Metal Ceiling Tiles

Metal Ceiling Tiles Overview

Whilst it may not be the first material that comes to mind when considering suspended ceiling systems, metal tiles actually provide a long list of benefits when installed. As the quickest supplier of metal ceiling tiles, we deliver durable metal ceiling systems to advance buildings across the UK.

Metal ceiling tiles are produced with two construction options: lay-in metal tiles and clip-in metal tiles. This refers to the way the tiles are installed into the gridwork, each having their own individual advantages.

Metal ceiling tiles offer an endless list of benefits that are often overlooked when constructing a suspended ceiling system. At Ceiling Tiles UK, we offer one of the widest selections of metal ceiling panels in order to meet the diverse needs of you, our customers.

From clip-in metal tiles to lay-in metal tiles, you can order all the materials you need for a modern suspended ceiling design straight from our website.

Types of Metal Ceiling Tiles

There are various types of metal ceilings to choose from, each offering its own advantages and unique properties. Along with a selection of sizes (metal ceiling tiles 600×600 and metal ceiling tiles 1200×600), the popular types we offer include:

Lay-In Metal Ceiling Tiles

Lay-in metal ceiling tiles are similar to traditional mineral fibre panels in the way that they’re installed. Perfect for the modern workplace, we offer an extensive variety of sizes, edge profiles and perforated metal ceiling tile options.

Clip-In Metal Ceiling Tiles

Clip-in metal ceiling tiles, in comparison, are installed to offer advanced security. These are instead fitted from underneath your ceiling and are clipped into the gridwork. Unlike lay-in panels, they form a near flush finish once fully installed and require a unique extractor tool to remove them.

Metal Mesh Ceiling Tiles

Our range of mesh ceiling tiles is a design-led option to transform your workplace. Using expanded mesh in each panel, they create a striking suspended ceiling layout that’s sure to leave a lasting impression. Learn more about mesh ceiling tiles here.

• Strength

  The solid structure of these tiles reduces the likelihood of any breakages or cracks. Stainless steel tiles are also highly resistant to water damage, with the ability to withstand steam and water vapour from commercial kitchens, shower rooms and more. This durability makes them an excellent long-term investment for any type of space.

• Security

  For maximum security, we recommend clip-in tiles. These panels require a specific extractor tool for removal, making it difficult for unauthorised individuals to access sensitive utilities in your ceiling void, helping to protect valuable assets and give you peace of mind.

• Modern Design

  Metal ceilings create a contemporary appearance that’s increasingly sought after in today’s work environments. The smooth panel surface is easy to wipe clean, and can even withstand certain cleaning chemicals to keep your space looking spick and span.

• Minimal Maintenance

  Stainless steel tiles won’t rust. This means that little maintenance is needed to keep them looking fresh. For this reason, they’re perfect for spaces where access to the ceiling is difficult.

• Value for Money

  Metal tiles are a worthwhile investment, offering long-lasting durability that adds significant value to your building and making them a cost-effective choice in the long run.

Metal Ceiling Tile Installation Advice

Your installation method will vary depending on the type of tile you choose. You can follow the below guidelines for help with your project.

Lay-In Tile Installation

Lay-in metal ceiling tiles can be used with 15mm or 24mm ceiling grids. With the gridwork constructed, you can simply lift individual panels through the gridwork and gently lower them into place.

Clip-In Tile Installation

Clip-in tiles are instead installed from below the grid. As the name suggests, they’re then clipped into the grid components to create a secure surface that can only be dismantled with a specific removal tool.

Whether you’re working with clip-in or lay-in metal tiles, always ensure that you use the correct materials and proper safety equipment.

Our Customers Also Asked

• How do I remove my metal ceiling tiles?
  Lay-in metal ceiling tiles are easy to remove. Simply lift them above your grid and carefully angle them as you lower them back down through the framework. Clip-in metal ceiling tiles, on the other hand, offer additional security and so require a different approach. To remove these panels, you’ll need to use a specific extractor tool that can be ordered from our website.
• Where can I buy a metal tile remover tool?
  Great news! You can order your metal ceiling tile remover tool for clip-in panels straight from our website.
• Are metal ceiling tiles environmentally friendly?
  Metal ceiling tiles are widely regarded as environmentally friendly. Steel, a material commonly used in metal tiles, is extensively recycled. In addition to this, the lifespan of this type of drop ceiling tile reduces the need for replacements, resulting in significant savings of energy, water and materials during manufacturing.
