Made in the U.S., the Genesis Recycled Series consists of high-performance ceiling panels that are both attractive and sustainable. Available in 2x2 and 2x4 sizes, these recycled, rigid PVC panels resist rust, corrosion, mold and mildew. The 2.3 mm panels are available in two colors. The flecked panel is made of 75% recycled material and includes a .012 virgin vinyl skin for a consistent white appearance. The black panel is made of 100% recycled material. The panels are manufactured with a slight curve so the tiles lay flat in a grid and will not sag.
Installation Guide for Genesis Recycled Ceiling Tiles
How do you install Genesis Tiles? They will quickly and easily fit into almost any ceiling grid system. Genesis Panels are lay-in ceiling panels and are available in the same sizes as fiber-based ceiling tiles, 2' x 2' and 2' x 4'.
How do I cut Genesis Tiles? The tile can be trimmed with a utility knife. You may also use a metal angle ruler, score it and snap the tile.
What happens if water condensation on pipes lands on the ceiling panels? The water evaporates and leaves no discoloration and Genesis ceiling panels do not permit the growth of mold and mildew.
How will I know if I have a major water leak? The water will drip between the grid and ceiling tile which will quickly alert you to the problem, as water will drip on the floor. The leak will need to be fixed, but the value of Genesis is that you can dry off the tile and reinstall it, undamaged.
Can I install Genesis Recycled Tiles over other panels? Yes, Genesis Recycled Tiles can be installed in front of an existing tile to reduce installation time.
Can Genesis panels be cleaned? Yes. A mild soap and water solution works well, as do most household cleaners. Just spray the cleaner onto a clean rag and wipe.
