Air quality and acoustic's impact on students, schools, and ESSER funds
Health issues
Poor indoor air quality impacts respiratory issues, such as asthma. Mold and moisture, problems that can arise from poor air quality, are known triggers for asthma and allergies.
Classroom performance
Buildings and classrooms with high quality airflow and acoustics have shown enhanced student learning, higher test scores overall, and a better average daily attendance.
Operating costs
Schools can save 20-40% of annual utility costs by applying high performance design concepts, which includes air quality and acoustics. The ESSER funds schools are awarded can be applied directly to these high performing designs.

Frequently asked questions
What are ceiling tiles in school made of?
Most school ceiling tiles are made of mineral fiber or fiberglass.
Why do schools use ceiling tiles?
Schools use ceiling tiles because they provide an easy way to access the area above, which includes plumbing, electrical wiring, and ductwork. They also have performance attributes needed in most classroom settings to maximize learning. Those include aiding in the sound control, controlling the brightness, and helping with the airflow.
How do you install ceiling tiles?
For most DIY-ers installing a drop ceiling is something that can be done quickly. Some of our products require better technical skills, more time planning and measuring, and more tools, like metal shears.
