Understanding Glue-Up Ceiling Tiles

Glue-up ceiling tiles, as the name suggests, are adhered directly to the existing ceiling surface using a suitable adhesive such as construction glue. This method eliminates the need for a grid or suspension system, resulting in a clean and streamlined installation. These tiles are typically constructed from lightweight materials such as polystyrene or mineral fiber, ensuring easy handling and installation.
