Can You Paint Acoustic Ceiling Tiles

Painting an acoustic ceiling with regular paint will decrease the sound absorbing qualities of the tile, as will using a primer before painting. If noise control is a concern, use a paint specifically formulated for acoustic tile to reduce this effect.

Can you paint old acoustic ceiling tiles?

Coat yes, paint no! Traditional paint will fill the pores in acoustical ceiling tiles therefore voiding its sound dampening qualities. Alpine Painting can apply a specialty coating, such as ProCoat, made for acoustical ceiling tiles.

Can you spray paint acoustic ceiling tiles?

Shake the ceiling spray paint can if painting acoustic ceiling tiles, as recommended on the paint can. Spray the tiles with smooth, even strokes, keeping the can a foot or so away from the tile as you spray. Apply a second coat as needed or in stained areas where the stain may show through otherwise.
