These thermoform tiles are made from UV Stabilized .013" thick vinyl plastic. They are designed to provide all the functionality of conventional drop ceiling tiles at a fraction of the weight. The feather-light construction makes them a breeze to install, easy to clean, stain resistant, water resistant, dust free, and eco friendly! Installation is fast and couldn't be any easier.

Designed to fit all standard 15/16" T-Bar Ceiling Systems. Will not fit in a 9/16" grid, please measure the visible width of your grid.

Not recommended for direct mount installation

Most of the thermoform ceiling tiles come in two sizes, 2'x2' and 2'x4', but if you have a 2x4 grid ceiling and would prefer the look of the 2x2 ceiling tiles, simply insert a 2' center T bar available online or at most local hardware stores...it's easy!

5 Year ProShield Warranty
The ceiling tile manufacturer guarantees that your ceiling tiles will be free from manufacturing defects for a period of five years from the date of purchase. Limitations apply. See full warranty information below.

UL Listing/Certification
ProLite ceiling tiles bearing this mark are UL tested and approved drop-out ceiling panels that can be installed beneath fire sprinklers. When exposed to heat from a developing fire, drop-out ceiling panels soften, distort, and fall from the ceiling grid. Heat from the growing fire activates the sprinkler which, unimpeded by the panels, controls or extinguishes the fire.

Highlights:
The Southland Grid Tile is a great style if you desire to upgrade the look of your current ceiling while maintaining a laid-back feel. Being that it is Class A Fire rated, it is an excellent choice for most businesses and homes. We are also proud to say that it is made in the USA.

Things to Consider:
The Southland tile is not suitable for use as a direct mount tile since it is not flat on the back.

While only .013" thick, the embossed design gives it the rigidity and structure needed to support itself in the grid without sagging. To avoid the risk of sagging, we discourage placing any weight directly on the tile, with the exception of our Soniguard insulation; it has been tested and approved for this purpose as an alternative to traditional insulation. If you would like to keep your existing acoustical tile in the grid for insulation or sound barrier purposes, we recommend that you place it above the framework so that it is not putting any weight on the Southland.

If your grid is already white and in good condition, it should match the white Southland tile very well. If you are going with a colored option, we highly recommend that you consider the Grid Tape or Grid Strips since they are color coordinated with the ProLite collection. If you would prefer to avoid the extra expense, you can, of course, paint your grid as well.

Looks fantastic

This ceiling tile is lightweight and allows a good amount of light through. It was extremely easy to cut and measure; these tiles provide a great update to our laundry room. Very easy to clean as well. Would 100% recommend!

This is a fantastic product.

These tiles are exactly as advertised. They are very easy to install and they look great. I have already received a lot of compliments on them and my project is not even completely finished.

Worked out great!

Just what we needed. Easy to install with minimal clearance

good

The tiles are lighter than you expect, so mounting lights to it is tough plus the ridges make it so it's easier to use different options for lighting. The appearance and design is worth the price. The best info I heard was who is going to be touching the tiles anyway so why worry about thickness.

Looks Great

With this material, I much prefer the 2x2 over 2x4 (the latter is too flexible and challenge to install.

Easy to install, modify, and looks better than traditional drop-ceiling tiles.

Great customer service that was responsive. They followed up to track the shipment, let me know when it was delivered, and helped resolve an issue quickly and easily. The product is great as well!

Perfect solution

For several years I dreaded the thought of replacing the stained and broken ceiling tiles in my utility room. I knew I could not work around protruding pipes without breaking the new tiles. When I came across these plastic tiles I thought I'd give them a try. They were easy to work with and cut with scissors. Best of all, I was able to easily cut out circular holes for protruding pipes. By simply slicing a straight line to the tile edge, the tile could then be bent back to allow the tile to wrap around the pipe. The bent part would then snap back into place and the cut would be barely noticeable. A great time saver.

A.M.A.Z.I.N.G. Transformation !

My husband I discovered this product while out to lunch one day. A new restaurant in our area had done a remodel on an existing building. The owner graciously provided us product information. We immediately ordered 6 samples. Quick shipping had us install the samples and order enough product to refresh our family room, which happens to be 12 feet below ground with the design of our home. No natural is not a problem. The tiles selected brought a refresh of design and even an element of "decor". We have provided purchasing information to numerous family and friends. Edde (Customer Service Representative) has been AMAZING to work with!! ????? 5 Star Review !! Paula Appel

Awesome Tiles

Easy to cut and changes the whole look of the room. These are easily washable not like the traditional tiles. I am far from a handyman and was able to cut and place these at will.

Looks fantastic

I got them for my laundry room as access is needed to the actual ceiling. While they are flimsy they work perfect and are really, really nice to look at. Maybe most ceiling tiles are flimsy not sure, no experience with them. Don't let that stop you from getting these tiles. Once they are up, they make quite a nice statement. Product was well packaged, no issues with this company what-so-ever.
