Mineral Fiber Ceiling Board — Applications & Installation

Mineral Fiber Ceiling Board has become a preferred choice in modern construction thanks to its outstanding performance in acoustic control, fire resistance, and easy installation. This article highlights its common applications and provides a quick installation guide for contractors and designers.

Typical Applications

Mineral fiber ceiling boards are widely used in:

Offices: open-plan workspaces, meeting rooms, and receptions where noise reduction improves productivity.

Healthcare facilities: hospitals, clinics, and examination rooms that demand hygienic, non-combustible ceilings.

Educational buildings: classrooms, lecture halls, and libraries that require clear sound and less reverberation.

Public buildings: airports, stations, shopping malls, and auditoriums where durability and appearance matter.

Commercial renovations: retrofit projects where lightweight boards allow fast installation.

Key Features & Benefits

Acoustic Performance — High sound absorption reduces noise levels.

Fire Resistance — Non-combustible material supports building safety.

Thermal & Moisture Control — Stable performance for indoor environments.

Easy Installation — Works with standard T grid suspension or direct-fix systems.

Quick Installation Guide

1. Site Preparation — Check ceiling structure and ensure surfaces are level.

2. Measure & Plan — Plan panel layout to minimize cuts and align with lighting fixtures.

3. Cut Panels — Score and snap boards or use a fine saw for clean edges.

4. Install Suspension — Set up runners and cross tees for the desired module (600×600 mm or 600×1200 mm).

5. Place Panels — Fit panels into the grid or use adhesive for direct-fix systems.

6. Finishing — Install trims, cutouts, and seal perimeters if needed.

7. Inspection — Ensure level installat
