Product Overview

Sahara Recycled Ceiling Tiles have a subtle diamond pattern that pairs well with more elaborate designs... and now they're 100% recycled!

Sahara Ceiling Tiles have a subtle diamond pattern that pairs well with more elaborate designs making them the perfect border tile for many installations. Made from our Signature Series 0.030 in. thick vinyl plastic, they are thermoformed from molds based on original, hand-crafted metal ceiling tile designs and will add a decorative focal point sure to get people talking.

All of our Signature Series tiles are Class A fire rated, 100% recyclable, completely waterproof, Greenguard Gold Certified for indoor air quality, and made in the USA. For the look of plaster or tin, with the flexibility, durability, and versatility of vinyl - look no further!

In addition to providing the ultimate in sustainability, our new random gray material has all of the features of our other colors and at a reduced cost! It also gives you a unique design opportunity - because this material is made from 100% post-manufacturing scrap, the color (while always some shade of gray) is truly random as it is determined by the material that is recycled. The color tends to be a light "charcoal", but it can shift from dark to light, from batch to batch, and even within a single order, ensuring your ceiling will be unlike any other.

  • Installation Type: Glue-up (requires strips), standard 15/16-1 in. grid, slimline 9/16 in. grid, or refacing
  • Suitable for Borders: Yes, this style may be trimmed for use along borders
  • Dimensions: 2 ft. x 2 ft. (nominal)

Please note: When using this style in suspended ceiling installations, some minor sagging may occur when used in full-size grid squares. Please contact us if you have any questions or concerns about this style.

Planning on using crown moulding.....Should I install that before or after I install a glue up ceiling?

Asked by: Dan
It can be done either way. If your crown molding has a recess made to accomodate the edge of the tile, then you may find it easier to install the crown molding first and then cut the tiles to fit perfectly into that recess. If your molding has a flat top, you may find it easier to install the tiles first and then install the crown molding tight to the installed tiles. Regardless of when you plan to install the crown molding, you should dry fit the molding to the ceiling and make sure that you're happy with the way the Sahara (or any ceiling tile) style will fit into the crown molding. Please give Ceilume a call at 800-557-0654 if you have any other questions or concerns. We're here Monday - Friday from 7:00 am - 4:30 pm PST.

Can these be painted?

Asked by: Elizabeth4300
All of our ceiling tiles (and decorative strips) can be painted right out of the box or after you install them. A couple of notes: 1) Painting voids all fire ratings and approvals. 2) Always paint-match the actual products that you are planning on installing. 3) Do not use solvent-type thinners and cleaners. 4) Use a paint that is approved for use with Vinyl. If you have any other questions, please give us a call at 800-557-0654. We're here Monday - Friday from 7:00 am - 4:30 pm PST.

What is a direct mount grid installation?

Asked by: CRC
Most suspended ceiling grids are hung from wires that are attached to a ceiling or framing above. Direct mount grids are fastened directly to the floor joists of the floor above your space. In a basement installation, this can help to increase the ceiling height. Direct mount grids typically require a lower profile ceiling tile for an easier installation. The Sahara tile is one of many Ceilume ceiling tiles that works well in a direct mount grid. Give Ceilume a call at 800-557-0654 with any other ceiling grid questions or to request a free full-sized sample.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from It is a textured finish, but looks great once installed. We used is as a border for the Oxford ceiling tile installation so we would have clean corners. It is an excellent looking drop ceiling. The product arrived on time and was delivered on the door step.
