FAQs

What are acoustic ceiling tiles and how do they work?

Acoustic ceiling tiles are specially engineered panels that absorb sound and reduce reverberation in a space. They’re typically installed in suspended ceiling grids or directly onto the ceiling surface. By trapping and dissipating sound waves (particularly in the mid-to-high frequency range) they improve speech clarity and reduce background noise, making spaces like classrooms, offices and halls much more comfortable and functional.

Where are acoustic ceiling tiles most effective?

These tiles work best in spaces with hard surfaces, high ceilings, or poor sound control (like school halls, libraries, meeting rooms, or open-plan offices). In these environments, ceiling reflections are a major source of echo and noise build-up. By treating the ceiling, you're tackling one of the largest sound-reflective surfaces in the room.

Can acoustic ceiling tiles improve both acoustics and aesthetics?

Yes. Modern acoustic ceiling tiles come in a variety of finishes, colours and sizes, and many are designed to blend seamlessly with your ceiling or act as a design feature. Whether you want a minimal look or an architectural statement, there are options that combine high acoustic performance with visual appeal.

Are acoustic ceiling tiles easy to install and maintain?

Most tiles are lightweight and can be installed into standard ceiling grid systems or surface-mounted depending on the space. At Floors Plus, we provide full installation services, ensuring each tile is fitted for optimal acoustic performance. Once installed, they’re low maintenance - most can be vacuumed or wiped down as needed.
