Acoustic Tiles
Acoustic tiles are white, have skin like an orange and are filled with small holes. They are made of fiberglass, so if you slide them back to reveal the ductwork above them, you may get showered with tiny fibers of glass that will burrow into your skin causing irritation: redness and itching. These fibers will remain in your skin until the epidermal layer in which they are imbedded, sloughs off, usually in the shower. If you try to dislodge these fibers by itching the skin, you will only drive them further into your epidermus, prolonging the symptoms.
Acoustic tiles are designed for deception. They hide wires, support beams, vermin, air ducts, dust, cat burglars, asbestos, listening devices, pipes, and hidden cameras. Do not trust acoustic tiles.
