| Acoustic - Sound Absorption
Coefficient (NRC) |
|
|
Sound
absorption is a primary design criterion and key to more
effective spaces for living, working, and relaxing. |
| |
| Acoustic - Ceiling Attenuation
Class (CAC) |
|
|
Attenuation is an especially
significant measure in providing acoustic privacy
between adjacent areas, where sound can penetrate plenum
spaces and carry to other rooms. Rates a structure's
efficiency as a barrier to airborne sound at 16 speech
frequencies. |
|
| Acoustic - Articulation Class
(AC) |
|
|
Articulation
rates a ceiling's suitability for achieving normal
privacy in open spaces by absorbing noise
reflected at an angle off the ceiling into adjacent
areas. |
| |
| Durability |
|
|
We've tested our ceiling performance
in 5 key categories to ensure you can select those
critical to your applications. |
| |
| Fire Resistance |
|
|
Local building codes require
fire-safe construction for many building applications. |
| |
| Humidity Resistance |
|
|
Ceilings are designed to
prevent sagging as a result of exposure to high relative
humidity (moisture). |
| |
| Light reflectance |
|
|
Growing
awareness of new, energy-saving lighting often overlooks
the integral role of the ceiling. A high
light-reflectance ceiling makes lighting systems -
especially indirect lighting - more effective, while
further reducing energy costs and consumption. |
