- Ceiling tiles can be stapled, glued or installed onto a suspended grid system. Budget, function and strutural design determine which tile type works best for you.
- Some tiles are washable; some tiles are not.
- Acoustical tiles are made to absorb upto 80% of the excess noise in an area.
NOISE REDUCTION COEFFICIENT - is the measurement rating how much noise is absorbed when sound waves hit the surface of a ceiling tile.
CEILING ATTENUATION CLASS - is the measurement rating how well the tile blocks sound waves traveling through the tile.
ESTABLISH CEILING HEIGHT Normally, you want the ceiling as high as possible. Typically, suspended ceilings should hang about 4" below the lowest obstacle. This leaves enough room for installing or removing panels.
