The Stratford Vinyl Ceiling Tile - Black is made from a UV Stabilized .013" thick vinyl plastic. It is designed to provide all the functionality of conventional drop ceiling tiles at a fraction of the weight. The feather-light construction makes it easy to install, easy to clean, stain resistant, water resistant, dust free, and resource friendly! Installation is fast and couldn't be any easier.

Designed to fit all standard 15/16" - 1" T-Bar Ceiling Systems. Most of the thermoform ceiling tiles come in two sizes, 2'x2' and 2'x4'.

FYI - If you have a 2x4 grid ceiling, but 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 Stratford 2x2 grid tile is our most popular drop ceiling tile. Its classic simplicity makes it a great option for any type of space. Our customers are continually amazed at its ability to transform the look of their room. Being that it is FDA compliant, it is an excellent choice for restaurants. We are also proud to say that it is made in the USA.

Things to Consider:
Since the Stratford tile is not flat on the back, it is not suitable for use as a direct mount tile.

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 Stratford.

It is more than likely that your room has partial tiles around the perimeter. Not to worry- The Stratford tile lays nice and flat in the grid when cut to any size. Since the recession of the design is only .5", the gap is unnoticeable for most applications. View product images and customer installation photos for examples.

If your grid is already white and in good condition, it should match the white Stratford 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.

Awesome looking tile!

I was on the fence about buying these tile versus the expensive metal ones and I'm glad I bought these. You can't tell the difference and not a single person has noticed they are not metal. The ceilings are the first thing everyone notices.

Customer loves it!

Used these on a basement renovation project. First time we have used them. My installers were super happy about the ease of installation and the customer was overwhelmed by how gorgeous their ceiling looks. Couldn't be happier - these tiles are my new go to for estimates involving drop ceilings.

Quite the show-stopper

We wanted to turn our basement into an entertainment room. One large room in now a theater, game center, bar, and exercise room. If only we had more space we wouldn't have crammed it all in. Still a work in progress, bu the ceiling is done expect to HVAC ducts that need addressing. Be sure to get the more rigid version tile for your lights and HVAC points. I did NOT and had to work extra hard to take care of it and make it work.

Super easy to install

These were very easy to install. They slide right in and even if you bend it a little, it snaps right back. Simple to cut too, just need regular scissors. Everyone thinks they look great and no one knows they are plastic. They definitely don't look cheap.
