Product Overview

Manchester is designed for glue-up applications. Their overlapping edges make them simple to align and require no strips to cover the seams between tiles.

Manchester Ceiling Tiles combine classic styling with ingenious American engineering. Made from our Signature Series 0.030 in. thick vinyl plastic and designed exclusively for glue-up applications (ceilings and walls), Manchester's unique overlapping edge features make them simple to align and require no extra parts (strips or tape) to cover the seams.

All of our Signature Series tiles are Class A fire rated, 100% recyclable, completely waterproof, Greenguard Gold Certified for indoor air quality, and made in the USA. For the look of plaster or tin, with the flexibility, durability, and versatility of vinyl - look no further!

  • Installation Type: Glue-up (does not require strips)
  • Dimensions: 23.875 in. x 23.875 in.
  • Practical Coverage Area: 3.47 sq. ft.
  • Features: Project 0.14 in. from tile face
  • Material: Durable, 0.030 in. thick, rigid vinyl plastic
  • Warning: Do not install where temperature exceeds 140°F and keep heat sources 6 in. from tile surface.

Please note that while the actual area of this tile is 3.96 sq. ft., the "practical coverage area" is 3.47 sq. ft. due to the way its edges overlap during installation.

Can Manchester be used with traditional drop in ceiling grids?

Asked by: Fred132
The Manchester glue-up tiles (as well as the Lafayette and Nantucket glue-up tiles) have a repeating pattern around the perimeter of the tile that is meant to overlap the adjacent tiles. This pattern allows for a glue-up installation without the need for Decorative Strips to cover the joints where the tiles meet. That perimeter pattern prevents the tile from sitting flush in a suspended ceiling grid. If you like the "Square within a Square" pattern of the Manchester, take a look at Ceilume's Cambridge, Oxford, and Stratford ceiling tiles. Those tiles share the same pattern but can be installed in a suspended ceiling grid. If you'd like to see a free full-sized sample, please give Ceilume a call at 800-557-0654.

Can I glue over popcorn ceilings?

Asked by: judi
Ceilume does not recommend glueing any of their Ceiling tiles to a popcorn finish. The uneven nature of the popcorn finish creates bumps and wavy joint lines which makes the ceiing look unattractive. The best practices for a clean, attractive ceiling starts with removing the popcorn finish.

How much glue would I need

Asked by: Angel
You should be able to install about 6 ceiling tiles with one 9 oz tube of adhesive provided you cut the tip of the adhesive tube to create a 1/8" bead of adhesive. Please consult the Lap Joint Ceiling Tile installation instructions for additional information regarding the application of the adhesive and installation of the tiles.

 Can these tiles be put over the kind of ceiling tiles that were used back in the 80s? 

Asked by: BJHenry
The Manchester ceiling tile is a Lap-Joint glue-up tile that is intended to be glued directly to a drywall, plaster, or plywood substrate. It is not intended for installation in a ceiling grid or in to be glued to a ceiling tile. Ceilume does offer 15 different ceiling tiles that can be installed beneath an existing mineral fiber tile in a suspended ceiling grid.

What is it made of? I am looking for metal ones

Asked by: Patity

Are they paintable?

Asked by: Creep
All of our ceiling tiles can be painted right out of the box or after you install them. A couple of notes: - Painting voids all fire ratings and approvals. - Always paint-match the actual products that you are planning on installing. - Do not use solvent-type thinners and cleaners. Please call Ceilume at 800-557-0654 with any questions.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great Headboard As soon as I received these ceiling tiles we instantly knew we wanted to make them headboards for out beds. First we painted them our room colors then we turned them into headboards. One of my friends thought we bought the bed like that. The adhesive was very easy to use and was not messy at all. It was overall a very easy install and looks so good.
