Soniguard 24 in. x 24 in. Drop Ceiling Acoustic/Thermal Insulation (Case of 24)

A:  Ceilume's Soniguard Drop Ceiling Insulation was created to be used with Ceilume's ceiling tiles. Soniguard insulation is made from thermally bonded polyester fibers that are easily supported by the Stratford 2x4 ceiling tiles with no sagging. And Soniguard won't shed fibers like some other insulations so it won't make you itch during installation or contribute to poor air quality in your space.

A:  Ceilume's Soniguard Drop Ceiling Insulation is intended to be placed on top of ceiling tiles that are installed in a suspended ceiling grid. They add extra acoustic and thermal insulation to the existing ceiling tiles. Because they are not rigid, they can't be installed for use as a ceiling tile by themselves. Please give Ceilume a call at 800-557-0654 if you have any other questions.

A:  For a restaurant a drop ceiling is any type of metal grid system with panels you insert. The soniguard panels would be placed above for soundproofing floor above. Wouldn’t recommend soniguard as panels for the actual grid.

A:  Yes, you can glue the panels.

A:  Ceilume's Soniguard Drop Ceiling Insulation is a non-woven polysesther material that is not suitable for glue up installation and can't be used as a stand-alone tile. It's made to sit on top of a lay-in ceiling tile to increase the acoustic and thermal insulation.

A:  Yes it can be glued to ceiling using a high tack caulk that comes in a tube. The adhesive will instantly stick. About 8 to 9 dollars…Mike the contractor

A:  They will be too thick. You will need at least 2 inches to squeeze them in. Hope this helps.

A:  Hi Derek, the tiles will work.

A:  Assuming your grid system has at least an inch clearance, these are easy to install.

A:  Ceilume does not recommend using Soniguard with a surface mount grid system. Typically the surface mounted grid doesn't provide the required clearance (typically about 2") for the Ceilume ceiling tile and Soniguard Drop Ceiling Insulation to fit.
