By Marla Mills


Many people are nowadays using ceiling tiles for interiors of their buildings or homes. This is due to many factors such as; the lightness of these tiles hence easy installation process, sound proof and thermal insulation qualities. These materials are also convenient to use as they make the process of plumbing and electrical installation simple.

Apart from their functional purposes, these ceiling materials can also be used to improve aesthetics of a place. This is because there are some that have decorative surfaces and can be used to beautify a place. Therefore one does not have to worry about decor of the house, office or building. These items can also be made from different materials such as; plastic, aluminum, tin, ceramic, wool, wood, perlite, glass and fibers.

It is also good that people are aware of the different types of tiles that exist in the market today. To start the list is the suspended ceiling type also known as the false ceiling. These ones are used in places where owners want a lowered ceiling. Their process of installation involves suspension in a network of wires and this type makes the process of electrical wiring simple. Also with this kind, the process of redecoration and replacement of broken pieces is easy.

Another type is decorative tile. People who go for this kind are looking to improve the aesthetic of their homes, offices or buildings. They are available in various designs to suit different tastes therefore people have a wide array to choose from. They are installed by gluing to the ceiling.

Yet another kind is the acoustic version. This one has a distinct feature of sound proofing as they do not allow sound in a room to affect people in nearby rooms. They can either be suspended or decorative depending on how one wants them installed. This choice is suitable for persons that always keep their stereo and televisions loud all the time.

Another type is the plastic tile which is made from plastic. This one aids in improving insulation of a house. Since it is made of plastic, it is lighter and therefore easy to handle. Another aspect of this type of material is that it can last for long as it is not affected with mold or decomposition.

Metal tile is the last type that exists. Though not common, this type is mostly used by people who want to bring a vintage look to a place. It has a very distinct look from the others and has reflective features. They therefore improve the lighting of a place because of the reflective characteristics. There are not so many designs of this kind but whatever designs that exist still pass the intended message.
