1. Strength
Metal ceiling tiles stand tall against their mineral fibre alternatives, boasting superior resilience against breaks and cracks. Metals are an incredibly strong materials that means, even in spaces where ceiling access is limited, they ensure effortless maintenance without the worry of snapping during installation or upkeep.
2. Resilience
Whilst mineral fibre tiles can be susceptible to water damage from leaks or moisture in the atmosphere, metal tiles are likely to last longer. This will spare you the expense and hassle of frequent replacements or repairs. In fact, when you invest in high quality stainless steel metal tiles, youre promised longevity. Rest assured that these tiles wont rust, and could last you centuries!
In addition, mineral fibre tiles exposed to these conditions may warp overtime as a result of moisture changes. Even if they survive a water leak, they may leave behind unsightly staining all of which can be avoided with a simple switch to metal ceiling tiles.
3. Bug Resilience
As well as their resilience to damage during installation and maintenance, metal ceilings are also resilient when it comes to bugs. Metal tiles are much easier to clean than alternatives and, although most mineral fibre tiles have protective coatings, this could be compromised if there was a water leak. Also resistant to the build up of mould and mildew, they offer a hygienic solution for environments prone to high humidity.
4. Fire Safety
Fire safety is incredibly important in most applications, especially for buildings that are open to the public such as transport hubs and showrooms. Its therefore vital that you consider the fire rating of your ceiling. We always recommend consulting with a professional to ensure you provide the needed protection for your space, however, metal ceiling tiles are generally more resistant to fire.
5. Appearance
