Where do you get that white grating?

[Adam Chandler]

I was a Lowes a few hours ago picking up some supplies for an incubator I am converting from an old Red Bull cooler.
While I was there I was trying to find that white grating stuff to use for a shelf in the incubator. I asked 3 different people working there and no one had any idea what I was talking about.
Does anyone know what that stuff is technically called? Has anyone been able to buy it from Home Depot or Lowes?

Home depot brudda in the lighting area near the recessed lighting cans and what not it runs anywhere from 5.00-12.00 depending on the store I noticed.

Ever look up when in a Drs office or any professional office? Its the stuff on the ceiling with the fluorescent lights behind it. Sometimes its hanging from cords suspended just below the lights. I don't know what its called but its some sort of light diffuser and yes its in the lighting/electrical dept.

Find a good ceiling and rip it down.

As for cutting...
I use a large pair of D y k e s (Wire cutters, it censored the name) and just snipp one at a time. The first time is a little slow but once you get the rhythm it is pretty fast...LOL
