Genesis 2ft x 4ft Smooth Pro White Ceiling Tiles - Easy Drop-In Installation – Waterproof, Washable and Fire-rated - High-Grade PVC to Prevent Breakage - Package of 10 Tiles

Homeowner DIY project. I had a hung ceiling in my finished basement that I installed 15 years ago. It was typical fiberboard that sagged over the years, picked up odors and stains from pipe condensation. The area is a bit less than 500 sq. ft. and I used 2x4 tiles.Compared to installing the fiberboard, these new tiles were far easier to handle and cut. They have some give to them and can be bent slightly in tight spots without breaking. At the same time, they seem sturdier than the fiberboard. I can remember the first installation being plagued with chipped corners and inadvertent breaks - not with these. I had absolutely no accidental waste (not counting bad math on a few cuts). Cutting for recessed lighting was also a snap. Any smudges from the process of handling them during installation were easily wiped off with a damp cloth.The result is a much cleaner looking and brighter area.The one small unwanted difference that I did detect is that the noise cancelling characteristics of these tiles is less than the fiberboard. I would probably not have noticed it except that my son is a musician (drummer no less) and when the band practices down there the noise level is slightly higher than it was.No Regrets.

Love these ceiling tiles. Easy to replace the old ones with these and these look so much better. These are waterproof and are easy to clean

Better than the regular tiles. These tiles are thinner than regular ceiling tiles, and weigh a little less, as far as I can tell. They are slightly flexible, which makes getting them in when there are pipes or conduit close to the grid about 10x easier than regular tiles. The 2x2 tiles don't sag. I have not used the 2x4 tiles, but I assume those would not sag either. They create no dust when you are cutting them down. Just score them with a razor blade, and break them. It's super easy.These babies are also super good at handling water. I have them in a bathroom with a shower, and I no longer worry about steam from hot showers discoloring or damaging the tiles.These tiles also don't gather dust as easily. I have the smooth ones, and the lack of any texture means they don't really pick up dust, and vacuum or wipe off easily.As for acoustic isolation... maybe 75% to 50% as effective as standard ceiling tiles? Hard to tell in my application. It still creates an air barrier though. If you want something more serious, think about actual acoustic insulation.Bottom line: I am happy with these. They are easy to clean, won't discolor, don't create dust when you work with them, and are easy to work with in general. If I ever have to buy ceiling tiles again, I am going to buy this kind.

Descent looking and shipped quickly! My 1st order was 5-10 packs and I just ordered 2 more and received them today. (decided to do additional space) I will say out of the 50 tiles I received there were 4 tiles that were damaged!2 were damaged closer to the middle of tile and the other 2 closer to the side/end of the tile. They were in the middle of the stack, so this wasn't something that happened during shipping! They actually had like an 1/8" deep gouge about a 1/2" oblong.Just thought for the price... Q.C. would be flawless.

The product was good, and cheaper thru Amazon

Great improvement over the traditional/cheap ceiling tiles. Light weight and 1/3 the thickness. Plus they are flexible so they don't crack or break when you are removing or re-installing them.

I purchased 2 cartons of Genesis - Smooth Pro 2'x2' Ceiling Tiles, 24 pieces in all. First time using this product but second time installing a grid and tile ceiling. The PVC Ceiling Tiles are 1st rate in appearance and material. One side of each tile is the "show" side. The tiles are smooth, but there appears to be a light grain direction to each tile due from manufacturing or handling during production. We choose to run all tiles in the same direction. Tiles are about 1/4" thick x 23 3/4" sq. Tiles are easy to cut, I used a table saw with a 10" diameter blade with 200 teeth (used for cutting plywood). Cuts like butter. Installed Genesis Tiles in "CeilingLink" Direct mount grid system that has only a 1" height and screwed directly to the wooden ceiling joists. I am very pleased with the overall look and quality of the new ceiling.

The media could not be loaded. We just completed building our new AquaVIVE Electrolyte Production Room and we selected this company's product. Installation went great and we are extremely happy. Thank you for quick shipping and a great product.
