ROI
(return on investment) | | |
Return on Investment (ROI) is important to every business, especially in today’s lean economy.
Some businesses use the least expensive products and aren’t concerned about ROI. But they actually end up spending much more over time than those that choose to invest wisely the first time.
Take ceiling tiles for example — about 98 percent of the tiles in use are made of wood or mineral fiber; basically paper products. All it takes to damage them is moisture or humidity. Any small amount, even air-conditioning condensation, can start harmful mold growth and in time cause these tiles to stain and sag.
The only solution with these damaged tiles is to replace them. The average facility completely replaces mineral board tiles about every five years due to water damage and staining. The investment on ceiling tiles therefore becomes ongoing.
You are likely looking for other options other than to keep replacing tiles over and over again. Genesis maintenance-free ceiling tiles are the solution. Not only will you never have to replace the tiles again due to water and humidity, but you will realize a significant ROI.
The savings (green) accumulate drastically over a 20-year time frame.
Consider that the cost on this page does not take into account for labor, down time for r&r tiles alone. When you add in down time, labor, grid, as well as tiles and the cost goes up each year. Within a few years Genesis pays for itself, Genesis Saves you Money.
Costs go up year after year with Mineral Board.
Invest in the future with Genesis Ceiling Tiles
You can pay for a quality solution now and realize an ongoing return on your investment, or you can continue paying for ceiling tiles year after year.

Mold
SBS (Sick Building Syndrome) caused by mold costs companies every year due to customers who do not return and employees out sick.
In the 1950's it was lead in paint, in 1970's it was asbestos in ceilings, now it is mold in our homes, buildings, schools, etc..
Stories come out all the time of
schools, public buildings and even homes with mold growth
problems. Mold is a contributor to Sick Building Syndrome and
poor Indoor Air Quality.
Most Fiber Ceiling Panels can grow mold, Genesis Ceiling™ offers a product that cannot grow mold in them.
 Up to 40% of the public now are bothered by mold, think about what this means, if you have mold growing in your ceiling tiles it could be costing you up to 40% of those who frequent your business. Can you afford losing 40%, cleaning or painting ceilings will not resolve the issue, the only thing that will is to replace the tiles. And they are not recyclable as some want you to believe, once a tile starts growing mold it should not be recycled. Since most are replaced due to an issue with moisture this means most can be growing mold and add to our land fills.
Mildew
 Mildew can warn due to the odor of issues much worse such as mold, Genesis Ceiling™ offers a product that cannot grow mold in them or mildew.
Mildew refers to certain kinds of mold or fungus. In Old English, it meant honeydew (a substance secreted by aphids on leaves, formerly thought to distill from the air like dew),
and later came to mean mildew in the modern senses.
The term mildew is often used generically to refer to mold growth. Molds can thrive on any organic matter, including clothing, leather, paper, and the ceilings, walls and floors.

BACTERIA
Fiber Ceiling panel that is used in drop ceilings can and do harbor bacteria. Once they are wet, water damage from leaking pipes, roof leaks, condensation from pipes or a/c or trying to clean with soap and water can start the mold growth and add to te bacteria growth.
Strep throat, cholera, pneumonia, whooping cough, these diseases, and more, are often the only things bacteria get credit for doing. They reproduce at an extremely fast rate, and not all bacteria are bad, but those growing in your ceiling can be some of the worse.

Cleaning Ceilings
Accoustical tiles are almost impossible to clean, they are easy to damage, they harbor bacteria, and when wet sag and grow mold. Genesis Ceiling™ is extremely easy to clean. Just spray on soap and water and wipe clean or power wash.
We also have a ceiling Vent Deflector, that will prevent moisture and dirt from blowing on your ceiling from your ceiling vents.

Water Spots
Water stained or spotted ceilings are a major eye sore as well as a huge health hazard. Once they are wet and the moisture has gone through the tile with water spots showing then most likely it is growing mold, mildew and in time will start to sag and can fall out. If the health department checks above the ceiling and finds mold they might either give you warning, fine you, or close you down. Your only recourse is to replace the tiles.
Most Fiber Ceiling Tiles will water spot when wet, Genesis Ceiling™ Tiles will never water spot. What do you customers think when they look up and see water spots? How much does it cost you in time locating, matching and installing, money in purchasing, down time to do so or labor to others to do it for you.
Sagging Tiles
Ceiling tiles sag due to one of three reasons. Either they are not rigid or thick enough, to much weight is put on them, or due to humidity or moisture.
Some have to be glued to something else to avoid saging, not ours, ours compared to these are much thicker and more rigid. Any tile will sag due to weight.
Most fiber tile sag due to humidity or moisture, Genesis Ceiling™ tiles will never sag due to humidity or moisture.
Damaged Ceilings
Most fiber boards (tile) are easily damaged when anyone works above them such as plumbers, electricians and AC techs. Most accoustical tile are easily damaged just being installed. our ceilings are impact damage resistant. It is hard for anyone to damage our ceilings.
Rusting Grid
Rusting Ceiling Grid is an eye sore, as well as a health issue. In some cases such as Commercail Kitchens in most areas the health department will not allow painting.
Pipe leaks, AC condensation, roof leaks can cause your grid to rust, our grid is vinyl so it can never rust or chip. We also have grid covers that can be used to restore rusting grid like new.
Rusting Vent
Ceiling ac (diffusers) vents made of metal rust easily from the AC condensation blowing through them. They chip, painting is a hassle (sanding, cleaning and painting) can be avoided by use of ABS plastic vents. Our vents never have to be painted, are rust and chip proof, UL94 and come in white or black.
