Ceiling tiles in older Australian homes manufactured before the 1980s may contain asbestos. However, all asbestos use has been banned nationally since 2003. All ceiling tiles and construction materials stocked at Westgyp are 100% asbestos-free, safe, and non-toxic.
Standard ceiling tiles can contribute to better acoustics and soundproofing within a room. We recommend opting for acoustic ceiling tiles like the Rock SG Lunar Ceiling tiles. Specifically designed for an entry-level for sound blocking, these acoustic ceiling tiles can lessen noise from leaking in and out of a room.
Depending on the material they are made from, ceiling tiles can be flammable. However, we offer fire-rated ceiling tiles that are non-combustible with high fire resistance, making them excellent choices for bushfire-prone areas like WA. If BAL-rated ceiling tiles are a requirement, Westgyp’s range of Stonewall Platinum MEDIGRID tiles is worth considering.
There are medical-grade ceiling tiles available if you’re constructing healthcare facilities. At Westgyp, we stock Aspect Vivid MEDIGRID, an ultracare health panel system from Stonewall Platinum. MEDIGRID holds the highest global accreditation for health and environmental standards and has been used in the construction of some medical centres in WA.
With proper maintenance and upkeep, ceiling tiles can last between 10 to 20 years. The material used, installation, and environment will also play a role in the longevity of your ceiling tiles.
To calculate the number of ceiling tiles you need for your construction, you would first need to measure the length and width of your ceiling. Multiply the length by the width to get the ceiling area, which you can then use to calculate the number of ceiling tiles. Ceiling tiles come in different sizes, so feel free to contact our knowledgeable staff to determine how many ceiling tiles will be used for your project.
Ceiling tiles made by different brands from varying materials can have differing price points. We at Westgyp offer cost-effective and high-quality ceiling tiles that can cater to any of your construction needs.
