Oxford Ceiling Panels

- White

The "square within a square" pattern of the Oxford projects upward 1/2" from the top of the tile. Ceilume doesn't recommend installing a mineral fiber tile on top of a full sized Oxford tile because the weight of that tile will be concentrated on the upward projecting pattern and may cause the Oxford tile to bow down slightly.

You are correct! The Oxford is an inverted Cambridge. Since the design of the Cambridge tile projects down from the ceiling, it can only be installed as a full 2x2 tile in a ceiling grid. Since most ceilings don't lay out to a perfect 2x2 grid, there are usually tiles around the perimeter of the room that must be cut. When you cut a Cambridge and try to install it in a ceiling grid, that downward facing design prevents the tile from sitting flush in the grid. Flipping the Cambridge over allows the tile to sit flush in the grid while continuing the "square within a square' pattern and there are no issues with installing a Cambridge in this fashion. Flipping a cut Cambridge tile over works for our standard colors (white, sand, merlot, latte, and black) because those colored tiles are a uniform color on the front and back. But the Faux Metallic and Faux Wood finishes are only finished on one side. We've developed the Oxford for use as a border tile to the Cambridge in those 2 finish groups.
