Print/DownloadProduct Spec Sheet
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" - 1" T-Bar Ceiling Systems. Most of the thermoform ceiling tiles come in two sizes, 2'x2' and 2'x4'.
Not recommended for direct mount installation
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.

Boxed very well; delivery time is very fast. Customer service through Live Chat was very helpful. Extremely pleased with the quality for our finished basement.
We are very pleased with the new tile. Installation was fast and easy. The old tile fit perfectly in the new tile.
Larry, thank you for taking the time to share you experience! We are so glad that your project turned out looking great. The Stratford tile is definitely unique, being super installer-friendly. We don't recommend putting the weight of old tiles on top, due to the risk of bowing/bending the Stratford's 3-dimensional design, but it sounds like you were able to make it work. If you have any questions along the way, don't hesitate to reach out; anyone here would be happy to help. Thanks again for your review, and for including us in your project!
thank you for the suggestion to bring to the edges of the ceiling and still make it look like they belong
Product was here fast and was exactly what I wanted. It made my man cave look bigger and classy. Thanks for everything.
Installed these under the old tiles and it worked great. They look beautiful. The customer service was the best part!
Trini, thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We're so glad that you love the look, and we are happy to have assisted along the way. While we do not recommend putting old tiles right on top of the Stratford, due to its thin construction, some customers have had great success with that, and been able to retain the pre-existing insulation properties. Oftentimes, we recommend that to use old tiles, simply lift them up and turn slightly so the corners of the old tile rest on the metal of the grid itself and not the Stratford tile (there is a risk of deforming the Stratford with weight). Thanks again for your review, and for including us in your project!
I was so pleased that the delivery came promptly and the installation was simple enough even my husband could do it. The cost was reasonable.
We had a salon with big problems. Could not shut it down because the stylists depend on it for work. Sagging tiles, broken tiles, water stained tiles. It was horrible. What made it worse is when you get your hair cut you look right into it. We took 3 day working in the evening to replace it with the stratford vinyl tiles and using the serenity tiles for the places that had narrow pieces. It looks like a new salon.
These give my old kitchen a modern look, allow great light with new LED ceiling lights and taping the frame to match provides the right finishing touch. It's such a simple way to make an enormous improvement! Thank you!
This was very easy to install. The tile really gives the room a drastic change. Finally a solution to get rid of the lunchroom tile look. Everyone thinks it looks great
The ceiling tiles look wonderful. We can hardly wait until we get to use these rooms. I would definitely do them again.
I wouldn't purchase them again.Very poor quality.
Hi Michelle, thank you for taking the time to share your experience! We are very sorry that you found these to be of low quality. While the Stratford tiles are indeed very thin, they should sit nicely in the grid for many years once installed as long as no weight is on them. They are created thinner than other tiles to reduce cost and environmental impact, but we are happy to discuss alternatives or different options for you. I left a message to assist, so please just reach out when you have a few minutes. You are well within our 90-day return window, and it's important to us that you have a ceiling you love, so let us know how we can help. Thank you again for your review, and for including us in your project!
This tile makes the drop ceiling looks so modern and clean super thin which makes them appear cheap made but the weight difference is amazing. 10 of these have the same thick ess and the old ones I replaced but makes the drop ceiling track have alot less pull down we did 330 in an office easy to trim and maneuver will buy for the next office remodel
We completed our ceiling a few weeks ago and already have gotten so many compliments. People can't believe it when I take one down and they see it is vinyl and can be cut with regular scissors. It completely changed the look and feel of our lower level. Shipping is super fast too.
Everyone thinks I spent a fortune on my dropped ceiling and can't believe it when I hand them a tile to see up close. I really like this product a lot. This is my 4th order.
I've installed 'regular' ceiling tiles before and these are a breeze on comparison. Very easy to trim to shape and equally easy to put into place as you can bend them when you need to and they snap back into shape. The ceiling looks great.
