Board Edge Ceiling Tiles

Board edge ceiling tiles are the most widely used format for suspended ceilings in the UK. Also known as square edge or lay-in tiles, they offer a clean, flush finish where the tile rests neatly on top of the ceiling grid.

These tiles are easy to install, remove, and replace — making them ideal for offices, schools, clinics, retail spaces, and anywhere regular access to services above the ceiling is required.

What Are Board Edge Ceiling Tiles?

Board edge tiles feature a flat, square-cut profile that simply lays into a suspended ceiling grid system (typically 24mm wide). This makes them especially easy to replace without specialist tools or labour, perfect for spaces where maintenance is frequent.
