PVC Laminated Gypsum Ceiling Tiles (Base) | Offices, commercial buildings, décor | - Fire Resistance: Class C (ASTM E84) - Sound Absorption: NRC 0.5 - Moisture Resistance: 48h water exposure (ASTM C1336) - Heat Insulation: R-value 0.8 - Mould Resistance: ASTM G21 compliant | Cost-effective, integrated design, artistic laminated surface for aesthetics | Lower fire rating than Advanced, limited sound absorption for noisy environments |
PVC Laminated Gypsum Ceiling Tiles (Advanced) | High-safety commercial spaces, hospitals | - Fire Resistance: Class A (ASTM E84) ▲ - Sound Absorption: NRC 0.7 ▲ - Moisture Resistance: 72h ▲ - Heat Insulation: R-value 1.2 ▲ - Mould Resistance: 0% growth after 14 days ▲ | Enhanced safety, superior sound/heat control, ideal for critical environments | Higher cost than Base version |
Mineral Fiber Ceiling Tiles | General offices, schools | - Fire Resistance: Class A - Sound Absorption: NRC 0.6–0.8 - Moisture Resistance: Limited (may sag) - Heat Insulation: R-value 0.6–0.9 - Mould Resistance: Requires treatment | Widely available, good sound absorption, standard fire safety | Moderate moisture resistance, may need additional mold treatment |
Foam Core Acoustic Panels | Recording studios, theaters | - Fire Resistance: Class B (varies) - Sound Absorption: NRC 0.8–0.9 - Moisture Resistance: Poor (water absorption) - Heat Insulation: R-value 2.0 - Mould Resistance: Prone to mould | Excellent sound absorption, customizable aesthetics | Poor moisture resistance, lower fire safety, requires protective coatings |
Metal Ceiling Tiles | Industrial kitchens, high-moisture areas | - Fire Resistance: Non-combustible (Class A) - Sound Absorption: NRC 0.1–0.3 - Moisture Resistance: Excellent (no absorption) - Heat Insulation: Poor (conducts heat) - Mould Resistance: None required | Durable, moisture-proof, fire-safe | Minimal sound absorption, conducts heat, limited decorative appeal |
Fire-Rated Mineral Wool Panels | Hospitals, server rooms | - Fire Resistance: 2-hour rating (ASTM E119) - Sound Absorption: NRC 0.5 - Moisture Resistance: Poor (needs protection) - Heat Insulation: R-value 3.0 - Mould Resistance: Requires treatment | Exceptional fire protection, superior thermal insulation | Poor moisture resistance, heavier installation, requires mold protection |
