We have an old celotex ceiling and it is falling down..insulation is blown in on top of ceiling tiles and will fall out if taken down..Is there anything we can put up over this like bead board or 1/4" sheet rock..which is cheaper and which is best...Thanks for any info out there...

How is this celotex ceiling held in place?
Tiles in a metal grid?
Tiles glued to the ceiling?
Tiles stapled to strapping?

Thanks Ron!! the tiles are stapled to the strapping....

I'd be leary adding weight to a homeowner strapped ceiling without knowing how the wood was secured.
