Most people walk into a room, an office, a school, a hospital and never think to ask, “Is this ceiling safe?” But what’s above your head does more than just finish the look of a space. It affects comfort, air quality, and even how a building holds up in an emergency.
Ceiling Tiles play a critical role in fire safety, indoor air cleanliness, and long-term health. The wrong material can trap moisture, release harmful chemicals, or fail when it matters most. And since ceilings usually cover a large surface area, the risks aren’t small, especially in places where people spend hours at a time or where strict safety codes apply.
That’s where Mineral Fibre Ceiling Tiles come in. These tiles aren’t just about looks or acoustics, they’re built for safety. They resist flames, help control air quality, and meet tough performance standards. They’ve been tested, certified, and chosen for spaces that can’t afford to compromise like, Offices, classrooms, hospitals, restaurants, gyms, and public halls.
Let’s break it down. Mineral Fibre Ceiling Tiles are made from a smart mix of natural and recycled materials. At Amazone by Furnitech, we’ve fine-tuned this blend to deliver high performance without compromising on safety or sustainability.
Here’s what goes into our tiles:
Stone Wool (Mineral Wool): Created by melting natural rock and spinning it into fine fibres, this material adds strength, natural fire resistance, and excellent sound-absorbing properties.
Recycled Paper & Newsprint: Instead of ending up in landfills, wastepaper is pulped and added to the mix. It helps bind the tile and makes the product eco-friendlier.
Starch: Acts as a natural binder, giving the tile its shape and structure. We avoid harsh chemicals, so there’s no risk of harmful off-gassing.
Perlite and Clay: Lightweight minerals that help control weight, improve thermal stability, and enhance acoustic performance.
Yes, they are. And not just on paper. At Amazone by Furnitech, our Mineral Fibre Ceiling Tiles are tested, certified, and built to perform in real-world fire scenarios. They offer low flame spread and minimal smoke development, making them ideal for any building where fire safety is non-negotiable, especially:
Backed by Trusted Certifications
We don’t just claim safety, we prove it. Our tiles are certified by:
SGS
A globally recognised testing and certification agency. For our Mineral Fibre Ceiling Tiles, SGS has verified fire safety, thermal performance, durability, and emissions.
ARAI (Automotive Research Association of India)
ARAI is a certified authority for building material assessments. They’ve tested our Mineral Fibre Ceiling Tiles for-flame resistance, thermal performance, NRC (Noise Reduction Coefficient), STC (Sound Transmission Class), RH (Relative Humidity), and weight.
These certifications confirm that our tiles meet both global and Indian safety benchmarks, putting us on par with top international brands like Armstrong, if not ahead.
Why It Matters
In commercial or public buildings, fire-resistant Ceiling Tiles aren’t a luxury, they’re a requirement. Using uncertified or substandard materials can compromise lives and violate building codes.
Amazone By Furnitech’s Mineral Fibre Ceiling Tiles pack a lot of performance into every panel. They come with an NRC of 0.60, which means they absorb sound effectively and help control noise levels in a space. With an STC rating of 25 dB, they also help block sound from passing between rooms. These tiles can handle tough environments too, withstanding up to 96% relative humidity without losing their shape or performance.
On the safety front, they’re rated Class A under ASTM E84, showing excellent fire resistance. They also help with temperature control thanks to a low thermal conductivity of 0.055 W/m.K, which means better insulation. Visually, the tiles bounce back light well, with a high light reflectance of 90.21%, helping brighten up interiors using natural light. And at just 3.96 kg per square metre, they’re light enough for easy installation while still being strong and durable. So, you can focus on design, not second-guess safety.
No, they don’t. Modern Mineral Fibre Ceiling Tiles are made using a process where all the fibres are tightly compressed and sealed using safe binders. Once the tile is fully formed, those fibres stay locked in place.
So, unless the tile is physically damaged or cut, there’s no loose dust or fibres floating around. When installed correctly, Mineral Fibre Ceiling Tiles are completely safe, even in rooms with constant air conditioning or ventilation systems.
VOCs (Volatile Organic Compounds) are chemicals that some building materials release into the air. Over time, breathing in high levels of VOCs can lead to health problems like headaches, irritation, or worse.
At Amazone by Furnitech, our Mineral Fibre Ceiling Tiles are made to be low-VOC. This means they don’t release harmful chemicals into the indoor air.
Yes. One of the biggest advantages of Mineral Fibre Ceiling Tiles is how they handle humidity. We treat our tiles with moisture-resistant coatings, so they don’t absorb water easily. This matters because excess moisture is what causes tiles to sag, warp, or worse, grow mould.
By resisting humidity, our tiles stay firm and clean, and they help prevent mould and bacteria from developing in the ceiling. That’s especially useful in tropical climates, basements, or areas with poor ventilation.
Ans: No, they are not.
This is one of the biggest myths. Older versions of insulation materials used decades ago did raise concerns, but modern Mineral Fibre Ceiling Tiles have nothing to do with those. Our tiles are made from safe, naturally sourced materials like clay and recycled paper, and contain no harmful or carcinogenic substances.
Ans: Not when installed properly.
The fibres in our Mineral Fibre Ceiling Tiles are sealed and tightly bonded during manufacturing. As long as the tile isn’t cut, broken, or mishandled, nothing leaks or crumbles into the air. Once installed in the ceiling grid, they just sit there quietly doing their job, absorbing sound, resisting fire, and keeping the space comfortable and clean.
Ans: Yes, absolutely.
Our Mineral Fibre Ceiling Tiles are low-VOC, meaning they don’t release harmful gases or strong smells. They’re also moisture-resistant, so they won’t trap dampness or support mould growth. This makes them a smart choice for sensitive spaces like kids’ nurseries, elder care homes, hospitals, or anywhere clean air and safety are priorities.
Ans: Not at all.
Some people worry that Mineral Fibre Ceiling Tiles might cause sneezing or itchy eyes. But once installed, they are fully sealed and don’t release any particles. We also avoid using harsh chemicals during manufacturing. So whether it’s a full workday in an office or a peaceful night at home, you won’t feel a thing, no irritation, no smell, just clean, quiet comfort.
Ans: Yes, but it should be replaced.
If a tile cracks or breaks, during maintenance or by accident, it’s still safe to be around. However, a damaged tile may not perform as well in terms of fire resistance or sound control. And if fibres are exposed, they could create minor dust over time. The good news is that Mineral Fibre Ceiling Tiles are easy and affordable to replace. So, it’s always best to swap out damaged ones to keep things clean, safe, and looking sharp.
When it comes to ceiling materials, safety isn’t something you want to leave to guesswork. Whether you’re planning a school, redesigning a workspace, or upgrading a healthcare facility, the right Ceiling Tiles can make a real difference, not just in how a space performs, but in how it protects the people inside it. At Amazone by Furnitech, we don’t just sell Ceiling Tiles. We guide you toward the ones that meet safety codes, support healthier indoor air, and last for years without compromise.
