01 / Overview
Quick answer
PVC 574 is listed by Jawdah as code 244-574, with no published description. To match an existing finish, identify the original code from project records or a removed tile, request a 244-574 sample from Jawdah, and compare it on site with the installed surface before ordering. Film values follow the PVC Films family, such as the 1.23 Meter roll width and GSM 100 GR/M.
Overview
When matching, the original code is the anchor
Many requests for a specific film code come from buildings that are already finished: a ceiling that needs replacement tiles after services work, a floor being extended, or a fit-out that must match a neighbouring area. In those cases the starting point is the code of the original film, and for this design that code is listed by Jawdah as 244-574.
The Jawdah data lists 244-574 without a description. Its appearance is confirmed by Jawdah through samples, and the film values are those published for the PVC Films family.
Decorative films are identified by code precisely so that a finish can be repeated. When replacement or extension work is planned, the most dependable reference is the code that was used originally, not a description or a photograph. If the original records name 244-574, that code should be carried into the new order unchanged.
Matching is still a visual decision. Installed surfaces have been exposed to light, cleaning and the building environment, so a new piece is always compared against the existing surface before quantities are committed.
02 / Performance
A practical matching procedure for 244-574
Start by tracing the original code through as-built records, finishes schedules, delivery notes or the label on spare stock. If none exists, a carefully removed tile can be sent to Jawdah so the team can identify the design or confirm whether it corresponds to 244-574.
Once a sample of 244-574 is available, hold it against the installed surface on site, under the building's own lighting and at the normal viewing angle. Daylight, artificial light and distance all change how a finish reads. Record the outcome in writing, with the sample reference, before ordering.
| Stage | What to do |
|---|---|
| Trace | Find 244-574 in records, labels or a removed tile |
| Sample | Request a current 244-574 sample from Jawdah |
| Compare | Check the sample against the installed surface on site |
| Approve | Record the approval with the sample reference |
| Order | Order using 244-574 exactly as listed |
Maintenance
Keeping matched areas consistent over time
Jawdah describes its PVC Films as easy to clean and moisture resistant. Cleaning new and old tiles with the same mild, non-abrasive method keeps their surfaces ageing in a similar way.
For facilities that expect regular access work, holding a small labelled stock of 244-574 laminated tiles or film, stored dry and away from heat, makes later replacements quicker and keeps the finish consistent. See PVC Films for the full code list.
03 / Applications
Typical situations that call for 244-574 to be matched
The Jawdah PVC Films family is listed for gypsum tiles lamination, industrial applications and rigid sheets and films/decorated applications. Matching requests for a code such as 244-574 usually arise in the first group, on laminated ceiling tiles, but the same steps apply to decorated panels.
- Replacing damaged or stained laminated ceiling tiles.
- Re-fitting tiles after MEP or services access work.
- Extending a ceiling into a newly fitted-out area.
- Keeping spare stock for future maintenance on a facility.
Compatibility
Fitting matched tiles into an existing T-Grid ceiling
Jawdah PVC laminated gypsum ceiling tiles are Lay-On tiles with a square edge in 600x600 mm and 600x1200 mm sizes, resting on exposed T-15 or T-24 grids. When tiles are replaced in an existing ceiling, the size and the grid type should be checked on site so that the new tiles sit correctly in the existing T-Grid system.
If the grid itself has been disturbed by services work, re-levelling it before new tiles are laid prevents gaps and shadow lines that would make even a well-matched finish look different.
Selection pitfalls
Pitfalls in matching an installed finish
Matching failures tend to follow the same pattern, and most can be avoided with a little preparation.
- Ordering 574 instead of the full listed code 244-574.
- Judging the match on a desk instead of against the installed surface.
- Ignoring the effect of age, light and cleaning on the existing finish.
- Scattering new tiles randomly instead of grouping them in one zone.
- Not ordering spare tiles or film for future repairs.

Film data to quote alongside 244-574
Jawdah does not publish values specific to 244-574. The PVC Films family values are material PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride) Films, roll width 1.23 Meter, roll length ±500 L.M per roll, film thickness ± 65 microns, GSM 100 GR/M and resin K value 59-60 by test method DIN 53726. Ask Jawdah to confirm these for the code when quoting.
If the matching need is for finished laminated tiles rather than film, the relevant data is on the plain gypsum ceiling tiles page, because tile size, edge and grid details belong to the tile product.

Frequently asked questions
It is listed on the PVC Films code list as 244-574. Use the full code when ordering or requesting samples.
Check as-built records, finishes schedules, delivery notes or spare-stock labels. If none name the code, send a removed tile to Jawdah for identification.
Installed finishes are affected by light, cleaning and environment, so a new sample must be compared on site against the existing surface before ordering.
No. Jawdah lists 244-574 as a code without a description. The appearance is confirmed by sample.
Jawdah manufactures PVC laminated gypsum ceiling tiles, Lay-On, in 600x600 mm and 600x1200 mm sizes for T-15 and T-24 grids. Ask the team whether the required code can be supplied on tiles.
Where possible, group new tiles in one zone or along a natural break in the ceiling rather than scattering them, so any slight difference is less noticeable.
The PVC Films family values apply, including 1.23 Meter roll width, ±500 L.M per roll, ± 65 microns and GSM 100 GR/M. Jawdah confirms them for the code at quotation.
