There are 2 ways to avoid dumping replaced ceiling tiles in landfills

 

- Acoustical Ceiling Restoration

This alternative is similar to the one described using conventional paints. The application procedure is similar,as is the cost. The difference is that ceiling restoration is a process that is uniquely related to the products used. Contractors who offer a service called "Acoustical Ceiling Restoration" are professionals who have become proficient in utilizing the right materials to achieve the goal of a "like-new" appearance with long-term benefits

 

- Tile Manufacturer Recycling Programs

When ceiling tiles are no longer structurally sound, there is no alternative but to replace them with new materials. In such cases they may be eligible for recycling programs provided by various ceiling tile manufacturers. Please contact the tile manufacturers for more detailed information.

 

 

Acoustical Ceiling Restortation with ProCoustic Contributes to Earning LEED Green Building Credits

 

- The benefit of resurfacing existing ceilings is the recycling of materials, thereby reducing the demand for "virgin materials" and dramatically reducing solid waste disposal into landfills (MR Credit 2.1 & 2.2 - Resource Reuse Divert from Landfill & MR Credit 4.1 & 4.2 recycle/reuse)

 

- ProCoat's Acoustical Tile & Ceiling Coating, Procoustic, has an extremely low VOC level that is well within the range that satisfies Green Seal Standard GS-11 requirements (EQ Credit 4.2 - Low Emitting Materials: Paints and coatings)

 

- Decreases energy consumption since lower wattage bulbs can be used due to the greater light reflectance properties of ProCoustic (EA Credit 1 LEED CI 1.1 Optimize Energy Performance)

 

- Can increase the use of daylight EQ Credit 8.1

 

- Enhanced acoustical performance can qualify for Innovation and Design credits (An Innovation Credit for Acoustics can be applied for demonstrating that the acoustical performance improvments of a building clearly enhance the indoor enviroment in ways consistent with preservation of human health.
