Water damaged Acoustical Ceiling Tile should be disposed of and NEVER Cover Up the Water Stain.
Water damaged tile - EPA Indoor Air Facts No. 4, Sick Buildings, and reads..."biological contamination may breed in...Where water has collected on ceiling tiles..." Both for environmental and aesthetic considerations, water damaged tiles should be removed and replaced.
Water stained ceiling tiles should be removed because of potential contaminants.
WATER STAINED CEILING TILES - Beware of contaminates....
STOP, DON'T Use those Aerosols
on ACOUSTICAL CEILINGS
ATTENTION - Painters, Coating and Ceiling Cleaning Companies - For those that are using tile restore in an aerosol can to COVER-UP water damaged ceiling tiles, or, you are a coating company covering up the water stained tiles with stain blocker and then putting your coating over that, you need to think about this...
According to the EPA Water Stained ceiling tiles are a possible potential Biological contaminate.
ATTENTION - RECOMENDATIONS FOR WATER DAMAGED TILES.
If your contractor is recommending anything other than replacing the water stained tile, BEWARE. Covering up water stained ceiling tiles is not the correct procedure to insure environmental health. Let’s examine the reasons:
First water damage tiles are considered a potential biological contaminate and a breeding ground for bacteria, since the wet/stained tile came from the backside of the tile instead of the front, all your doing is covering up the front part of the stain on the surface of the tile, not addressing the bacteria ramifications on the backside of the tile. At this point, Rather than take a team of experts to examine the damage (LOL), it's much better to be sure your ceiling is safe from potential contaminates and a safe work place. The correct answer is to replace the damage water stained tile.
Ask yourself this Question? Why would you spend your companies’ money to remodel your ceilings and have your current vendor cover up this potential problem with some kind of stain blocker, then paint over that? Rather than just simply replace the tile with a new one.
The painter/coating contractor uses so much stain block to hide the stain that he could have as easily put in a new ceiling tile. But the true of it is, They're not acoustical ceiling specialist, they are painting contractor.
If you Coat your ceiling you will;
- Spend 3 times more money than cleaning
- Be sorry, how many times can you coat a ceiling
- Have Odors and Over Spray
- Coating is still a paint - e.g. Painting
- Have a Monochromatic Ceiling System
- Have a hard, if not impossible surface to Clean
- Have a hard to maintain ceiling
- Have a ceiling that could breed bacteria
- Make - The Million Dollar Maintenance Mistake
If you Paint your ceiling you will;
- Spend more money than cleaning
- How many times can you paint
- Have Odors
- Have Over Spray
- Have a Monochromatic Ceiling System
- Have a hard to Clean Surface
- Have a ceiling that could breed bacteria
- Ruin the acoustical value
- Destroys fire rating
- Stick the tiles to the grid
- Make - The Million Dollar Maintenance Mistake

Clean your Ceiling • Don't "Paint" or "Coat" your ceiling
Read more and find out why our methods of restoring acoustical ceilings not only are rare, but are Exclusive. That's right, just one of the many things that makes our network different, not only do we use different products, but we also use a different philosphy when it comes to acoustical ceiling care.
We believe that you should always have your ceiling professionally cleaned, and, maintain them for years to come, and they, the ceiling painters/coating industry, they have a different philosphy, their's is to put paint/coating on your expensive ceiling system, and we THINK this is WRONG....
Why wouldn't you simply call a ceiling cleaning professional and have it cleaned?
You don't call a painter/coater to paint your carpeting, you call a Professional Carpet Cleaner, so why would you paint/coat your ceilings? Imagine the paint/coating after it was sprayed on your carpeting. How long would it stay clean, the same is for the painting/coating, how long do you expect it to say clean. See, the reason we don't paint/coat our carpets is the same reason as our ceilings, because we want to be able to clean them in the future, and since both the carpet and the ceiling are cleanable surfaces, why would you paint/coat them, the same it true, for alot of things, just think about it.
Why would you paint/coat your diffusers, grid system, sprinklers and speaker grills?
These items make up you ceiling system and can be professionally cleaned to look like new.
Once you choose to paint/coat your ceilings, in our opinion, you just committed to a process that has a short term solution to a long term problem. The Problem is, that the ceiling, is still going to get dirty at the same rate that it did before the painting/coating of the ceiling, so maintenance of your ceiling should always be a concern.
We can tell you from experience that maintaining a paint/coated ceiling instead of the original acoustical ceiling that the manufacture designed, is going to be a problem, if not impossible. And your only other option is going to be to paint it again, and by that time your ceilings is going to look even more monochromatic and drywall like in appearance.
One of the most expensive part of the ceiling system, when it is first installed is the Grid/Ceiling System, so why would you ruin the most expensive part of your ceiling.
If you just put in a new ceiling, why would you coat/paint it. You know that your ceiling is going to get dirty and need some maintenance. Just because your ceiling is dirty is no reason to paint or coat your ceiling. Ok lets say your ceiling tiles are really bad, OK, that's still no reason to paint/coat your ceiling. Clean the grids (t-Bar), diffusers, speaker grills, and other items on the ceiling and replace the tile.
Again the answer, is clear, why they want to Coat or Paint your acoustical ceilings there in the painting/coating business.
