gemelee Posted April 25, 2014 Report Share Posted April 25, 2014 Hi I am looking for some "egg crate" and was wondering where I might be able to find some in Hamilton? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hovmoller Posted April 25, 2014 Report Share Posted April 25, 2014 I got some from "Forman Interiors". They supply interior wall systems and ceilings etc. They still stock it even though it is not used much as ceiling light diffusors anymore.

hovmoller Posted April 25, 2014 Report Share Posted April 25, 2014 Hehe well for me it was a free "sample" because I work in an architect firm. Not sure what they charge but I think you would have to buy a standard ceiling tile dimension which is 1200x600mm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hovmoller Posted April 26, 2014 Report Share Posted April 26, 2014 If you can find someone who installs suspended office ceilings then I think that will be your best chance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adrienne Posted April 26, 2014 Report Share Posted April 26, 2014 Does your local fish shop not stock it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hovmoller Posted April 27, 2014 Report Share Posted April 27, 2014 Does your local fish shop not stock it? There is the kind they stock in fish shops (for fish purposes) that has quite large squares and is also quite expensive. Then there is the "Egg Crate" that people usually talk about on the american/international forums which is a smaller square screen that is normally used as light diffusors in a suspended ceiling grid normally seen in offices. The ceiling type egg crate is dirt cheap in america and therefore used for all sorts of purposes. Not that easy to come by here because it is a bit old fashion but ceiling suppliers such as Forman still stock it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
