Drop Ceiling Tiles & Drop-In Ceiling Panels

Drop ceiling tiles, also known as drop-in ceiling tiles, false ceiling panels or modular ceiling panels, are designed to fit into suspended ceiling grid systems. They provide a clean commercial finish while concealing lighting, cabling, ventilation and building services above the ceiling void.

Installing Drop Ceiling Tiles

Drop-in ceiling panels are installed within a suspended ceiling grid system. Perimeter trim is fixed around the room before the main runners and cross tees are suspended using wires and hangers. The modular ceiling panels are then laid into the grid openings.

This installation method makes drop ceiling systems one of the quickest and most flexible commercial ceiling solutions, while also allowing simple future maintenance access.
