Q. What cost benefit is there to using your tile over others?
A. Depending on the tile you were going to use in some cases ours will be cheaper but no matter what tile you use ours will be much cheaper in the long run since you will not have to replace them due to A/C condensation, A/C leaks, Roof Leaks, Mold, Mildew, Bacteria, Bowing (due to humidity), and are much easier to clean.
Q. How hard are your tiles to install?
A. They are extremely easy to install. They will fit into any standard 2 by 2 or 2 by 4 grid layout (drop ceiling). Other than where you might have to cut to fit as you would with any tile, ours only require a utility knife to score the tile and then break away unwanted area(s).
Q. Will we need to use some form of clip to hold your tiles in place?
A. For the most part no, less than you would for any acoustical tiles. We installed the tiles on a porch to see how they would do in weather, such as wind, rain, etc. And to date with some wind gusts they have not moved at all and look as good as they did when we installed them.
Q. Are your tiles recommended for outside use?
A. No, but that does not mean you cannot use them outside. It is just we have not had enough time to evaluate them on the long term for outside use.
