This looks like a great idea and faster to install than conventional metal stud framed soffits. https://www.armstrongceilings.com/commercial/en/suspension-systems/drywall-grid-simplesoffit-component.html#redirect_term=SIMPLESOFFIT+Drywall+Framing+System David G.

I particularly like the way it integrates with Axiom perimeter cove trims.

I see it as a contractor means and methods decision, whether to use it or propose it as an alternate to a standard framed soffit. ken hercenberg Senior Member Username: khercenberg Post Number: 1609 Registered: 12-2006 Posted on Thursday, February 01, 2024 - 03:37 pm:    Anything like https://www.usg.com/content/usgcom/en/products/ceilings/grids-trim/drywall-grid-systems/drywall-suspension-system.dgw9626dm.html or https://www.certainteed.com/quickspan-locking-drywall-system David G.

USG and Certainteed soffits require site fabrication with jigs and additional components. The Armstrong product comes prefabricated and appears to be a lot simpler and quicker to install. David G.

Good to know. Any price difference?
