It’s fantastic that USG BORAL has their standard Radar acoustic mineral fibre ceiling tile in black. Even though the supply price of the tile is slightly higher than the white version, the benefits outweigh the extra cost. Additionally, you get full warranty on the tile and you save on the time and expense of painting the tiles.
Technically speaking, the white and black tiles are nearly identical in performance. Both the black and white versions of the radar tile have nearly identical NRC and CAC ratings.
