Polystyrene ceiling tiles offer insulation, decorative options, increased safety, and lower maintenance costs. They can be installed in a suspended ceiling or attached to existing surfaces. They also have intrinsic insulation value and can reduce heating and cooling costs while reducing noise levels. They can be used to hide fire protection systems and are easy to maintain.
Using polystyrene ceiling tiles in your home or office offers several distinct advantages over traditional ceilings. Some of these benefits include the ability to add an extra layer of insulation between the suspended ceiling and the roof of the structure, decorative effects, increased safety and lower maintenance costs. Polystyrene ceiling tiles also offer flexibility in installation method because the tiles can be installed into a suspended ceiling structure or directly attached to existing ceiling surfaces. By incorporating polystyrene ceiling tiles into a remodeling project, building owners can often dramatically reduce the cost of time and money spent on the project, while producing an aesthetically pleasing look to the room.
Polystyrene ceiling tiles have intrinsic value as insulation boards due to the materials used in the construction of the board. In addition to this insulating factor, the tiles are often installed in a suspended ceiling, creating a cushion of air between the frame of the ceiling tiles and the actual ceiling or roof of the structure. This airspace is sometimes filled with fiberglass insulation to provide additional insulating properties. Insulation helps regulate the transmission of air or sound through the ceiling, thereby lowering heating and cooling costs and reducing noise levels in multi-level structures.
The use of polystyrene ceiling tiles as decorative ceiling tiles is also common in many areas. In new construction, the use of polystyrene ceiling tiles to create a suspended ceiling can reduce construction costs and allow space for installing vents or above ceiling plumbing that is completely hidden from view by the decorative ceiling tiles. false ceiling. Ceiling tiles come in a variety of patterns, embossed designs or textures allowing interior designers to create a whole new look even for remodeling projects, giving the owner of an older building the opportunity to hide unsightly water damaged ceilings or other nasties with a new decorative ceiling available in patterns that complement antique tin tiles or other designer looks.
While standard fiber ceilings are not recommended for ceiling installations covering fire containment systems, polystyrene ceilings can be used safely. In places where fire protection systems are required, such as office buildings and apartment buildings, suspended ceiling structures are sometimes used to hide the fire system plumbing from view. When the fire sprinkler is activated, the polystyrene ceiling tiles melt, allowing the fire system to do its job effectively, while traditional standard fiber ceiling tiles absorb water and can hinder the effectiveness of the system firefighting.
Maintaining Styrofoam ceiling tile installations is usually a simple task. The ceiling tiles are washable and will not mold, stain, flake or crumble under normal conditions. As an advantage over traditional plasterboard ceilings, in the unlikely event that a polystyrene ceiling tile installation is damaged, only the affected tiles need to be replaced, which can be done in minutes by even the untrained person.
