Recoating that keeps the acoustics.
Discoloured mineral-fibre acoustic tiles sprayed back to an even white — with a non-bridging coating that preserves the acoustic absorption and fire rating. Spray, not roller. Tiles stay liftable.
When the tiles can't be wet-cleaned — but painting would ruin them.
Mineral-fibre acoustic tiles are porous and fragile. The everyday answers — scrub them or roller-paint them — either damage the tile or seal the perforations and kill the acoustics. Recoating is the specialist answer.
Sprayed, not rolled — so the holes stay open.
Acoustic tiles work because thousands of tiny perforations absorb sound. A roller bridges those holes; we spray a fine, non-bridging coating that colours the tile without filling them — keeping the acoustic absorption and fire rating intact.
Assess & test
Free site walk, plus a sprayed test area so you can see the even finish on your own tiles first.
Mask & protect
Grid, walls, fittings and floor masked. Work scheduled after hours — the floor's ready for trading next morning.
Spray-coat
A fine non-bridging coat applied by spray — even colour across the whole ceiling, perforations left open.
Keep it liftable
Tiles stay individually liftable for access to services above — we don't glue or bridge the grid.
Handover
A walked, signed handover — an even, fresh ceiling with its acoustics and fire rating preserved.
An even white — with the performance kept.
The point of an acoustic ceiling is the acoustics. Recoating is the only refresh that restores the look without trading away the thing the tiles are there to do.
- Acoustic absorption & fire rating preserved — non-bridging coating
- Spray, not roller — no clogged perforations, no deadened room
- Tiles stay liftable for services access — grid untouched
Questions we're asked.
Won't coating the tiles ruin the acoustics?
That's exactly what roller-painting does — it bridges the perforations that absorb sound. We spray a fine, non-bridging coating that colours the surface without filling the holes, so the acoustic absorption is preserved. We'll prove the finish on a test area first.
Does it keep the fire rating?
Yes — the coating system is chosen to preserve the tile's fire performance, which matters for compliance in offices, hospitality and healthcare. We're happy to confirm the specifics for your tile type at assessment.
Can we still lift tiles to get to services above?
Yes. We don't glue or bridge across the grid — every tile stays individually liftable for access to cabling, ducting and plumbing above the ceiling.
Recoat or replace — how do we decide?
If the tiles are structurally sound and just discoloured, recoating restores them for a fraction of replacement and a fraction of the disruption. If tiles are crumbling or water-destroyed, we'll say so and spot-replace. The site assessment gives you a straight answer either way.
