    Hi everyone. I wonder if anyone can help me. What is the trade name of the board that has a very lightweight foam filling sandwiched between stiff cardboard finish? I am hanging some signs from a suspended ceiling, (the type with the square poly ceiling tiles that sit in the metal framing). Also, is there a ‘clip’ that can hook on to the metal framing to hang the signs from so as not to puncture the tiles by having to thread the supporting wire through the tiles and around the frame?
    Thanks all 🙂
