uDecor DuraClean Smooth Black Vinyl 2x4 Ceiling Tile - Box of 10 - Washable, Fire-Rated, PVC

I just wanted to find something to mitigate light spread in my basement home theater. These were the cheapest that i could find (still too expensive for what they are though).They are matte black, they come with a plastic protective sheet on one side. I suggest leaving this on until you have all the tiles installed because they are extremely easy to mark up and are pretty annoying to clean.There were a couple that were damaged due to shipping. I have no doubt they would have replaced them if i had asked them to, but i just used those tiles for the edges of the room that needed cut to size anyway.They are thin but not so thin that they are unable to support their own weight. They strike a balance with flexibility and rigidity so they are easy to install but still rigid enough without any noticeable sag.I’d say they are some kind of plastic composite type of material. It is extremely easy to crack or chip them if you apply too much force to them. It shouldn’t be much of an issue since drop ceiling tiles have more than enough wiggle room to get into place If cut to the correct size.Note: if using in a home theater and replacing existing fiberglass drop tiles, you will probably want additional acoustic/sound absorption in your room. These are rigid and hard, sounds do echo well off of them.Even though these were the cheapest black ceiling tiles i could find and they serve their purpose well enough, i still do not understand why these are so expensive. There is nothing special about them. If you already have tiles and just want to change to black, I’d suggest just painting your existing tiles rather than buying these.

If you have a business and are thinking of buying these, DO it! These make everything so much cleaner looking. Kind of a pain because they create static when taking off plastic cover but all in all a great buy even thought the price isn’t wonderful.

Great product to elevate the look of a dated basement. Very pleased with durability and ease of cleaning.

Replaced all of the old cream drop ceiling tiles. It’s so smooth and modern with these black. They are extremely easy to install. When you see the thickness don’t steer away like I was going to. This is PVC not your original drop ceiling tiles. These are so much easier to clean and you don’t have to worry about water damage with these. I can only rate this a five star but I’d rate ten star if I could. Just ordered the last of the tiles today and can’t wait.

I ordered the uDecor black ceiling tiles to replace the white cardboard ones only as an esthetic upgrade!!! Being vinyl and waterproof had little to do with the purchase decision. Little did I know that a historical freeze was coming to Texas and the building's plumbing was severely ill-equipped to handle it. My unit had 12 major pipe bursts and was flooded out. The bathrooms were the only place with cardboard tiles and if we had the cardboard tiles throughout the business, the entire ceiling would have dropped to the floor and the clean-up would have been 10x worse, not to mention leaving me with no ceiling. Also, the cardboard ceiling fallout would have destroyed our retail and inventory. Since I had just installed the uDecor tiles, the ceiling remained intact and the retail area just needed to dry out... and most importantly, we were able to re-open for business MUCH faster.

amazing replacement for my white drink ceilings

Very difficult to remove dust and keep it clean

These are great tiles! Nice it comes in black so no need to paint them .
