FAQ

Ceiling tiles are a tile usually made out of mineral fibre, glasswool and gypsum, that are installed into a suspended ceiling grid system.

The short answer is yes, ceiling tiles are generally fire rated. But to ensure that you have a fire rated ceiling system, you must ensure that you are using a tile and grid system that have been tested and fire certified in your application.

Ceiling tiles range from around £7m2 up to over £50m2, the cost would be dependent upon the brand, style and technical properties of the tile.

The two most standard sizes of ceiling tiles are the 600mm x 600mm square tiles, and the 1200mm x 600mm rectangular tiles. These are made by all manufacturers, but there are other specialist sizes available on request such as 600mm x 300mm, 900mm x 600mm and many more. However these are usually expensive and made to order.

The most popular and main brands of ceiling tiles are Armstrong, Zentia, Rockfon, Ecophon and Knauf Ceiling Solutions.

This would depend on the tile and size of the order. Standard orders are delivered within 1-4 working days.

Tatra ceiling tiles can be used in almost every suspended ceiling system. The only consideration would be what your ceiling system will be used for, such as fire ratings, sound proofing etc. The Armstrong Tatra tile is used more as a decorative and cost effective option, so wouldn't be used to improve a ceilings technical properties, but more its appearance.

The Tatra is easily recognisable, due to its worm like patter on the surface. Not many ceiling tiles share a resemblance to this, so the tile tends to stand out. If you aren't sure by looking at the face pattern, then check the back of the tile, which should have a stamp that tells you either the name or the BP code, which in this case should read either BP958M for the board edge version, or BP962M for the tegular edged tile.
