About this detail

A gypsum board ceiling grid transitions to an acoustic panel dropped ceiling system. The gypsum board grid is suspended by vertical hanger wires continuing up to the structure, stabilized with minimum 2-1/2 inch 33 mil metal stud braces spaced at 4 feet on center where soffit heights exceed 48 inches. These braces attach to the vertical grid using a minimum of two number 8 self-tapping sheet metal screws and manufacturer-recommended clips. A continuous perimeter angle molding and perimeter runner connect the ceiling systems, finished with painted metal corner beads or outside corner beads typical at transitions.
