The Role of Grid Ceilings
In addition to their durability and versatility, our PVC Gypsum Ceiling Tiles are also designed with ease of installation in mind. The lightweight construction and standardized sizing make them simple to handle and install, saving time and effort during the installation process. This makes them an excellent choice for both professional contractors and DIY enthusiasts.
The R-value of insulation materials is crucial for determining their effectiveness. Generally, the higher the R-value, the better the insulation performance. Mineral wool boards typically have an R-value ranging from 3 to 4 per inch, depending on their density and thickness. For instance, a 2-inch-thick mineral wool board could potentially offer an R-value of approximately 6 to 8.
1. Main Runners These are the primary support beams that run the length of the room. They are typically installed first and are responsible for bearing most of the load from the ceiling tiles.
Another significant application of mineral fiber boards is in fire protection systems. The natural properties of the inorganic fibers give these boards a high fire resistance rating, making them ideal for use in commercial buildings, industrial facilities, and residential constructions where fire safety is a priority. They help to contain fires, delay their spread, and protect structural components from heat damage.
