TECHNICAL DATA SHEET Section 09 54 50 Thermoformed Ceiling Panels and Tiles PRODUCT FEATURES sprinkler installation, reduce visual clutter from exposed sprinklers, eliminate dust-collecting surfaces beneath ceiling, and help protect sprinkler from damage and tampering. DESCRIPTION Ceilume ceiling panels and tiles are the solution to many design challenges. They are thermoformed from thin, rigid plastic to provide durability, sustainability and excellent value. We’ve made them for decades and recently invested in new research, testing, and code approvals so you can use them confidently in architectural and commercial projects. Some authorities having jurisdiction (AHJ) may be unfamiliar with drop-out panels. Discuss use with AHJ before specifying. Ceilume’s technical staff is ready to make presentations to AHJs and to assist you in other ways. Contact Ceilume or visit our website for copies of: Drop-Out Ceiling Panels - A Discussion on Their Use with Fire Sprinklers, a white paper by Rolf Jensen & Associates, 2014 “Bench Test: A Check-in on Drop-Out Ceilings”, Walls & Ceilings, September 2014 USES • Ceiling Panels: For installation in exposed ceiling suspension systems. • Ceiling Tiles: For direct mounting to substrates. Panel and tile definitions are based on ASTM E1264. PRODUCT ATTRIBUTES AND CHARACTERISTICS • Design Options: Ceilume panels and tiles are offered in more than 40 standard styles with molded relief ranging from historic to contemporary decorative motifs. Many of the styles can be inverted to increase design options. They are available with a choice of standard colors and faux finishes plus translucent and transparent materials. Custom styles and finishes are also available, contact factory before specifying. • Water and Humidity Resistant: Ceilume panels and tiles are not damaged by exposure to water or humidity. They can be used in areas subject to moisture including shower rooms, swimming pools, and industrial facilities subject to wash down. They comply with FEMA requirements for flood prone construction. They can also be installed before humidity in building has stabilized. • Lighting Versatility: White panels and tiles have high reflectivity. Use translucent white for luminous ceilings (see photo) and transparent panels for special effects. Surface relief creates interplay of light and shadow. For uniform lighting, light sources should be at least six inches above backpanels. • Fire Safety: Ceilume panels and tiles have Class A surface burning characteristics most building occupancies. • Drop-Out Installation Beneath Fire Sprinklers: Ceilume panels are one of the few ceiling products that can be used in a “drop-out” ceiling installed beneath sprinklers. When exposed to heat from a fire, panels soften, sag, and drop out of ceiling grids to expose sprinklers. This feature can reduce the cost of Ceilume Ceiling Products
