- Do these fit a standard drop ceiling grid?
- Yes. They are sized for 15/16 inch T-bar grid and drop in without glue or clips. Check your grid face width before ordering, since narrower grids need different tiles.
- Are they really waterproof?
- The PVC body does not absorb water, so it resists damp, humidity and splashes better than mineral fiber. Standing water and leaks at the grid can still stain or loosen them.
- How much area does one pack cover?
- Twelve 24 x 24 inch tiles cover about 48 square feet. Buy extra for cuts, borders and damaged tiles.
- Can I cut them for lights and vents?
- Yes. The square edge cuts cleanly on a table saw or with a jigsaw, and you can drill or laser holes for fixtures. Cut outside or with ventilation, since PVC gives off dust and fumes.
- How do they compare with mineral fiber tiles?
- PVC wins on moisture, cleaning and durability. Mineral fiber wins on sound absorption, texture and a more finished look, and it is usually lighter.
- Do they help with noise?
- Not much. There is no acoustic backing, so they reflect sound. For a quieter room, use acoustic tiles or add insulation above the grid.
