Used this in my basement bathroom after a leak in the upstairs bathroom buckled the drywalled ceiling. I was looking for a removable ceiling in case of future leaks or maintenance needs. A suspended ceiling seemed like the first choice, but I had not encountered tiles that would hold up to the humidity in a small bathroom with low ceilings. I knew they would all eventually sag and/or mold. I had considered laminating FRP to plywwood and cutting down to use as tiles. Then I came across these tiles on-line, and they seemed to be what I had been looking for. Hate buying things without handling them first, but gave these a try. My bathroom is small, so tile cost was not a big issue, although I could see it being an issue on full basements. Seems like they could be a couple dollars cheaper. Tiles were just as described. They cut VERY easy with a straight edge and utility knife. Score well and snap. I used with a Ceiling Max plastic grid system for added ceiling height and the tiles worked great. Note that this version is a plain smooth white finish, maybe a little too "sterile" or "commercial" like for some, but I would think the textured versions would be a good choice for better aesthetics in a living area. If you haven't already figured it out, tiles are thin compared to regular ceiling tiles, about like thickness of corrugated cardboard. I used a 2 x 2 grid layout and see no issues arising from sagging in the future. Overall, did a nice looking, durable, removable and humidity resistant ceiling. I would definitely recommend to others with this need.
Pros: Easy to Install, Easy to Work With, Light Weight
Yes, I recommend this product.

I didn't want spend the extra money on these verses the standard acoustic tiles. But the quality of the material is so much nicer - doesn't chip, easy to clean, cut... doesn't crumble in your hand. For the life of my basement and aesthetic resale value, it was worth the expense

These tiles are great! We got tired of replacing the ones that get all stained and saggy and moldy over time, so spent a few bucks more on these. I can see why they say they are the last tile I'll ever install. The Smooth White tiles look wonderful and they really brighten up the room. They were very easy to cut and there was no mess to speak of. Not like those other composite type we fooled with before. All we needed was a ruler and box cutter ~~~Hint - Use a fresh blade~~~ I could not ask for any more from a ceiling tile than I got from Genesis. I believe the little extra I paid was gotten back in ease of installation, and satisfaction knowing I don't have to do it again EVER.
Yes, I recommend this product.

We used these tiles to create a drop ceiling in the bedroom we created for our son in the basement. We choice these tiles because they were inexpensive and smooth. Everyone in the family drew a special picture on one of the tiles for my son that he can now look at every night to see how much he's loved.
Yes, I recommend this product.

I've installed these in 2 commercial kitchens already. They're sturdy tiles. They're easy to cut; just score with a utility knife and snap. And Home Depot has better pricing than the manufacturer on product and shipping. Order arrived quickly.
Yes, I recommend this product.
