"We manufacture METRIC Drop Ceiling Tiles. ($8.00 - Unfinished)
Unfortunately, we as Americans are the last ones on the planet to embrace the metric system. Anyone in the metric world who wants to use USA drop tiles has 2 options:
Import imperial sized grid
Buy something else
Since we don't really like either option, we have built tooling to manufacture metric dimension panels. Now you can order your metric panels from American Tin Ceiling Co. and purchase your 24mm grid locally. We look forward to hearing from you concerning your next remodel or acoustical tile replacement. Metric Drop-Ins are made to fit:
600mm X 600mm on center grid"

thanks, Johannes!
agree Tony M : Yes, it is of course just the dimensions of the ceiling itself that are 'metric' (i.e. on a pitch of 50 cm, for example, instead of 24" for imperial ceilings).

neutral Tony M : Surely that would mean '1-m sized'? (cf. chemin de fer métrique = 1-m-gauge railway)
