A drywall grid system is a suspension framework designed to support gypsum board ceilings in commercial construction. CertainTeed’s QuickSpan system provides a faster alternative to conventional drywall framing methods. The QuickSpan™ Locking Drywall Grid System from CertainTeed is a high-performance drywall grid ceiling system engineered for commercial corridor and narrow space applications. Designed to deliver the longest unsupported spans and widest hanger spacing in its class, this drywall grid system helps reduce labor costs and improve installation efficiency. Unlike traditional ceiling framing methods, the QuickSpan drywall grid eliminates the need for hanger wires for unsupported spans up to 9' with 5/8” drywall at 16” O.C. spacing. The system’s innovative design allows contractors to install drywall ceilings faster with fewer components and less labor. Constructed from heavy-duty materials, QuickSpan cross tees provide maximum rigidity, strong screw retention, and...See More long-term durability. A double-stitched web increases structural strength and torsional resistance, while a knurled face improves screw installation speed and accuracy. The QuickSpan Locking Channel features pre-engineered locking tabs punched at 8” O.C., preventing lateral and upward movement and ensuring precise alignment during installation. Cross tees lock into place quickly without screws, pop rivets, or crimpers, simplifying the installation process. The QuickSpan Support Clip provides load-bearing reinforcement, enabling spans up to 16' and significantly reducing the number of hanger wires required compared to traditional drywall grid systems. Wider tee spacing of up to 24” O.C. further enhances efficiency and reduces project costs. This drywall grid ceiling system is ideal for commercial interiors, including corridors, healthcare facilities, education spaces, hotels, and office environments where speed, strength, and consistency are critical. Installation is simple: snap the support clip into place, listen for the audible lock, and secure to the carrying tee using the provided attachment points. See Less
