Product Overview

An amazing NRC of 85% paired with Ceilume's good looks means that no other acoustical ceiling panels come close to the price, performance, and value of NRC85+.

The Stratford NRC.85+™ Acoustical Ceiling Tile System is the envy of other specialty acoustic ceilings, and we're not just making noise. An amazing NRC value of 85% coupled with Ceilume's good looks means that no other acoustical ceiling panels come close to the price, performance, value, and esthetic combination that NRC.85+™ delivers.

Still not convinced? Read on!

  • NRC Rating of 85%
    An NRC of 85% means that 85% of the sound that hits the ceiling is absorbed and will not bounce back. Interior spaces like home theaters, restaurants, and even medical/therapeutic offices (where privacy is important) would benefit greatly from a high NRC. You can hear the quiet already!
  • Low Price-Point
    At $6.49 per square foot (delivered!), no other sound-dampening system with comparable performance and appearance is even within earshot of NRC.85+™. Better yet, the price of NRC.85+™ goes down as order volume goes up.
  • Design Options
    This classic design comes in five premiere colors, three better than tin finishes, and three faux wood grains. A beautiful ceiling that actually enhances your room's appearance while improving its sound, imagine that!
  • Flexibility
    Shipped as a set - perforated tiles in one box (beauty) and sound absorbing insulation in the other (the beast) - the Stratford NRC.85+™ 24" x 24" acoustical ceiling tile system is perfect for 1" standard T-bar grid systems and will not stain, absorb moisture, harbor mold or mildew, or create dust. Because it's two separate components (rather than a composite of dissimilar materials that are glued together) each piece can be removed separately, cleaned separately, and even recycled separately. No other acoustical ceiling system gives you that flexibility.
  • Dual Functionality
    Lightweight, flexible, simple to install, easy to trim with household scissors (or aviation snips), and Class A fire rated, the Stratford NRC.85+™ Acoustical Ceiling Panel System gives you one more benefit that won't just save your ears, it will save on your utility bills. By adding an R-Value of 6 to your drop ceiling, NRC.85+™ will make your space warmer in the winter, cooler in the summer, and quieter all year long.

Are color matched grid systems or finish paint available to ensure grid-work blends perfectly with designer color tiles? I’m an interior designer working on a commercial restaurant and bar project and think the visibility of the grid would ruin the effect

Asked by: evie
The safest way to color match the ceiling grid to the tile is to take a tile sample to your local paint store where they can do a computer color match. Please give Ceilume a call at 800-557-0654 to request a free full-sized sample or vinyl color swatch for paint matching purposes. We're here Monday - Friday from 7:00 am - 4:30 pm PST.

Is the insulation attached or bonded to the ceiling tile itself or does the insulation need to be placed on top of each individual tile?

Asked by: BasementProject
The Stratford NRC.85+ is made up of two separate pieces, the Perforated Stratford tile and the Soniguard backer. The Soniguard simply lies on the back of the Perforated Stratford, and is not attached. If you have any other questions, please give Ceilume a call at 800-557-0654, Mon - Fri, 8am to 4:30pm Pacific.

Can the tiles be applied directly to a ceiling with adhesive? And, can you tell me the weight of each 2'x2' peice?

Asked by: SoundHaven
Ceilume's Stratford NRC 85+ ceiling tiles can only be installed in a 1" or 15/16" ceiling grid. They can not be glued directly to a ceiling. Each Stratford NRC 85+ tile (1 Perforated Stratford + 1 piece of Soniguard Drop Ceiling Insulation) weighs 19.2 ounces.

I have a 2x4 grid does the 85+ come in that size

Asked by: itsatoonthing
The Stratford NRC .85+ is only available in the 2x2 size. Most ceiling grids can be converted from a 2x4 layout to a 2x2 layout by adding 2' T's to the mains. Just make sure that the slot size of your existing grid is compatible with the new 2' T's.

How is PVC perforated? Won't perforated PVC sag when installed?

Asked by: George
All Ceilume tiles are made from a rigid pvc using a Thermoforming process that combines heat and vacuum. As you can imagine, poking thousands of holes in a material would make it difficult to create a vacuum seal! We form the tiles first and then create the holes. The ceiling tiles get their rigidity from their geometric pattern. That rigidity remains, even when the tile is perforated.

Does this product come with SoniGuard?

Asked by: Paul
Yes, each Stratford NRC 85+ is a combo of a 2x2 perforated Stratford tile and a 2x2 piece of Soniguard Drop Ceiling Insulation. When installed together, the panel provides an NRC of .85

Rated 2 out of 5 by from great customer service/ product is marginal the noise coefficient of 85 was a premium upgrade. While the product looks great, it doesn’t deliver the performance one would expect. The customer service was exceptional. However the product doesn’t live up to the billing. Had I to do it over again, I would have passed and would have chosen another option.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from I enjoyed working with the tile I installed. It went in very fast and easy. I also liked how clean it was. My previous ceiling tile experiences have been very messy, I usually get crud in my eyes as well. I will definitely consider Ceilume in the future, before the competition.
