Mineral Fiber Ceiling

Mineral Fiber Ceiling System

Mineral Fiber Ceiling Tiles are engineered to provide excellent sound absorption and a range of functional benefits, making them a reliable choice for various commercial and residential applications.

Key Specifications:

  • Humidity Resistance: Up to 90% RH
  • Noise Reduction Coefficient (NRC): 0.65 (Good sound absorption)
  • Light Reflectance: Greater than 84% (Enhances brightness in spaces)
  • Fire Resistance: Complies with BS476 (Part 6 & 7) standards
  • Acoustic Management: 0.80 NRC (Effective in sound management)

Composition:

Mineral fiber ceiling tiles are primarily made from:

  • Recycled newspaper
  • Perlite
  • Fiberglass
  • Mineral wool
  • Binding agents

These materials create a highly effective sound-absorbing product while ensuring an eco-friendly profile, as they are not made with asbestos.

Applications:

Mineral fiber ceilings are versatile and suitable for various project types, including:

  • Patch & Match Jobs: Ideal for schools, offices, and retail spaces needing replacement of stained or damaged tiles.
  • Full Renovation Projects: Offers an affordable suspended ceiling option without sacrificing performance.
  • Grid Retrofitting: Replace old tiles while retaining existing grid systems for cost efficiency.
  • Modernization: Convert a 24” x 48” ceiling grid to a more modern 24” x 24” configuration, minimizing demolition work.

Performance Benefits:

  1. Acoustic Performance:

    • Designed to absorb sound, reducing echoes and feedback (NRC) while blocking noise between spaces (CAC).
    • Particularly effective in classrooms to enhance learning environments by controlling background noise.

  2. Light Reflectance:

    • High light reflectance enhances brightness in rooms, reducing energy costs and improving overall aesthetics.
    • This feature helps create brighter spaces, making environments more inviting and pleasant.

  3. Moisture Resistance:

    • Advanced moisture resistance helps prevent mold and mildew growth, as well as sagging.
    • BioBlock Plus: Anti-microbial treatment to combat mold and mildew in damp conditions.
    • HumiGuard Plus: Recommended for areas exposed to high humidity (not suitable for outdoor use).

  4. Cleanability:

    • Certain products designed for high-sanitization areas (healthcare, labs, food prep) offer cleanable surfaces, ensuring hygiene.
    • Different cleaning methods may be required based on tile finishes and textures.

  5. Fire Performance:

    • Most mineral fiber ceiling tiles achieve a Class A rating for flame and smoke spread.
    • For specific requirements, UL Fire-Rated items are available, providing additional assurance for safety in commercial applications.

The Mineral Fiber Ceiling System combines functionality with aesthetics, making it an ideal solution for spaces requiring excellent acoustic performance, moisture resistance, and ease of maintenance. Its eco-friendly composition and high-performance ratings make it suitable for a wide range of environments, from educational institutions to corporate offices and healthcare facilities.
