Demountable Ceiling Tile Stack

Demountable ceiling tiles are plaster panels attached to lightweight metal frames, which clip into place on a lightweight metal ceiling grid. They are commonly used to lower ceilings in offices, schools, health centres and commercial or small business properties such as supermarkets, shops and cafes to provide the allusion of a consistent, solid ceiling, while providing room above for service ducts and cable routings. The are also easy to cut out holes for, or replace the full panel with, lights, alarms, sensors and speakers. They have become exceedingly popular since their invention as a standardised, modular component of design, for the ease of production, replication and the ability for one person to quickly and easily install during construction, or remove to provide service access for engineers and electricians. This particular demountable ceiling tile presents with a white, lightly stuccoed or textured appearance which help it blend in with, or recreate, the effect of historic plaster ceilings at a fraction of the time and cost. Small perforations are present, likely to help provide a level of sound absorption between floors.
