Frequently Asked Questions
Are these ceiling tiles environmentally friendly?
Yes, AlphaSorb® Designer Premium Acoustic Felt Ceiling Tiles are 100% recyclable and made of 50% recycled materials.
Are these ceiling tiles energy efficient?
CISCA studies show that compared to open plenum ceilings, suspended ceilings offer a 12.7–17% energy cost savings.
What is acoustical felt (PET)?
Polyethylene terephthalate, better known as PET felt, is a unique material. Strong and sturdy, it is better at controlling acoustics than ordinary drop ceiling panels.
PET felt looks and feels like wool, but this innovative acoustic felt is made of recycled water and soda bottles and can contain anywhere from 50% to 100% post-recycled content. It is formed into sheets that can be transformed into panels, tiles, light fixtures, and even furniture, all of which do a superior job of absorbing sound and controlling the acoustics in a room or building.
PET acoustic felt is highly durable plus easy to clean and maintain. It doesn’t contain organic material, so it won’t begin to degrade or crumble with time, and you can use it in a wide variety of settings without worrying about maintenance or care.
At the end of its lifespan, it is also fully recyclable, making it an excellent green choice for today’s eco-conscious companies.
Are these tiles Clean Air Gold certified?
These tiles received a Clean Air Gold Certification Report in November of 2022. Certificate Number: CA-31697-2022a.
What is Clean Air Gold certification?
Clean Air Gold is the highest certification that the third-party laboratory Intertek can give for products that show excellent performance in minimal emissions of Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC).
Are these ceiling tiles fire rated?
These tiles have been tested by independent laboratories and achieve the highest rating of Class A Fire and Smoke according to ASTM E84-21a test standards.
What are the dimensions of the ceiling tiles?
All tiles are 23 5/8" x 23 5/8" so that the tiles drop into new and existing grid systems. The depth of dimensional and recessed designs are between 1" and 3-1/8."
What are the NRC ratings of these ceiling tiles?
AlphaSorb® Designer Premium Acoustic Felt Ceiling Tiles have an NRC rating between 0.75 and 0.83.
How much do the tiles weigh?
Individual standard tiles weigh as little as 18 oz. whereas deeper tile designs weigh up to 26 oz.
How do you install tiles where sprinkler heads and motion sensors are present?
Using a sharp utility knife, measure and cut holes to size. Cut from the finished face toward the back of the tile to prevent any torn threads from becoming visible.
Can dimensional or recessed tiles be used where motion sensors are present?
Standard or 1" Tegular tiles are the best tiles to use where ceiling-mounted motion sensors are located to ensure unobstructed sensing.
How much weight can the tiles hold once installed into a grid system?
Ceiling tiles in general are not designed to support weight. Objects in a suspended ceiling system should be independently supported.
Can tiles be surface-mounted onto a grid?
Tiles are designed to drop into new and existing ceiling grid systems.
Are ceiling tile clips necessary for installation?
Generally speaking, no, but in areas with drafts or suction, clips may be desired.
If water leaks onto the tiles, will they grow mold or mildew?
AlphaSorb® Designer Premium Acoustic Felt Ceiling Tiles are naturally mold and mildew resistant. Natural resistance to mold and mildew is the gold standard. Prolonged exposure to moisture will commonly cause mold and mildew on any material. Sources of moisture should be eliminated as soon as possible to prevent mold and mildew growth.
Can tiles be used in food and beverage preparation areas?
Our ceiling tiles typically do not meet building codes for food and beverage preparation areas. Most building codes require a smooth, wipeable surface above food preparation areas. Please check your local building codes.
