VOLCANIC CEILING
Eurostone’s new innovative, long lasting ceiling tiles
Dan Passios & Neil Berry
Comprised of inorganic volcanic stone these tiles Are warranted to remain
dimentionaly stable up to 120˚ F.
EuroStone may support credits toward U.S. Green Building Council Project
LEED®* certification.
EuroStone’s unique blend of perlite and an inorganic binder results in a life expectancy that far
exceeds any panel offered in the industry. EuroStone is the only ceiling panel backed by an exclusive
40 year limited lifetime warranty
Because EuroStone is made of non-hazardous, non-fibrous materials and is 100% recyclable.
Best of all, EuroStone is formaldehyde and asbestos-free.
Time tested to last in harsh environments such as; offshore platforms,
passenger and cargo ships.
Due to these tests EuroStone’s unmatched safety characteristics secured the approval of the
United States Coast Guard.
Compared to normal ceiling
tiles…
Conventional Tiles
Warranted at 10 to 15 years with actual lifespan of 4 to 10 years due
to environmental degradation
Prices range from $0.50 to $1.75 per ft2
Able to be chipped, scratched, faded ultimately leading to
replacement
Made from synthetic mineral fibers that are inorganic, glassy (silica
based)
Spun at high temperatures from rock, clay, slag, and glass
Found to be harmful to quality of air over an extended period of
time
Volcanic Tiles
Warranted at 40 years with consistent shape and color
Prices range from $0. 98 to $1. 20 per ft2
Not susceptible to water damage, color change, or chipping and
scratching
Made from perlite, a blend of inorganic volcanic stone
Aids and supports indoor air quality while offering the best
defense against harmful mold and bacteria growth without
coatings or biocides.
Health Factors
Mineral fiber ceiling tiles support the growth of
mold, mildew, and bacteria in moist conditions.
Cellulose, where present, provides food for mold,
mildew, and bacteria
mineral fiber ceiling tiles were initially made with
phenol formaldehyde binders, and off-gassing the
poison created problems
Sick Building Syndrome (SBS) became a problem
when the fine irritating particles are released into
the air due to electromagnetic attraction from
computers
Eurostone will not burn, emit toxic smoke, or
contribute fuel in a fire, and help maintain indoor
air quality in any acoustical ceiling application
Eurostone tiles are recyclable, and if not recycled,
they may be ground up and used as a soil additive
