Buying Ceiling Tiles

There are three main varieties of elements used
to make ceiling tiles pressed fibre, vinyl, and
metal. Each variety has features that are better
suited for various purposes. By knowing which
types of tiles are composed of different parts of
the house, you can make a more informed
purchasing decision.

Pressed Fiber Ceiling Tiles
Most acoustical ceiling tiles are produced from
pressed fibres, which form a light,
sound-absorbing cushion. While this variety of
tile is the most traditional, it also has
restrictions of which you should be wary. This
type of tile is very easy to scratch, stain, and
break and has almost no tolerance for water.
4
Vinyl Ceiling Tiles
This variety of tile can be used in any room, but
it is not well satisfactory as a sound-dampening
tile and so should not be used in rooms where
distracting noises are generated, such as the
television room. Vinyl is better suited for the
bathroom than other places, due to its protection
to moisture.
5
Metal Ceiling Tiles
In the kitchen, vinyl or metal tiles are the best
alternatives. Metal is even reliable than vinyl
because it is more resistant to heat and easier
to clean. Metal tiles with a non-stick face form
it easy to reduce grease buildup, a common
difficulty in commercial kitchens.
