PVC, vinyl, and plastic are all basically the same thing and made the same way, by melting plastic material and forming or molding it into tiles. Gypsum ceiling tiles need to be primed and painted. Gypsum is inexpensive and provides good heat and sound insulation but is very susceptible to damage from water and will stain easily. Gypsum ceiling tiles are made from gypsum, paper, clay and resin formed into panels. Fiberglass tiles will need professional, or very careful, installation and removal to keep fibers from breaking loose. They are also durable and maintenance free. Fiberglass tiles have insulating qualities and are very effective at sound absorption, providing better acoustics than Fiberboard or Mineral Fiber. Fiberglassįiberglass ceiling tiles are made from glass fibers encased in resins and formed into panels. Most Mineral Fiber tiles on the market today are pretreated to provide moisture and mold resistance, but the coating becomes less effective over time. They are prone to water damage, staining, and can sag or become moldy in high humidity. Mineral Fiber tiles are not long lasting or durable. Mineral tiles have a smooth appearance or small holes, which increase their acoustic properties. These tiles are inexpensive but have more acoustical ability than other materials. Mineral Fiber is made from recycled materials including newspaper, perlite, fiberglass, and mineral wool combined with binding agents and formed into panels. ![]()
