I'm looking for 16-inch acoustic, staple-on ceiling tiles to patch
some bad spots in an older apartment I have. It would seem they are no
longer available (all I can seem to find is 12-inch tiles).

Anyone know of sources for these? I hate the idea of ripping out the
entire ceiling when I only need to replace a few tiles.

Thanks,

John

That's an odd size. My guess is that they made that size to install
them directly on the ceiling joists which are (or should be) 16" on
center.
You could make your own 16x16 tile. Buy the 12 inch tiles, then make a
4 foot square by glueing them together. You can now cut out 9 16X16
tiles. Or you can buy an oversized tile like 24X24 or 24X48 and cut a
piece out.

TEN YEAR OLD THREAD, dummy. When are those idiots at HomeMoaners
ever going to check the dates of posts they are replying to before
they make a fool of themselves?
