Basement ceiling options
Comments (1)Your basement is part of your home and air will be exchanged through a thousand little crevices and cracks and or HVAC, planned or not. So the "cure" for basement dampness is not trying to separate it from the finished space above. Instead, address the problem directly through mechanical dehumidification and damp proofing/waterproofing. Suspending ceilings will not deter rodents.

Comments (2)If you are looking for a more finished look, then I would either try to match what you have, or replace what you have with something very close, or go for the drop ceiling. You have plumbing and you have electrical up there. Hard to repair when things go wrong, if it is all painted a dark color, besides, it makes the room much darker....See MoreBasement ceiling options

Comments (1)You probably will not be able to put in a ceiling. My son is in the home stretch of finishing his 1918 basement. The ceiling is also low. People didn't use their cellars as living space back then. He spray painted the ceiling, pipes, ducts, etc a dark charcoal gray. I was surprised how nice it turned out. It made all the stuff in the ceiling fade away and gave it an industrial vibe....See Morechispa
