Suspended ceiling tiles offer versatility in terms of acoustics and visual appearance. Whether selecting mineral fibre, metal or plasterboard ceiling tiles, each type brings unique properties.
Acoustic ceiling tiles are particularly valuable for improving speech intelligibility in high-noise environments. Fire rated ceiling tiles, on the other hand, offer essential safety features for compliance in specific building types.
How Can Variations in Colour Shading Between Ceiling Tiles Be Minimised When Fitting a Large Suspended Ceiling System?
To prevent colour shading variations, ordering all ceiling tiles at the same time is key. This ensures consistent pigmentation and tone across the installation. Also, carefully inspecting tiles before installation and setting aside any noticeable colour differences can help create a uniform appearance.
Whether you’re working with white or black suspended ceiling tiles, mixing tiles from different batches should be avoided.
How Many Ceiling Tiles Are in a Box?
The number of ceiling tiles per box can vary depending on the specific product, tile size and ceiling tile suppliers. A box of suspended ceiling tiles 600x600 typically contains 16 tiles, providing coverage of approximately 6 square meters.
Larger suspended ceiling tiles 1200 x 600 may have fewer tiles per box to account for the increased surface area. Be sure to check the ceiling tile product information box or contact your trade account manager for more information.
