How Much Do Replacement Ceiling Tiles Cost?

The cost for your replacement ceiling tiles depends on whether you are matching up to an existing ceiling tile, or if you are changing the type of tiles you have. Your current ceiling tiles may just be cheaper ones, or they could be a high spec board which would of course cost much more to replace. You should also factor in the suspended ceiling instillation cost unless you are replacing them yourself.

The average box of ceiling tiles costs around £50.00 + vat, and you would receive 16 600mm x 600mm ceiling tiles for that cost. If you were looking for a higher caliber ceiling tile such as a Microlook edge ceiling tiles, your cost on average would jump to around £100.00 + vat per box of 16 tiles.

Bulk discounts do apply on replacement tile orders, so that must be considered. You would tend to receive these discounts on orders that are over 100m2, and you can see significant price drops for larger products where you have hundreds to thousands of square meters to cover.

How To Match My Replacement Tiles

When we are performing ceiling tiles replacement, we want to ensure that we either match up to your existing tiles or provide you with a better newer option if applicable. But when matching existing, it can be difficult to identify which tiles you have. The main things you must do to identify your ceiling tiles are: -

• Check for any codes, numbers or brand names on the back of the tile
• Measure the tile and check the thickness
• Check whether the tile has a board edge, tegular edge or microlook edge detail
• Compare the surface pattern to that of our range online

There a few different materials used to make ceiling tiles, so you should check whether you have mineral fibre ceiling tiles, glass wool tiles or gypsum tiles. This will identifying them easier. If the above don’t make it clear which tile you have, then send us some pictures of the front, back and edge of the ceiling tiles, so we can help identify this for you: sales@ceiling-tiles.co.uk.

Can You Replace Ceiling Tiles?

You certainly can, but depending on the system you have in place, would depend on how simple this would be to do.

Standard mineral fibre and rockwool based ceiling tiles should simply lift out of your grid system, allowing you to place a replacement in its place. However, more specialist tiles such as metal concealed system may be more problematic to replace. Suspended ceiling installation isn't always straight forward, but learning how to install ceiling tiles correctly can be hugely beneficial, as it can save on both time and cost.

What Is The Cheapest Way To Replace Ceiling Tiles?

The cheapest way to replace ceiling tiles, is to replace them yourself. This reduces the cost of paying a company labour to do it, however you must be capable of measuring and correctly cutting the replacements to size, otherwise you may cost yourself more in wrongly cut or damaged tiles.

Should I Replace the Ceiling Grid As well?

This would all depend on the condition of the ceiling grid. If the ceiling grid has deteriorated over the years, showing signs of damage or weakness, then we would certainly recommend that you replace the grid also. Many people change the ceiling grid to ensure that the new white ceiling tiles will look good when in the grid, as older grids can become more yellow like in colour over time.

You can attempt to clean the ceiling grid, before putting the new tiles in. We recommend using sugar soap and repeatedly wiping down each part of the ceiling grid. Not all grids will look like new once cleaned, as the years of grime build up and can be hard to shift.

Can I Use Any Replacement Tiles?

When replacing ceiling tiles, it is important to check the size of tiles that exist in the system, or measure the internal sizes of the ceiling grid. This is to ensure that whichever new tiles you choose, will fit in place of your old tiles. Ceiling tiles come in many sizes, thicknesses and edge details, and grid sizes do differ, so we must check the sizes before committing to a specific tile.

Water Damaged Ceiling Tiles

One of the most frequent damages to ceiling tiles is due to water damage from leaks and condensation. Ceiling tiles don’t like water, as they are made from such materials as mineral fibre and rockwool, which absorbs water like a sponge. As a result, your tiles can either start to crumble or appear with water marks on their surface.

When replacing water damaged tiles, it is critical to find where the water initially came from, to repair and prevent it from happening again. You wouldn’t want to be spending money on new ceiling tiles, just for them to get damaged shortly after instillation.

Condensation is usually the hardest issue to fix, as it occurs in voids where hot and cold air meet. To resolve this, you may need to insulate the void using insulation pads, this should help regulate the temperature in summer and winter, preventing condensation.

Yellowed Ceiling Tiles

Almost everybody has walked into a room and found yellow-looking ceiling tiles in their lifetime. Yellow tiles look ugly and dirty, so replacing these tiles will help make your room look, smell, and feel better almost instantly. But why do these tiles become yellow in appearance? This is commonly caused by smoking, or airborne grease from deep fat friers and such like equipment. The only way to prevent this from happening Is to have good ventilation and clean the ceiling tiles routinely.

All of the replacement ceiling tiles that we sell here In the UK offer a great white appearance, which enhances any ceiling system, making them clean and fresh.

Do New Ceiling Tiles Help with Energy Bills?

Ceiling panels can certainly help retain heat in your room and stop excess heat from being lost above the system and in the void. If your current tiles are old and damaged, the chances are that are letting heat escape, which in return means you are spending much more money annually on your energy bills to heat the space. By replacing your ceiling tiles to newer, stronger and more energy efficient ceiling tiles, you should see a gained advantage on your heating bills.

Ceiling tiles are not usually designed to focus on heat loss, but the make up of the tiles does allow them to retain heat and help keep your room warm. However, if you are struggling with heat loss, our team will be able to help specify a system for you that will boost the energy efficiency of your ceiling.
