Why You Should Consider Installing Acoustic Ceiling Tiles
Written by Milan Jara on 27th Dec 2019
It is a common misconception that soundproofing is limited to wall panels. Soundproofing your ceiling can improve the acoustics in your space and limit the amount of disruptive noise that impacts other rooms.
Sound Absorbing Ceiling Tiles
Acoustic ceiling tiles are one of the most cost-effective ways to control noise in your home or commercial space. They help reduce noise by absorbing sound waves that would otherwise reflect off of your ceiling and reverberate around the room. Acoustic ceiling tiles also prevent sound waves from penetrating your ceiling which means less noise for the rooms above. Essentially, acoustic ceiling tiles work by absorbing, blocking, and scattering sound.
What are the Advantages of Acoustic Ceiling Tiles?
There are many reasons why you should consider acoustic ceiling tiles for your space.
Ease of Installation
One of the main advantages of acoustic ceiling tiles is how easy they are to install. Unlike sound limiting insulation and soundproof drywall, acoustic ceiling tiles do not require a major renovation project.
Our acoustic ceiling tiles can be dropped directly into an existing suspended ceiling grid system. This means you simply replace your current ceiling tiles with acoustic ceiling tiles to immediately gain the benefits of a sound-absorbing ceiling. You can also install acoustic ceiling tiles using a simple nail-up method. If you do not have an existing dropped ceiling grid network or do not want to install one, simply nail our acoustic tiles directly into your ceiling.
Acoustic tiles were designed with homeowners in mind. You do not need to undergo a massive project to install them.
They Are Affordable
While other soundproofing options can be quite expensive, acoustic ceiling tiles can be installed on a low budget. The tiles themselves are relatively inexpensive and have no minimum purchase amount so you can order the exact number of acoustical ceiling tiles you need for your space without overbuying. Whether you want to limit noise pollution coming from a small dining room or sound from a larger space like a finished basement, you can do so without blowing your budget.
Another reason to consider acoustic ceiling tiles is the value they can add to your property. People are becoming increasingly aware of the importance of good acoustics and noise reduction. If you consider this in your house or commercial space, you can increase the resale value.
They Are Extremely Versatile
When most people think of soundproofing options, they think of ugly, grey soundproof foam panels stapled to a wall. With acoustic ceiling tiles, you do not have to sacrifice looks for function.

Acoustic tiles can be used for many applications. While some people use them for greater control of the acoustics in their space, others create a partial sound barrier between one room and another. For example, we see acoustic tiles used to separate rental properties. If you are renting a basement, you may want to limit the noise traveling from one unit to another through the ceiling. Acoustic ceiling tiles are an easy way to do this.
