Is new always better? If you are referring to toothbrushes and underwear, the answer is yes! But when it comes to dealing with aged/discolored acoustical ceilings, the answer may surprise you.

As compared to new tiles, and assuming the right product is used, a restored acoustical ceiling has:

 

- Improved acoustics

 

- Better light and color retention

 

- Greater life expectancy

 

Retail store remodeling is typically completed between closing and opening time. When removing and replacing acoustical ceilings, that envelope of time is seldom adequate to do more than one section per night, until the project is completed. In contrast, ceiling restoration offers:

 

Efficiency - It is common, in fully merchandised facilities, to restore 8-12,000 square feet of ceilings in one night, during that envelope of time described above. Larger contractors have been known to complete as much as 20,000 square feet in one night.

 

Appearance - The application of an acoustical coating results in a "like-new" finish that improves light reflectance and presents the option of designer colors.

 

Economics - Even in the case of inexpensive 2'x4' fisser tiles, ceiling restoration typically runs less than one-half of the cost of tile replacement and offers the advantage of refinishing the t-bar system and air diffuser at the same time with no additional expense.

 

Environment -  By recycling the old ceiling, solid waste disposal is avoided as well as its related cost.
