A true black ceiling tile that makes any project achievable
Zentia, a market-leading UK manufacturer of high-performance acoustic ceiling and wall solutions, is excited to bring its new Ebro AB Mineral Fibre ceiling tile to the market. With its smooth pinned face, straightforward board edge and true black finish, it helps deliver bold black ceiling designs with ease.
Black ceilings are becoming increasingly popular in commercial interiors; however, they still need to work to the project brief, programme and budget. The Ebro AB tile is designed as an affordable route to a true black ceiling, while still providing acoustic performance for everyday spaces.
The tile is finished in true black (nearest RAL 9005) and has a smooth, pinned face with a straightforward edge. It is especially ideal for cost-sensitive interiors where black ceilings set the tone, such as cinemas, cafes, hospitality spaces, retail and drama and music educational spaces.

Not only has the UK-manufactured Ebro AB been designed with aesthetics in mind, but it has also been developed to support comfortable interiors with sound absorption that goes beyond typical “black aesthetic only” solutions.
For the best visual results, Zentia recommends specifying Ebro AB along with Gridline 24 in black. The black grid and tile combination helps support a consistent black finish and create a more intentional ceiling finish, especially in open, customer-facing environments where colour consistency is immediately noticeable.
"Ebro
AB brings both style and functionality to any interior space," said John
Spicer, Head of New Product Development, at Zentia. "We are thrilled to
offer a solution that meets the aesthetic needs of modern design while also
prioritising acoustic performance."
The introduction of Ebro AB further strengthens Zentia’s portfolio of acoustic ceiling solutions, offering specifiers a practical option for achieving consistent black ceiling designs without compromising on performance or cost considerations. With its combination of visual simplicity and reliable acoustic properties, Ebro AB is well suited to a wide range of commercial and education environments where both aesthetics and functionality are key.
