ceiling tile

Suspended acoustic square

Ceiling tiles are lightweight panels that fit into a suspended grid framework to form a drop ceiling.

They typically absorb sound and conceal ductwork, pipes, and wiring above.

Standard tiles are square and removable for access to the space above: One of the ceiling tiles was water-stained.

Common in offices, schools, and commercial buildings.
