Cost is another important factor to consider. Generally, gypsum ceilings are more affordable in terms of initial material costs compared to PVC panels.

PVC ceilings might have a higher upfront cost, but their durability and low maintenance can lead to savings in the long run.

Fire Performance - Almost Ceiling panels, tiles, and planks achieve a Class A rating for flame/smoke spread, and are therefore suitable for use in most residential and commercial spaces. However, certain spaces require an even higher level of assurance. For example, for UL Fire-Rated assemblies, look for our Fire Guard items. Remember, UL tests entire systems. Look for both Fire Guard ceiling panels and grid main beams. Check with your local code officials to understand your project requirements. Find the fire classification on our Product Specifications page and as always, feel free to contact us if you have further questions.

Ceiling grids are critical structural components, often used in commercial and industrial settings to support acoustic tiles, lighting fixtures, and ventilation systems. While their primary function is support, how these grids are insulated can significantly impact energy consumption, indoor comfort, and overall building performance.
