Tiles with Square Lay-In are the easiest to install, but the visual effect of tegular, vector, or tongue & groove are interesting and appealing to many people.
The combination of grid size and edge profile will affect the visual appearance and ease of installation of your suspended ceiling.
Square Lay-in design hangs directly on the suspended ceiling grid.
Flush Tegular design hangs flush with the ceiling grid to create a smooth surface.
Square Tegular design hangs 1/4” below the grid, so the ceiling looks like a field of protruding squares.
Vector design creates a clean, grid-hiding visual effect.
Beveled Tegular design has rounded corners on the hanging tiles to create a softer look.
Tongue & Groove design provides a seamless, uninterrupted, grid-less look.
Angled Tegular design has angled corners on the hanging tiles to create a softer look.
The Grid are the lines you can see between the ceiling tiles.
The standard width is 15/16" wide metal frame around each tile – about the same size as the diameter of a Quarter. A narrower version, 9/16”, is also common.

The flame spread rating of a material refers to how rapidly flame spreads on one surface as compared to another. The flame spread rating is broken into three categories: Class A, Class B and Class C. Class A products have a flame-spread of 25 or less, and smoke developed of 50 or less. Class C products have a flame-spread of 76-200, and smoke developed of 0-450. Class A products are appropriate in the majority of commercial applications and Class C products are appropriate in most residential applications.

To find replacement tiles, you will need to find the item number of your current tiles. You can do that by removing the ceiling tile and flipping it over. Once you do that, locate the item # on the back of the tile. Enter the item number on our ceiling replacement page to get your match.
Dust and loose dirt may easily be removed by light brushing or with a vacuum cleaner. The best attachments to use are the ones for cleaning upholstery or walls. Make sure to clean in one direction only to prevent rubbing dust into the surface of the ceiling.
After loose dust has been removed, other marks can be easily erased with an ordinary eraser. Although, a fresh wall cleaner may be preferred.
Mineral fiber ceilings may be cleaned with a moist cloth or a sponge dampened in water containing mild soap. The sponge should contain as little water as possible. After washing, the soapy film should be wiped off with a cloth or sponge slightly dampened in clean water.
Look for the disinfectable and cleanable icons for more information on your specific ceiling tile. You can also download our cleaning and disinfecting guidelines for more information.
Our Ceiling Selector can help you figure out what you need. After a few quick questions, we give you recommendations and can help you with your order and with installation.
It is recommended to change ceiling tiles out every 10 years. We have a 10-year warranty on most ceiling tiles. You can always patch and match a few tiles in the interim to transform any space or fix damages.
All of our mineral fiber ceiling tiles and panels can be painted with latex paints. The front and back of 24-in x 24-in and 24-in x 48-in panels should be painted.
PLEASE NOTE: Field painting will void the warranty. We cannot guarantee that the surface-burning characteristics, fire-resistance ratings, acoustical performance, dimensional stability/sag, or light reflectance will remain the same after repainting. TECTUM tiles can be painted up to 6 times without losing acoustical performance.
The Noise Reduction Coefficient (NRC) value is the % of sound that can be absorbed by that tile. The best NRC ceiling tiles can absorb up to 95% of sound. Example: An NRC of .95 can absorb 95% of the sound that strikes the tiles surface.
The Ceiling Attenuation Class (CAC) value is the number of decibels the tile can block from leaving or entering a closed room when installed as a drop ceiling. The best ceiling tiles have a CAC of 45, which blocks 45 decibels of sound that hit the tiles surface.
