FAQ: Professional FAQ on Mineral Fiber Board Technology
Technical FAQ on Mineral Fiber Ceiling Tiles
- Q1: What is the typical composition of mineral fiber board?
- Mineral fiber board primarily comprises mineral wool (80~85%), perlite, starch, binders, and select performance additives for increased RH and fire resistance. Advanced boards utilize eco-friendly recycled mineral content per EN13964.
- Q2: Which product standards or certification does Xingyuan's tiles comply with?
- Compliance with ISO 9001:2015, ISO 14001:2015, ASTM E84 (Fire), EN 13501-1 (Class A1), EN 13964 (CE for suspended ceilings), and ISO 846 (antimicrobial).
- Q3: Can mineral fiber false ceiling tiles be custom-sized?
- Yes. Standard sizes include 600x600mm, 1200x600mm, with custom dimensions or edge types (MicroLook, beveled, concealed grid, etc) available on request for interior fit-out or specialist projects.
- Q4: How are acoustic properties like NRC defined and measured?
- NRC (Noise Reduction Coefficient) is measured per ASTM C423—values range from 0.50 to 0.75 in premium tiles, effective for open office, education, healthcare sectors.
- Q5: What are the recommended installation standards or practices?
- EN 13964 sets suspended ceiling system guidelines. Proper grid spacing, wide T-bar use (24mm), anti-sag clips/anchors, and expansion joints are recommended for large areas or high humidity environments.
- Q6: What is the average service life and typical warranty?
- Xingyuan’s mineral fiber board offers a 10-year performance warranty. Life expectancy is 10~15 years with correct installation and RH conditions (≤95%).
- Q7: What unique surface/coating treatments are offered?
- Micro-perforations, anti-bacterial coating (ISO 846), dust-repellent top-coat, and color matching for project branding or healthcare/hospitality markets.
