Other Ceiling Types

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.
