ceiling Tile (ACT) systems combine a suspended metal grid with acoustic tiles to create finished ceilings that reduce noise, improve sound quality, and provide convenient access to mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems above.

ACT Ceiling Services We Offer
From standard commercial grid systems to fire-rated and specialty acoustic assemblies — we install ACT ceilings that perform, comply with code, and look great.
Standard 2×2 & 2×4 Grid Systems
The most common commercial ceiling format — a visible exposed grid with lay-in acoustic tiles. We install standard T-bar grid systems for offices, retail spaces, and light commercial applications with precision leveling.
Tegular Tile Systems
Tegular tiles drop below the grid plane for a more finished, architectural appearance. Popular in corporate offices, conference rooms, and professional environments where aesthetics matter as much as acoustics.
Concealed Spline Systems
A clean, modern ceiling system where the grid is hidden and tiles slot in seamlessly. Ideal for high-end offices, hospitality spaces, and any interior where a monolithic ceiling look is desired.
Fire-Rated Ceiling Assemblies
Code-compliant fire-rated ACT systems for corridors, medical facilities, stairwells, and any application requiring fire separation. We work with UL-listed assemblies and meet all Nevada building code requirements.
High-NRC Acoustic Tile Systems
High Noise Reduction Coefficient tiles for conference rooms, open offices, medical suites, and hospitality spaces where controlling ambient noise and echo is critical to occupant comfort.
Medical & Healthcare Ceilings
Cleanroom-compatible, antimicrobial, and humidity-resistant ACT systems for medical offices, clinics, and healthcare facilities. We source appropriate tile systems that meet healthcare facility requirements.
Specialty & Decorative Ceilings
Custom tile shapes, colors, metallics, and specialty materials for unique architectural ceiling designs. Whether you're creating a statement lobby ceiling or a designer retail space, we can execute it.
ACT Ceiling Repairs & Retiling
Damaged, stained, or water-stained tiles replaced individually or in sections. We also re-level and realign sagging or damaged grid systems, restoring your ceiling to its original appearance.
Have a ceiling project that doesn't fit neatly into one of these categories? We handle custom work too.

Layout & Ceiling Height Measurement
Our crew establishes the finished ceiling height and snaps chalk lines to ensure the grid is perfectly level across the entire space. Accurate layout is critical — a level grid is the foundation of a clean, professional ACT ceiling.
Wall Angle & Hanger Wire Installation
Wall angles are secured to perimeter walls and hanger wires are dropped from the structure above at regular intervals. Wires are measured and pre-bent so the main runners hang at exactly the correct height.
Main Runner & Cross Tee Installation
Main runners are hung and leveled along their entire length, then cross tees are snapped in to complete the grid pattern. We carefully cut border tiles to center the grid for a balanced, symmetrical ceiling layout.
Acoustic Tile Installation
Tiles are laid into the grid starting from the center of the room outward. Border tiles are cut cleanly to fit the perimeter. Penetrations for lights, HVAC diffusers, and sprinklers are cut precisely to ensure a finished appearance.
Final Inspection & Cleanup
We walk the completed ceiling with you to confirm every tile is seated correctly, the grid is level, and all cuts are clean. The job site is left tidy — debris removed and the finished ceiling ready for your inspection.
