School Mold Growth

Recently a school in Harrisburg, PA. had a run in with a large-scale mold problem. Apparently the parents claimed they could see visible mold growth through the building’s brightly painted ceiling tiles. Unfortunately, this is all to common.

Most schools choose acoustical fiber ceiling tiles which are susceptible to water damage, mold growth, and bacteria growth just to name a few. Once damaged visibly the school department will just paint over the ceiling tiles instead of replacing them to save money.

This is not a healthy environment for anyone especially children. PVC ceiling tiles are water proof, rust proof, sag proof, and mold proof. They will never need to be replaced. They are easy to clean and durable. Don’t ever have to replace your ceiling tiles again. Visit NewCeilingTiles.com for more information on PVC ceiling tiles.

Preventable Water Damage

On the tenth of may this year an elementary school in Cleveland, Ohio had a major pipeline break which caused extensive structural damage to the building. The principal’s office and nine other classrooms were damaged the worst by this water supply line burst. The waterline ran along the exterior ceiling of the classrooms and offices hit and caused all the ceiling tiles to waterlag, sag and ultimately collapse. The damage was extensive.

Though incidents like this do happen a large portion of the damage caused was preventable. If the school had purchased waterproof ceiling tiles and waterproof and corrosion proof grid available at our website the repairs would have been non-structural and been strictly limited to electrical and carpet damage. A huge cost of repairs could have been prevented.

Sadly flooding like this happens dozens of times each year to schools, restaurants, and stores ect. but it’s never to late to upgrade your ceiling tiles and grid to our waterproof, rust proof, bacteria proof and corrosion proof grid and ceiling tiles.

Never replace your ceiling tiles again! For more information visit NewCeilingTiles.com

Here is a simple how-to on installing ceiling grid. Our PVC grid is rust proof, water proof and easy to clean. The quicklock keyhole system makes for an easy installation much like traditional metal grid. After balencing and measuring the roof and determining the border tile sizes, snap chalk line alone the wall at the desired level of ceiling drop. Install the angled moulding along the chalk line:

Install the hanger wires every 2 feet on center where the mains will be installed and cut your first main for the border tile, measure in from the first keyhole and cut at the border dimension. Install the main along the first chalk line so that the keyhole is aligned with the intersecting border tile chalk line:

Contine to install the mains linking them by sliding the connector clip over the abutting ends of the mains, installing the subsequent mains 2 feet on center. When the mains are installed its time to snap in the cross T’s. The keyhole operation makes this process easy. With 2×2 layout the cross T’s are placed every 2 feet, and with a 2×4 tile system the cross T’s are placed every 4 feet. Just insert and push down to lock. When installing the teas make sure the bulb on the T is facing outward.For border areas just measure and cut the teas to legnth with your tin snips. With the cross T’s in place your ready to place your tiles in the grid and complete the job!

The Benefits of a Finished Basement

Finishing off a home’s basement is a great investment and can give a family some much needed space. Fineshed basements are in high demand all over the country and are not only adding extra space for you and your family, but are also adding value which can result in a 150 percent return when it comes time to sell.

A common mistake when fineshing a basement is purchasing the wrong building materials. A basement can get very damp and moist and cause water damage to materials that are not waterproof such as fiber ceiling tiles. Early signs of water damage from moisture and dampness might be unnoticable to the naked eye but are slowly rotting your ceiling tiles. This can cause mold and bacteria and be costly to replace.

A good solution is to purchase waterproof PVC ceiling tiles. Genesis Ceiling Tiles are 100 percent waterproof, bacteria proof, rust and sag proof and are will also never have to be replaced. This can insure safety to you and your family and also seccure your investment when it comes time to sell. For more information on Genesis Ceiling Tiles visit www.newceilingtiles.com

Prevent basement water damage

Let’s face it, your basement is surrounded by water. The soil around your basement is excellent at retaining water. This can start to become a major problem in rainy seasons when the soil starts retaining more and more moisture. As water continues to saturate the soil more and more the water will begin to search for areas of lesser resistance like hairline cracks in your basement.

The concrete surrounding your basement can slowly erode from water damage and start to cause leaks. Just a little drop of water here and there will quickly start to rot out fiber ceiling tiles. Your ceiling tiles may already be taking on water damage without any notice, and by the time the leak is discovered your ceiling tiles may remain damp and waterlogged creating a perfect environment for mildew, mold and dangerous bacteria.

An easy and pain-free solution to this problem is to install ceiling tiles that are waterproof and mold proof. Genesis Ceiling Tiles are PVC and are waterproof, rust proof, and mold and bacteria resistant. They are available in many decorative styles and colors. You will never have to replace your ceiling tiles again! For more information on Genesis Ceiling Tiles for your basement or home visit www.basementceilingtiles.com
