Redefine the Grid with 3 New Game-Changing Acoustic Ceiling Tiles

Step away from the status quo and reimagine the potential of T-Grid ceilings with 3 new ACT products designed to elevate the surface from afterthought to architectural feature. Often found in offices, schools, healthcare facilities, and beyond, the standard ceiling grid structure can feel stifling to design around — functional, familiar, but often uninspired. With limited offerings of generic and bland tiles to fill it, T-Grids deliver monotonous visual impact. At Kirei, we believe grid ceilings deserve more.

Traditional acoustic ceiling tiles (ACT) serve a functional purpose, but offer little in terms of design innovation or enhanced acoustic performance. This latest ACT Pack release empowers designers to Redefine the Grid with a bold new lineup of three acoustic ceiling tiles made from reliable, absorbent PET. With superior sound control, striking aesthetics, and sustainable materials, these ceiling tiles breathe new life into traditional T-grid systems, proving that ceilings aren’t just necessities—they’re opportunities.

With open-concept offices, bustling classrooms, and high-traffic healthcare spaces becoming the norm, the need for better acoustic control has never been greater. Poor acoustics lead to excessive noise buildup, echo, and reduced speech intelligibility, all of which negatively affect productivity, comfort, and well-being. According to a study by Gensler (2019), 70% office workers are dissatisfied with noise levels in their workspace. Similarly, in schools, poor acoustics can reduce student comprehension, impacting learning outcomes.

Kirei’s new ACT Pack changes the game by delivering ceiling tiles that not only absorb sound but also introduce depth, texture, and visual interest—transforming ceilings into design-forward elements without compromising functionality.

Introducing Gather, Hatch, and Sidebar, —three innovative ACT designs that push the boundaries of traditional grid layouts. Each tile is crafted from at least 60% recycled PET, reinforcing Kirei’s commitment to sustainability while offering seamless compatibility with standard 15/16” T-grid ceiling systems. No costly renovations, no complex installations—just an instant, impactful upgrade.

Sleek, minimalist, and sophisticated, Gather ACT features a progressive groove pattern that enhances both sound control and aesthetic appeal. Designed to soften harsh acoustics while adding a refined touch, Gather creates a harmonious balance in offices, hospitality spaces, and educational institutions. With its understated elegance, Gather proves that less is more when it comes to acoustic ceiling design.

Inspired by a fusion of Art Deco, Frank Lloyd Wright architecture, and techno synthwave aesthetics, Hatch ACT redefines ceiling texture with its grooved, intersecting lines. The result? A dynamic sense of movement and depth that adds bold architectural character to any space. Ideal for designers seeking a contemporary, geometric pattern, Hatch makes ceilings an integral part of the design narrative.

With a subtle yet impactful linear depth, Sidebar ACT is perfect for breaking up monotonous grid patterns. Unlike conventional flat tiles, Sidebar introduces dimension and rhythm, offering installation flexibility to achieve standard, rotated, or mixed orientations. Whether used for subtle texture or bold contrast, Sidebar turns any ceiling into a visually compelling feature.

The ACT Pack isn’t just about looks—it’s about performance. Each tile is engineered for superior acoustic absorption and diffusion, ensuring that sound clarity is enhanced across a variety of environments. With an impressive Noise Reduction Coefficient (NRC) of 0.85, this ACT Pack significantly reduces echo and background noise. Whether it’s an open-plan workspace, a bustling healthcare setting, or a collaborative classroom, these tiles create a more comfortable and functional sound environment.

Each ACT is structured in sustainability, made from at least 60% post-consumer recycled plastic bottles, diverting waste from landfills and supporting green building certifications like LEED, EPDs, and Declare Labels. Additionally, Kirei’s low VOC emissions ensure healthier indoor air quality—critical for any environment looking to meet modern wellness standards.

Continue to think outside of the box with endless game-changing custom options. Available in 2’x2’ and 2’x4’ sizes, the tiles can be installed in standard, flipped, or rotated configurations for endless design possibilities. And with unique cuts or Kirei Ink prints, designers can bring their vision to life with hyper-realistic printed colors, textures, and branding, making every ceiling uniquely theirs.

A major advantage of the ACT Pack is its effortless integration into existing 15/16” T-grid systems. No need for extensive renovations—just drop the new tiles in place and transform the space instantly. This ease of installation makes them an ideal solution for retrofitting outdated ceilings without the hassle of major construction.

From corporate offices looking to reduce noise distractions to educational institutions needing better classroom acoustics, and healthcare facilities aiming to balance sound control with modern aesthetics—these tiles fit seamlessly into any space with a T-grid ceiling. 

Ceilings no longer have to be boring, overlooked surfaces. With this ACT Pack, Kirei is giving architects and designers the power to turn ceilings into stunning, sustainable, high-performance acoustic solutions. Whether it’s the geometric energy of Hatch, the structured depth of Sidebar, or the refined minimalism of Gather, this collection allows for unparalleled creative expression in ceiling design.
