EZ Stab Acoustical Suspension Systems: Making Every Second Saved Count

With commercial acoustical ceiling installations, shaving even small amounts of time off specific installation steps can add up to huge time and budget savings over the course of an entire job.

The EZ Stab family of acoustical suspension systems by CertainTeed Architectural empowers installers to perform faster, easier installations at every step of the process.

That’s due in large part to the fact that CertainTeed worked directly with contractors and ceiling installers in refining and field testing the features of the EZ Stab line. Partnering with pros in the field provides valuable real-world input that helps CertainTeed Architectural develop, innovate, and improve products with tangible time-saving advantages.

The key feature of the EZ Stab family is the patented Latitude Holes™, which offer improved versatility with hanger wire placement. These hanger wire holes are positioned higher in the bulb of each tee and spaced more frequently at every 3 inches—as opposed to the more standard spacing of 6 or 12 inches. The greater frequency provides more attachment options with an easier ability to create sturdy, rigid systems. And the higher placement of the holes in the bulb helps keep hanger wires out of the way when placing lay-in panels.

Another important element is the EZ Clip, which allows for lower tee insertion force and easier removability to make adjustments without damaging the clip. Wider slots with larger openings on the tees also create better accuracy when installer have to install pieces from a distance, and centering tabs on 9/16” systems help keep trim edge panels pieces positioned within the opening so that there are no gaps around the perimeter.

With two rows of continuous stitching, EZ Stab’s hot-dipped, galvanized steel construction creates maximum strength and torsional rigidity for suspension systems that stay rigid. Plus, EZ Stab systems are complemented by a full slate of accessories for mechanical components, wall angles, and perimeter trim to make installations smoother from start to finish.

The EZ Stab line includes a variety of acoustical suspension system options to support any project, from fire-rated, seismic, clean room, and high-humidity installations to narrow profile and bolt slot systems. All products in the family work seamlessly with CertainTeed Architectural’s durable acoustical ceiling panels.

With the EZ Stab family, CertainTeed Architectural has reinforced the core tenet of all its grid products: Creating time-saving systems that are powered by expert knowledge, in-the-field experience, and customer feedback to put money back in contractor’s pockets.
