The Stratford Vinyl Ceiling Tile - Sand 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.

UL Listing/Certification
Certain ProLite ceiling tiles are approved drop-out ceiling panels that can be installed beneath fire sprinklers.

Waterproof
Materials used in the construction of the tile(s) are 100% waterproof.

Class A Fire Rated
Tiles have been tested in accordance with ASTM 84e and scored a Class A rating for flame spread and smoke generation.

Very pleasing look

The coffer tiles give the ceiling a nice finished look without looking like a drop ceiling.

The service, delivery amd product were all very good. If you have the budget to allow for these ceiling tiles then use this company. Great service. And the tiles definitely bring the whole room to a different level.

Effective visual effect

We used this tile in our bathroom to replace ceiling tiles that we found out were made out of sheet rock. They look great, though they don't dampen noise very well. Their lightness made them susceptible to dents, but that was probably because the installers were amateurs!

poor quality

the tile was very thin as compared to the other Stratford tiles i bought as a compliment as cut tiles, very disappointed.

Hi Marty, Thank you for taking the time to leave a review! We are very sorry that you were disappointed in these ceiling tiles. We stand behind their quality 100%, and left you a voicemail and email to see how we can help. It does not appear that you have ordered from us before, but there is a version of this tile that is thicker. For most customers, the thickness is not important because the Stratford sits just as nicely in the grid as the thicker, more expensive version. When you are available, please reach back out to us as we want to make sure you are happy with your purchase. Thank you again!

Looks okay

The tile itself looks okay and it was very easy to cut if you have strange angles that you need to cut. I used the grid tape to cover over a white grid and it is the perfect fit.

Beautiful look and easy install

It is amazing how the room looks with these and my husband loves the lightweight feel, the ease of install and of course the price from traditional drop ceilings. Was able to get a more fashionable look.
