1 ceiling tile for pins or alternative

Unread post by AndrewS » Sat Apr 13, 2013 4:57 pm

Looking for a single ceiling tile good for using on a building board for pins? Anyone have one to spare or know where you can get just one... Home Depot only had the boxes. Or any alternative ideas?

Thanks
Andrew

I've had luck in the past by finding a tile with a broken corner at a building supply store, (honestly, I did not break the corner..!)
They will cut the price by half.

So check around, maybe even on Kent's outside loading ramp.

You could try the Rona sell-off in Bayer's Lake... I stopped by there today and they had a pile of individual ceiling tiles (2x2, anyway). I wasn't looking for any so I didn't dig through to see if there were any larger ones.

I am a browsing newcomer. Ceiling tales - Tons of them at $1.. each - go to Habitat for Humanity store in Burnside (near Bus Garage).

I use 1/4" cork sheet, which can be purchased in rolls, glued to a ply or fibreboard building board.
