Ceilume Ceiling Tile; 2x2 Ceiling Tiles - Stratford Ultra-Thin Feather-Light - Use in 1" T-Bar Suspended Ceiling Grid - Drop Ceiling Tiles (White)

I was a little nervous when the box came because they are very thin and flimsy and thought no way are these going to work. BUT installed you can not tell! I think they look great and the price is a bonus. You can really bend and mangle them a bit and they bounce back to their original shape and I used kids scissors to cut them. Highly impressed.

I was worried after reading the reviews but I didn’t have any problems. Since these are so lightweight I just put them WITH my old ceiling tiles. The weight of the old tiles keeps these from jumping or shifting when the door slams. All mine came in perfect condition. To cut them I used a very sharp box cutter and didn’t have any problems. We have a ceiling air vent in one of our tiles. These are not sturdy enough for that so, again, I just left the old sturdy tile and put a new one with a cutout for the vent. I do think they are overpriced but there isn’t really any other choice on the market that I found.

The product looks great, brightens up the room, and the install is very easy (I replaced my tiles, did not install brand new grid). However, this stuff is not cheap. It approximately $1.50 per sf. A 500 sf basement is going to cost you $750.00 and that is without buying anything to cover the existing grid. Bottom line - 5 stars on the look, but this product should sell for no more than $1.00 per sf (imo).

The tiles were exactly as described and boxed adequately to prevent damage. This was also the best price I found on the internet for the number of tiles I needed. While the tiles are easy to cut, they weren’t as easy to install as I had hoped. The tiles are so thin that they will bend if you try to force them into a tight spot. That said, they’re no more frustrating than the old tiles. Just be prepared to spend time on your project. The end result will be worth it!
