ABOUT CEILING PANELS

Ceiling Panels may be directly attached to the underside of a ceiling, to provide a decorative finish, and to provide sound and heat insulation. They may also be mounted in a metal framework as suspended ceilings. Ceiling Panels may be made from open-cell melamine based foam, or from formed thermoplastic. A wide range of raised patterns and colors is availble for ceiling panels. These include, for example, themed sporting patterns for recreation rooms.

The leading ceiling panel manufacturers, described below the panel of sponsored links, have comprehensive websites, with information on all aspects of ceiling panels, including online catalogs, colours and materials for ceiling panels, and care and maintenance of ceiling panels.
