Blox Cubic Illusion Ceiling Tiles

Our designs are only intended to work with the standard 15/16″ wide ceiling grid, the norm in most drop ceilings today. Some of our tiles can also be glued to a flat surface.

Our tiles should not be used in locations where temperatures will exceed 120 degrees Fahrenheit.  They may sag and not sit flat in the grid.  They should also not be transported or stored at high temperatures. This is a standard issue with all PVC tiles, regardless of manufacturer.

 PVC is the only thermoformable plastic that has a Class A Fire and Smoke rating.  This means that it burns similarly to paper or wood and does not add significant fuel to a fire.  It is also self extinguishing, meaning that if it catches on fire, the combustion gasses smother the flame.

Brutal tiles are only made in bright white but can be painted.  We recommend using a Sherwin Williams VinylSafe 100% acrylic latex.

Due to their 3-D shape, they cannot be easily cut for narrower openings.  Use a cut down mineral tile, or our Zona trimmable border tile product.

Brutal tiles are very thin and lightweight.  Anything touching from above may distort the tile and the edges will not sit correctly.  Any lighting, wires or insulation must be fully supported by structure above the tile.

Brutal tiles are bright white, but show subtle variations in shadow very well, so directional lighting coming in from the sides gives the most dramatic effect.  Up lighting from floor lamps near walls and wall sconces works great.  LED panel lighting is the least flattering, but usually a necessity.  Light coming in through windows also shows off the tiles nicely.
