Ceilume Ceiling Tile; 2x2 Ceiling Tiles - Stratford Ultra-Thin Feather-Light - Use in 1" T-Bar Suspended Ceiling Grid - Drop Ceiling Tiles (White)

I was a little nervous when the box came because they are very thin and flimsy and thought no way are these going to work. BUT installed you can not tell! I think they look great and the price is a bonus. You can really bend and mangle them a bit and they bounce back to their original shape and I used kids scissors to cut them. Highly impressed.

The tiles were exactly as described and boxed adequately to prevent damage. This was also the best price I found on the internet for the number of tiles I needed. While the tiles are easy to cut, they weren’t as easy to install as I had hoped. The tiles are so thin that they will bend if you try to force them into a tight spot. That said, they’re no more frustrating than the old tiles. Just be prepared to spend time on your project. The end result will be worth it!

Ceilume tiles gave me a great result in my 20x30 ft garage, much brighter and cleaner looking than the bare rafters. But recently I replaced my commercial steel rollup door with a conventional garage door, so I need to close up roughly 20ft x 2ft of ceiling at the front of the garage where the rollup door was. I couldn't find the pattern you see in the photo; I am settling for the Stratford pattern.

The material these is made from was way too thin for my purposes. They’re about the thickness of a molded plastic water bottle, and I suspect even a led puck light would be too much for them to support. They looked nice, but not being sturdy enough to install a can light, coupled with being so light that closing the door caused them to pop out of place was a deal breaker for me. I opted for the Anderson molded ceiling tiles which were about 4-5 times as thick. My install was in a small bathroom, I suppose if you have a large area without a lot of pressure change from air movement they would be okay, just be aware you will need to reinforce any that have anything mounted to/thru them.

I was worried after reading the reviews but I didn’t have any problems. Since these are so lightweight I just put them WITH my old ceiling tiles. The weight of the old tiles keeps these from jumping or shifting when the door slams. All mine came in perfect condition. To cut them I used a very sharp box cutter and didn’t have any problems. We have a ceiling air vent in one of our tiles. These are not sturdy enough for that so, again, I just left the old sturdy tile and put a new one with a cutout for the vent. I do think they are overpriced but there isn’t really any other choice on the market that I found.
