You have two options. You can purchase 24" cross pieces for your grid, to turn the 2X4 sections into 2X2 sections, or you can purchase 2X4 tiles that look like 2X2 tiles. Ceilume's Stratford Style is a good example.

Unless you happen to be talking about a ceiling that was installed in the autumn, I'll bet you are mis-hearing "false ceiling".

How do you install a heat register in a drop down ceiling?

If I am correctly understanding the question. You have a suspended ceiling and wish to add a register. Ok, two ways, the first is easiest. Get a 2`x 2` register and lay it in the grid in the place of a tile. Second, once you have selected the ceiling location for the register, lay the register in the center of the tile where it is going and trace out & cut the hole in the tile to accept the register and reinstall the tile into the ceiling grid and connect the duct. Make sure everything is properly supported and there is no stress on the tile.

How to Install Modern Ceiling Panels?

One of the main elements in modern architecture and construction is the ceiling panel. Ceiling panels are usually part of a dropped ceiling or secondary ceiling that is hung below the structural ceiling. A dropped ceiling is often called a false or suspended ceiling. The area between the ceiling panels and the structured ceiling is normally used for heating and air-conditioning duct work and to conceal wiring and pipes. The suspended ceiling was originally designed to hide the underside of a floor as well as to provide acoustical balance in a room.Metal channels in the ceiling grid work are shaped like an upside down “T” and these channels hold ceiling panels in place. The grid work is suspended with wires that are attached to the main ceiling. The metal channels snap together in a regular pattern of 4x4 or 2x2 foot grids. Ceiling panels come in different colors, materials, and sizes. Mineral fibers as well as wood, plastic, and metal ceiling panels are used for commercial as well as residential construction. Light fixtures, HVAC air grills, sprinklers, speakers, and other ceiling fixtures can be placed in the ceiling panels. Some panels are made to conform to other fixtures so installation is faster and more cost effective.Ceiling panels can transform the look of any room thanks to the modern materials and the colors available for do-it-yourself projects. For a minimum investment the ceiling in a basement or any room can converted to useable living space when ceiling panels are incorporated in the remodeling plans. Ceiling panels offer easy access to any wiring or plumbing issues which reduces maintenance costs. Suspended ceiling panels can be replaced from time to time using the same grid work.The major disadvantage in installing modern ceiling panels is the reduction of head space, but most renovation projects take that fact into consideration and adjust the grid height so the ceiling is seven or eight feet above the floor. Most of the modern ceiling panels come with new grid shapes and edge molding that create a seamless pattern so the height of the ceiling is not as much of an issue as it was twenty years ago.
