Superior Sag/Humidty Resistance (HUMIGUARD Plus) in ceilings is recommended for areas subject to high humidity, excluding standing water and outdoor applications.

1. Residential Spaces In homes, access panels are commonly installed in areas like bathrooms, kitchens, and laundry rooms, where plumbing and electrical systems require periodic inspections.

What are Mineral Fiber Ceiling Tiles?

Lastly, maintenance of calcium silicate grid ceilings is relatively low. They are easy to clean and do not require extensive care, unlike some other ceiling types that may need frequent repainting or repair. This quality makes them a practical choice for both homeowners and facility managers, saving time and money in the long run.

It is also important to select the right type of access panel for the intended function. For example, panels meant for high-traffic areas may require a sturdier, more durable construction than those placed in less accessible spots.

2. Hinged Access Panels Similar to a door, hinged panels allow for easy opening and closing, providing quick access to the concealed area without completely removing the panel.

Installation Process

Beyond their aesthetic appeal, concealed spline ceiling tiles offer numerous practical benefits. Installation is relatively straightforward and can be completed rapidly, reducing labor costs and minimizing disruption in both residential and commercial settings. The tile system is designed for easy removal, which simplifies access to electrical and plumbing systems hidden above the ceiling. This feature is particularly valuable in commercial applications, where ongoing maintenance and access to utilities are often necessary.

Acoustics - Noise is one of the most distracting issues within spaces no matter where you go: restaurants, grocery stores, offices, etc. Our suspended ceiling tiles are designed to handle sound absorption (less echos and feedback, also known as “NRC”) and sound blocking (noise traveling between closed spaces, also known as “CAC”). Not only is it important to control the noise in a space (sound absorption), but also it’s equally important to maintain privacy in areas such as classrooms, exam rooms, meeting spaces as well as offices (sound blocking). 

5. Sound Insulation The inherent sound-absorbing qualities of gypsum boards, coupled with the acoustic benefits of PVC, create an effective sound barrier. This is particularly advantageous in residential buildings, hotels, and offices where noise reduction is essential for comfort and privacy.

A metal drywall ceiling grid is a framework made of metal, typically steel, that supports drywall panels. This grid system serves as a structural element to hold the ceiling in place, creating a flat surface that can be finished with various materials. The grid compliments the drywall by providing a strong undercarriage that can withstand weight and resist warping, making it a reliable choice in both residential and commercial settings.
