How much do you know about ceiling panels?

 

 

Ceilume Logo

Mineral fiber ceiling panels can begin falling apart while still in their cartons. Breakage, dirty panels, and punch lists cut profits. And they “ugly out” before they wear out. Installers instinctively know this based on years of experience, but how can you convince skeptical architects and facility managers to break product selection habits.

 

Reliable data on ceiling durability and performance has been difficult to find, so you will want to read the articles, such as those found in Walls & Ceilings, that report on recent third-party laboratory tests of and varying ceiling systems. Learn which types of ceiling products will resist breakage, simplify clean-up, and avoid punch list items that cut profits.

Do you want to test your ceiling panel knowledge? Take this 5 question quiz put together by Ceilume to see if you are a superstar or need to go back to the classroom.

 

How much do you know about ceiling panels?

1. What is the main component of thermoformed ceiling panels?
1. Polyester.
2. Silica.
3. Vinyl.
4. Sodium chloride.
Ceilume ceiling panels and tiles are thermoformed from high-quality, rigid vinyl, a material that does not release particles and is safe enough to use in food and medical products..
2. What tool(s) are recommended for cutting thermoformed ceiling panels from Ceilume?
1. Power saw with vacuum and air filters.
2. Aviation snips or scissors.
3. Aviation snips and guillotine cutter.
4. Hot wire cutter.
Ceilume panels are made of thin thermoplastic that can be cut with ordinary aviation snips or scissors. In addition, they are lightweight, flexible, and strong, making them the easiest and fastest ceiling panels to install..
3. Which is a characteristic of thermoformed panels?
1. Stain resistance.
2. Heavy and difficult to install.
3. Sharp edges that are likely to cause cuts.
4. Long lead times.
Ceilume panels are highly stain resistant and easy to wash. They are also lightweight, easy to install, and free of sharp edges. We ship most orders within 48 hours and shipping is economical because panels are lightweight and nest compactly.
4. Ceilume thermoformed ceiling panels can be used in all these locations except:
1. Beneath fire sprinklers (drop-out ceilings).
2. Under light fixtures (luminous ceilings).
3. Above food preparation areas (culinary ceilings).
4. As part of a fire resistance-rated system (floor-ceiling assembly).
Ceilume panels are versatile performers and can be used in almost any suspended or direct-adhered ceiling, including drop-out, luminous, and culinary applications. They cannot be used, however, as part of a fire-resistant floor-ceiling assembly..
5. Ceilume ceiling panels reduce construction time and cost because they:
1. Are lightweight and nest compactly for easier delivery, storage, and handling.
2. Require no conditioning and can even be installed before the building is fully enclosed.
3. Simplify coordination with fire sprinkler installation.
4. All the above.
Ceilume panels also save time because they are easy to cut, reduce breakage, and are easy to clean if they get dirty due to other trades working above the ceiling..
