How many square feet does the 12-pack cover?

Twelve 2-ft by 4-ft panels cover 96 sq ft, minus any trimming at walls. Add 10 percent for cuts and breakage.

Does this tile fit a standard drop ceiling grid?

Yes. It is a nominal 2-ft by 4-ft lay-in panel for a standard 15/16-inch exposed grid. Check your grid module before ordering.

It works in dry basements and hides pipes and wiring. It is not moisture-resistant, so avoid damp rooms or use a rated panel there.

Cortega is entry level: less sound absorption and a plainer face than tiles like Ultima or Fine Fissured High NRC. Upgrade if acoustics matter.
