What are BlocknZorbe Ceiling Tiles made of?

BlocknZorbe Ceiling Tiles are made of semi-rigid, porous expanded polypropylene bead foam, with no fiberglass and no fibrous material.

Can BlocknZorbe Ceiling Tiles be used in humid spaces like swimming pools?

Yes, BlocknZorbe Ceiling Tiles are water resistant and resist bacteria and fungi, so they hold up in humid spaces such as swimming pools.

How do you clean BlocknZorbe Ceiling Tiles?

Remove dust and dirt from BlocknZorbe Ceiling Tiles with a vacuum and a soft brush attachment (soft bristles at least 1" long), a soft-bristle brush, or gentle compressed air. A dry sponge or a damp white cloth also works. For heavy soiling or stains, use a mild cleaning solution as directed, testing first on a small or hidden area and letting it dry completely to check for discoloration.

How do I install BlocknZorbe Ceiling Tiles?

BlocknZorbe Ceiling Tiles lay into a suspended ceiling grid, just like any other ceiling tile installation.

Can BlocknZorbe Ceiling Tiles be cut with a tegular edge?

Yes, we can mill a tegular edge or reveal into BlocknZorbe Ceiling Tiles for larger orders, or you can add one yourself with a router. Reach out to our sales team for a custom quote.

How should I store BlocknZorbe Ceiling Tiles before installation?

Store BlocknZorbe Ceiling Tiles indoors in a clean, cool, dry place, out of direct sunlight, and handle them carefully to avoid damage.

Installation Instructions

Install the ceiling grid according to building codes and relevant standards
BlocknZorbe Soundproof Ceiling tiles should be placed in the grid so that the edges sit on the T-grid flanges, with the face of the tile sitting at or below the grid plane.
If field cuts are needed, use a table saw. Set blade to cut half the thickness of the BlocknZorbe tile. (i.e. for a 2" thick panel, cut 1" and then flip the panel over and cut 1" again to complete the cut)

Common Product Uses

Nominal sized to easily fit into a ceiling grid for a soundproof drop ceiling (full size BlocknZorbe also available)
Offices, swimming pools, skating rinks, clean rooms, testing labs, food prep, dog kennels, car washes, gun ranges, rooftop and machine enclosures, cubicles, gymnasiums, auditoriums, schools, classrooms, locker rooms, cafeterias, restaurants, manufacturing plants, and warehouses

Yes, BlocknZorbe Ceiling Tiles both block and absorb noise, and they lay into your existing drop ceiling grid. Every ceiling is different, so for help sizing a solution to your space, call us at 1-800-679-8511 to speak with one of our soundproofing experts.

Thickness	NRC Rating	STC Rating
1"	0.55	9
2"	0.70	13

BlocknZorbe Ceiling Tiles will absorb a lot of sound and reduce reverb as a replacement for standard ceiling tiles. They are rated NRC 0.55 at 1" and NRC 0.70 at 2" with an E400 mount, and work particularly well in ceiling grids with small plenums.

Yes, BlocknZorbe Ceiling Tiles are sized to lay into a standard suspended ceiling T-grid. They come in 23.75" x 23.75" (nominal 2' x 2') and 23.75" x 47.75" (nominal 2' x 4').

Both thicknesses are a big improvement over traditional ceiling tiles. If you have a small plenum above the ceiling tiles, choose the 2" tiles for the most absorption and sound blocking.

Yes, BlocknZorbe Ceiling Tiles are Class A fire rated under ASTM E84.
