Ceiling: Generic Design Options
With Option 2b, the finished ceiling is interrupted by the partition itself.
Option 2b costs more than Option 1, but has several advantages. It
provides better fixing of the partitions head to the platform; it provides
better acoustic isolation; it readily permits different finishes to be utilized in
adjoining spaces; it covers the perimeter relief detail required at the
partition head (See Section 331.3); it permits the ceiling finish to be
applied at a later date than Option 1, thereby avoiding scheduling
problems which might arise in connection with the dryingout time for the
platform. (See Section 322.1.1.)
