Use main runners and cross tees from one system. Different makes don't always lock together. If you're extending an existing Zentia grid, match the profile and colour, or run the new area as a separate bay with its own wall angle.
How to match a tile in an existing ceiling
- Check the back of an existing tile. Most Zentia tiles are printed with a product code (for example BP5460M4A). Match it to the codes in the table.
- Match the edge and module. Board (square) edge or tegular, 600 × 600 or 1200 × 600, and the grid width (24mm or 15mm).
- Match the performance you need. Use the same or better sound absorption, attenuation between rooms, fire rating and humidity resistance. This matters most for mezzanines, corridors and clinics.
- Think about appearance. Texture and whiteness vary by brand, and older tiles yellow with age. For an even look, re-tile a whole room or zone.
- Work out quantities. Use our suspended ceiling calculator for tiles, grid and hanger wire, priced live.
Frequently asked questions
What is the closest alternative to Zentia Aruba tiles?
Knauf AMF Thermatex Feinstratos Micro is the closest match we sell. It is a 600 × 600 × 15mm mineral tile with αw 0.60 (Class C), 34 dB attenuation, A2-s1,d0 fire rating and 85% light reflectance, the same headline figures as Aruba. It comes in board edge and Tegular 24. OWA Sandila/N is another close option. We also list Zentia Aruba Board and Tegular24: limited availability, call 03330 908479 for price and stock.
What are Cortega, Tatra, Fine Fissured and Dune eVo called now?
Zentia renamed several ranges. Cortega is now Fission ND, Tatra is now Fission, Fine Fissured is now Fission FT, Dune eVo is now Aruba, Ultima+ is now Prestige, Bioguard is now Biobloc and Mezzanine DL 100 is now Mezzguard.
Can I mix a different brand of tile into an existing Zentia ceiling?
You can, but colour, texture and edge detail rarely match exactly. For a patch repair, use a tile with the same edge (board or tegular), thickness and module. Ideally re-tile a whole room or a clearly separate zone, so slight differences in whiteness don't show.
Will Rockfon, OWA or Knauf AMF tiles fit an existing Zentia grid?
Square edge (board) tiles in 600 × 600 or 1200 × 600 sit in any standard 24mm exposed grid, including Zentia Gridline 24 and Prelude 24. Tegular tiles must suit the grid width (T24 for 24mm, T15 for 15mm). Check the grid profile before ordering.
Which grid can I use instead of Zentia Gridline 24 or Prelude 24?
We stock 24mm exposed grid from Rockfon (T24 Click), OWA (CLIQ 24) and USG Donn (DX24). Use main runners and cross tees from the same system. Don't mix systems within one ceiling.
Do you still sell Zentia ceiling tiles?
We list Zentia Aruba Board, Aruba Tegular24 and Fission Board. Availability is limited, so call 03330 908479 for price and stock. If we can't supply the quantity you need, we'll suggest the closest matching tile from the ranges on this page.
