Default Eggcrate supplier?

Does anyone know where I can get eggcrate material in Calgary? or types of stores that usually carry it in other towns?

cheers,

You can get the white stuff at Home Depot. The black is a little harder to find.

HD or Rona, the black you can get at a place (i forget the name) between 16th ave and 32nd ave on 19th street N.E but it will run you about $50 a sheet.

eggcrate, is used in suspended ceilings and florescent light fixtures. That should help you find it in HD or wherever. I remember my first time looking for it, HD is big place and nobody else seems to call it eggcrate

Ya dont ask for eggcrate.... If you have to ask someone at HD call it a light diffuser for t-bar then they will know what you talking about. It should be in the building materials section.

At Home Depot, it's not in the lighting dept. It's usually in some weird place
