Things Are Looking Up at Outwater: New Decorative Ceiling Panels

Things are looking up at Outwater [Outwater Plastics Industries, Inc. + Architectural Products by Outwater, LLC] with the introduction of many new Decorative Ceiling Panels comprising a host of different materials, designs and colors to accommodate a wide range of residential and commercial applications.

Outwater has chosen to highlight those Decorative Ceiling Panels that acquired the most significant attention and positive feedback at the recent 2014 International Builder’s and Kitchen & Bath Shows.

Acrylic Ceiling Panels

The Summer Solstice and the phenomenon of the ensuing Midnight Sun, where the sun is visible for as long as twenty-four hours per day, only takes place for a finite period of time in the most northern and southern latitudes.

For those desiring random images of soft white clouds against a light blue sky with a bright, open airy ambiance in “perpetuity,” but who are otherwise either unable or unwilling to relocate to anywhere near the Arctic or Antarctic Circles, Outwater is pleased to introduce its new series of Acrylic Ceiling Panels.

Imagine not only having the year round opportunity to turn on the serenity and beauty of a magnificent Summer Sky at your fingertips, but also being able to fully enjoy it in the temperate, climate controlled interior surroundings of your home or office.

Offered as two-by-two-foot panels with six randomly mixed sky patterns or two-by-four-foot panels with four randomly mixed sky patterns, Outwater’s Acrylic Ceiling Panels are designed for easy “drop in” use with standard 15/16-inch suspended ceiling channel grid systems.

An impervious, low maintenance and easy to clean surface renders Outwater’s Acrylic Ceiling Panels waterproof, mildew-resistant as well as germ and bacteria-free.

Stamped Steel Ceiling Panels

Think Green! Build Green! Save Green! Outwater has turned back the clock with its new offering of finely crafted, highly detailed tin-free, premium quality Stamped Steel Ceiling Panels.

Having combined the perfect mix of both texture and nostalgia with the timeless elegance and decorative grandeur of the past, Outwater’s Stamped Steel Ceiling Panelsenliven contemporary and traditional fashions alike by providing charm and beauty to any room with a variety of historically accurate Victorian to Art Deco period inspired designs from which to choose. 

Manufactured of lightweight 30 gauge, .010-inch-thick chromium treated tin-free steel comprising 30 percent recycled materials, Outwater’sStamped Ceiling Panels are available in two-by-two-foot lay-in and two-by-four-foot nail-up formats with complementary Filler Panels and four-foot Cornices for easy installation using traditional nail-up and suspension methods. 

Outwater’s Stamped Steel Ceiling Panels are offered either uncoated or in an array of five different finishes. For additional authenticity, steel cone head nails are available for nail-up applications.

Thermoplastic PVC Ceiling Panels

Don’t replace… reface! Outwater’s highly detailed, Class-A Fire Rated Thermoplastic PVC Ceiling Panels not only enable a perfect, professional two-by-two-foot and two-by-four-foot glue-up or lay-in installation by anyone without their ever having had any prior experience in fabricating ceilings, they are available in a variety of different traditional and contemporary finishes to accommodate any décor.

Handled similarly to Outwater’s aforementioned Acrylic Ceiling Panels, Outwater’s Thermoplastic PVC Ceiling Panels are designed to be installed over the exposed surface of one’s old, existing discolored and water stained ceiling panels.

Not only impact-, chemical-, and scratch-resistant, Outwater’s Thermoplastic PVC Ceiling Panels can be easily cut with common household scissors, utility knives or razors for further customized fabrication to accept most lighting, ventilation, water sprinkler, and surface-mounted speaker systems.

When used with standard 15/16-inch suspended ceiling channel grid systems, Outwater’s lightweight formed Thermoplastic PVC Ceiling Panels can be effortlessly “dropped” into ceiling grids using just hold down clips, or, if being utilized to replace existing ceiling panels, they can be easily installed leaving the old panels intact for additional stability and thermal insulation without the need for hold down clips.

Because Outwater’s waterproof Thermoplastic PVC Ceiling Panels are mildew-resistant as well as germ and bacteria-free, they never require any follow up maintenance, readily enabling their use in difficult to access applications.

Outwater also offers corresponding snap-on 15/16-inch suspended ceiling channel grid covers as a low-cost alternative to replacing or repainting rusted, stained or deteriorated metal grids.

Versa Tile Ceiling Panels

As a result of great advancements in manufacturing technology in conjunction with lower production and materials costs, Outwater’s newly updated version of its original Versa Tile Ceiling Panels are practically indistinguishable from the look and feel of real plaster ceiling tiles.

Now offering even better quality than Outwater’s previous Versa Tile Ceiling Panels at 40 percent of their original cost, Outwater’s revolutionary, new line comprises lightweight, nonpolluting, thoroughly biodegradable rigid polyurethane that simply “drops in” to standard 15/16-inch suspended ceiling channel grid systems without the use of hold down clips, and as with Outwater’s Thermoplastic PVC Ceiling Panels, easily conforms to accept most lighting, ventilation and surface mounted speaker systems.

Like wood ceiling panels, Outwater’s Versa Tile Ceiling Panels are durable enough to be tooled and even refinished as desired. However, unlike ordinary gypsum and plaster ceiling tiles, Versa Tile Ceiling Panels won’t break, stain or chip.

Additionally, because Versa Tile Ceiling Panels are dimensionally stable as well as impermeable to moisture and insects, they require no maintenance, not only making them suitable for indoor or outdoor use, they are backed by a lifetime warranty against manufacturing defects.
