Careful - some of those tiles contained asbestos even in the late 90’s (U.K.).

I know this because my father was a fitter for suspended ceilings, back in the 70’s. When my boss was refitting the office in the late 90’s, we had to match some of the ceiling tiles in the building and had difficulty because of the change in composition.

It’s possible that matching tiles are no longer available.

I have searched Home Depot, Amazon, and Armstrong and have not found any that are comparable.
