Sandila/O

OWAcoustic premium Sandila /O is a textured, plain, 600×600 mm, white painted, sand covered, mineral wool ceiling tile. It’s an unneedled tile, available with a square edge and 24mm tegular edge. We machine the tegular edges and paint the surface and edges to match.

Sandila /O is a quality, cost-effective, plain utility tile, suitable for general use. Therefore, we recommend it for areas where noise levels from activities is low so a high sound absorption is not necessary, the plain surface offers class E sound absorption. We keep 600×600 mm tiles in stock at our warehouse in Birmingham. Please call to discuss a project specification or an immediate refurbishment.

OWA manufactures our mineral wool tiles from natural and recycled materials using a wet-felt process. Our boards contain negligible VOCs and exclude formaldehyde resin in their formulation. Therefore, they contribute to excellent indoor air quality which is ideal for public spaces.

Sandila /O plain tiles form a complete suspended ceiling system when combined with our exposed tee grid and perimeter trim. They are easy to install and demount for service access. OWA mineral board is dense and firm, ensuring the tiles maintain integrity during frequent handling. There is no need to reseal a cut OWA tile, and the density prevents dust settling and marking the surface via air filtration.
