Mark,
Yes, these ceiling tiles are pretty nice. Those old fiberglass panels were a pain but with these being completely covered with the fiberglass-vinyl latex composite, they quite nice. I too am not a fan of the mineral fiber panels. The ceiling grid was installed with the help of a friend last weekend and I am installing the tiles. Pictures coming soon.
The floor is concrete and will be carpeted with 2'x2' carpet tiles. Waiting for the delivery truck as we speak.
