Ceiling Tiles $12995.00Let's start with an overview of this industry and its product. Polystyrene is an inexpensive and hard plastic and probably only polyethylene is more common in your everyday life. The outside housing of the computer you are using now is probably made of polystyrene. Model cars and airplanes are made from polystyrene, and it also is made in the form of foam packaging and insulation (Styrofoam TM is one brand of polystyrene foam). Clear plastic drinking cups are made of polystyrene. So are a lot of the molded parts on the inside of your car, like the radio knobs. Polystyrene is also used in toys, and the housings of things like hairdryers, computers, and kitchen appliances. Polystyrene is a strong plastic created from erethylene and benzene that can be injected, extruded or blow molded, making it a very useful and versatile manufacturing material. Most of us recognize Styrofoam a form of foam polystyrene packaging. Polystyrene is also used as a building material, with electrical appliances (light switches and plates), and in other household items. Polystyrene has a long history of evolution behind it. In 1839, a German apothecary called Eduard Simon discovered polystyrene. Eduard Simon isolated a substance from natural resin; however, he did not know what he had discovered. It took another German, organic chemist, Hermann Staudinger, to realize that Simon's discovery comprised of long chains of styrene molecules, was a plastic polymer. In 1922, Staudinger published his theories on polymers, stating that natural rubbers were made up of long repetitive chains of monomers that gave rubber its elasticity. He went on to write that the materials manufactured by the thermal processing of styrene were similar to rubber. They were the high polymers including polystyrene. In 1953, Hermann Staudinger won the Nobel Prize for Chemistry for his research. In 1930, the scientists at BASF developed a way to commercially manufacture polystyrene. Badische Anilin & Soda-Fabrik (BASF) was founded in 1861. BASF has invented synthetic coal tar dyes, ammonia, and nitrogenous fertilizers and developed polystyrene PVC, magnetic tape, and synthetic rubber. (Note: A company called I. G. Farben is often listed as the developer of polystyrene because BASF was under trust to I. G. Farben in 1930.) In 1937, Dow Chemical introduced polystyrene to the U.S. market.
The ceiling and wall panels you will make are the most beautiful available today in any medium.

A major advantage of your ceiling and wall panels is how easy they are to clean using mild household detergent and plain water rinse. You can nail or staple them and they will not split or crack, as they might if they were formed using reconstituted materials.

Your panels are manufactured using materials that can withstand considerable handling and abuse without damage. This material will not deteriorate, rust or corrode. It is lightweight and easy to install. You can nail, staple or glue these products in place. You can use a suspended grid system that, when decorated with an exclusive joint strip, becomes invisible and indistinguishable from the custom built ceiling. You can paint the panels any color or leave them in their natural beautiful white semi-gloss finish. They can be installed by professionals or by the homeowner. They will last a lifetime and be a source of constant comment from all who see them. The tin ceilings of yesterday were an American attempt to duplicate the beautiful plaster ceilings of Europe. Today you will offer this most beautiful of all ceilings in a modern material, high impact polymer plastic, in which the texture closely resembles the appearance of plaster ceilings. Molded polymer is the ceiling material of the Twentieth Century and beyond. You will be responsible for the design, style, and manufacturing of these beautiful ceiling and wall panels.
