![]() PATENTS AND COPYRIGHTS
Each ABOVE VIEW ceiling tile is an exquisitely executed, copyrighted design. All tiles are manufactured using a patented composition and a proprietary manufacturing process that consistently provides a unique, high-quality product. A great deal of attention is given to the manufacturing of our tiles in order to maintain definition of details and integrity of surfaces.
FIRE CODES
ABOVE VIEW tiles are composed of gypsum cement, glass fibers, and other non-combustible aggregates. These tiles will not sustain combustion or release toxic fumes. The results of the ASTM E. 84 tunnel combustibility test performed on this product are as follows: Class A fire rating, with zero smoke spread, zero flame spread, and zero fuel contribution.
TILE SPECIFICATIONS
ABOVE VIEW tiles are C. 2'' x 2'', a nominal half-inch thick, and consistently weigh only 2 to 2.25 pounds per square foot. The tiles satisfy ASTM Spec. C-635 for L/360, based on hanger wire @ 4'' O.C. The relief on the tiles varies from 1/4" to 3", according to the design.
Due to the use of bulk enhancers, this patented composition offers these additional features:
No extra stress on the structure from excess weight;
Stability in construction (no thin, weak spots);
Remains true in size and plane (no warpage);
Less brittleness;
No rattling in the grid;
No need for hold-down clips;
Cuts as easily as dry wall for down lights, sprinklers, and vents.
