ABOUT CEILING TILES

Ceiling tiles normally form part of a suspended ceiling system, constructed of aluminium sections and hangers. Ceiling tiles may be made of mineral or metal. In the case of metal ceiling tiles, perforations are provided to produce sound absorption. Ceiling tiles may be removed for access either by unclipping, or by downward hinges. Where ceiling height is limited, ceiling tiles may be fixed directly to the underside of the ceiling.
