#The foam faux tray ceiling system 10, consists of at least four tiles 12a, 12b, 12c, 12d preferably precut into lengths designed to form a rectangular soffit around the perimeter of a ceiling C. The soffit is formed by placing the tiles 12a-12d around the perimeter of a ceiling with the tiles being connected at several joints 14. The joints 14 are preferably sealed with joint compound and painted to match the tiles. The tiles 12a-12d are made of a lightweight polymer foam material, such as polyurethane or polystyrene, are preferably glued and/or screwed to the ceiling C.

#Each tile 12a-12d in the system 10 is substantially the same with different tiles varying only by length. The length of the tiles 12a-12d are preferably between eight and sixteen feet, with widths preferably between six and eighteen inches. The tiles 12a-12d are preferably about one inch thick, so that when the tiles 12a-12d are applied to the ceiling C, the recess formed by the tiles 12a-12d resembles an inverted tray. The aforementioned dimensions produce tiles with a much higher length to width ratio than existing ceiling tiles. It will be understood that the aforegoing dimensions are by way of illustration, and actual dimensions may vary.
