Suspended - Suspended ceilings are suspended below the actual
ceiling. A frame is suspended with fiberglass or other type
of composition tiles placed in the metal grid. These tiles are usually 2 x 2 feet or 2
x 4 feet in size.
Acoustical Tile - Acoustical tile is installed either in the
suspended ceiling grid systems or in permanently secured systems to wood
furring strips or metal framing. This material is heavier and more dense
than fiber or fiberglass ceiling materials, and provides greater insulation
and noise absorption. Stains are easily seen, and because of their textured
patterns, are difficult to
repair. Replacement may be difficult when trying to find the same pattern
or color.
