PVC, Vinyl, and Plastic Ceiling Tiles Review and Cost 2022

About PVC, Vinyl, and Plastic Ceiling TilesPVC (Polyvinyl Chloride) and vinyl are both plastics. Ceiling tile manufacturers use all three names for their tiles, but they are essentially, the same thing. For simplicity, we will call them PVC ceiling tiles throughout this review.PVC decorative ceiling tiles are made by melting the plastic and forming it into tiles. PVC is thin, lightweight, very durable, and waterproof. They are available in a wide range of architectural styles and colors. PVC ceiling tiles are made in 2’ x 2’ and 2’ x 4’ sizes. These tiles are also 100% recyclable and most are Class A fire rated, though of course they will melt in intense heat.PVC ceiling tiles can be used in many applications:Standard drop or suspended ceiling gridsDirect mount ceiling grids (which is a grid system that is attached to the framing of the ceiling and does not drop down)Glued right onto the ceiling surfaceBe sure to check the recommended installation method when purchasing ceiling tiles to assure they will work with your installation method, as not all tiles are made to be installed in the same way.
