Very happy with the purchase and results
Ceiling Tiles look great, easy to install, easy to cut, I only wish Home Depot would sell individual pieces, I needed 3 extra so unfortunately I had to buy them through a competitor. Would have been so much more convenient to purchase in one place.

Tiles do not sit flat
The tiles do not sit flat and the room has quite an echo since installed. Home depot does not sell clips and we were not able to find the clips anywhere in town. Would not purchase these tiles again. May replace with something heavier. They are easy to clean and easy to install

Thank you for taking time to review our Smooth Pro White Ceiling tiles. our Genesis ceiling tile appears to sit higher on the ceiling grid corners, it is likely because of the type of ceiling grid you are using. There are two main types of ceiling grid systems: a stab system, and a hook system. A stab grid system provides additional stability as the cross-tee overlaps the main beam to prevent twisting. This feature often qualifies stab systems for a Seismic Rating. A hook grid system is often a lighter-duty grid. All stab grid systems, like Classic X Cliq and USG Donn DXL and Armstrong Prelude XL use an overlap design at the cross-tees. This causes about a 1/16-inch raising of the ceiling panel at the corners. This is the case for all ceiling panels, including Genesis, mineral board acoustic and vinyl-clad gypsum. One method to reduce the raised tile problem with stab grid systems is to use hold-down clips in the ceiling tile corners. After your tiles are installed in the grid, identify which corners need to be clipped. From the top of the grid, simply push the clip onto the spline so that it presses the corners of the tile down. Our hold down clips are available for any installation needs in one of these systems. If you have any questions please feel free to reach out to us at 800.434.3750. Thank you! Genesisceilingtiles

Overall I recommend, but had a few disappointing quality issues out of the box
I recently used these Genesis tiles (smooth white) to replace my old drop ceiling tile in my finished basement. These are boat loads easier to work with than your typical fiberglass/gypsum ceiling tiles. There is no mess and they do not crumble, as these are basically just a plastic sheet. They are much thinner than your old ceiling tiles too, and can bend a bit in one direction (although be careful, too much bending and it will snap). My biggest gripe was that these tiles come shipped with a slightly dirty film on them. It's hard to see in my photo, but you can see the streaks across the tile. These tiles are not as easy to clean as they show in their advertisement video. Sure they are waterproof and wipeable, but the amount of wiping you need to do to leave streak free (especially on these smooth white tiles) was definitely not as advertised. Also, each tile comes shipped with a sticker, and the adhesive from the sticker leaves a square blotch residue on the next tile in the pile. Therefore every tile has a sticker on one face and a residue from another sticker on the other side. That was frustrating.

Fantastic upgrade to my basement
I replaced all the office/schoolhouse looking drop ceiling tiles in basement and it made a huge difference! The basement looks cleaner and more modern. You can see in the comparison in my photo. The tiles are easy to cut and clean.

      This ceiling looks fabulous in my rental apt. It used to have the acoustic tiles that look like the lunar surface. These are so much cleaner looking, with the smooth surface you really just don't notice the ceiling much. Best of all they don't stain, so should look great for years. We kept the old grid system and just spray painted it....literally with a can of spray paint. Just make sure you paint the sides of each piece of metal or it will be apparent next to your new ceiling tile.

        Very nice tile
        Lightweight, easy to cut, and looks much better than accoustic. Here is my ceiling in progress with new grid covers going up as well. I may decide to take them down and paint them or decoupage them. Leftover tiles will be good for craft projects. Shipping was fast and the tiles were packed well.

        Easy to install. Visually acceptable but was disappointed that it was so thin. Not all the tiles lay flat on the supporting rails. I am hoping that this may change in time. They have been up about 10 days now.

        Thank you for your review of our Genesis Ceiling Tiles. As stated on our product page on HomeDepot.com, our tiles are just under .2" in thickness for ease of installation as they are made of PVC. As stated in our installation guide, there are some grids that use a “stab and
        connect” system that may cause the corners of the tile to sit higher than the rest of the tile. If you have any additional questions please feel free to reach out to us at 800.434.3750. Thank you! Genesisceilingtiles

        Good product but some boxes were damaged in shipping. I used those for partial areas so all worked out.

        Very Good Product. Easy to Install
        I wanted to replace the old ceiling tiles in my sister's and my bedroom ceiling. I selected the Genesis PVC because they are washable, mold and mildew resistant. The 23 X 43 tiles arrived today so I got right to work replacing the tiles in my bedroom ceiling. I am a 69 year old woman and I was able to replace the tiles in a tight space with just a little effort. They look great and I look forward to getting the 23 X 23 tiles so I do my sister's bedroom ceiling.

          The tile is beautifully smooth however the corners do not lay flat. The tile has a slight bend in it so it leaves a gap at the seams of the ceiling rails. It honestly looked horrible after my contractor installed it. The ceiling has dark gaps where the tiles aren’t flush with the ceiling rails and it makes the whole room look cheap and unfinished.
