Three tools designed to help you select the ceiling solutions to optimize acoustical performance.
Ceiling tile tools required for drop ceiling installation are usually basic tools such as a utility knife, aviation snips and a grid punch. Very few specialty tools for acoustical ceiling installation are generally required.
Rockfon baffles, islands and ceiling panels that can achieve Noise Reduction Coefficients (NRC) as high as 0.95. Sound-absorbing Rockfon ceiling products shorten reverberation time, improve speech intelligibility, decrease noise levels and promote privacy.
Acoustic ceiling tiles and panels are made of lightweight materials and are porous, making them great at sound absorption and terrible at sound blocking. Use ceilings for sound absorption only. Absorption performance is characterized by Noise Reduction Coefficient (NRC) and ranges from 0 and 1 – the higher the better.
Acoustic regulations are changing, provoking designers and architects to put noise absorption first. Achieving NRC sound requirements for speech intelligibility and reduced reverberation start with Rockfon stone wool ceiling products.
We’ve simplified the answer to this question in our newest whitepaper.
The way Ceiling Attenuation Class (CAC) of ceiling panels is tested, does not properly account for conditions such as flanking paths and noise leaks and cannot be viewed as an accurate measure of what will be experienced by people in buildings.
Optimizing the acoustics in your interior ceiling and wall project. In Gary Madaras's whitepaper - Rockfon's Acoustic Specialist - learn the configurations to comply with the acoustical criteria in building standards, guidelines and rating systems in cost-efficient manners.
Acoustic ceiling tiles with high-NRC ratings for sound blocking, paired with interior walls with high-STC ratings for sound blocking, and coordinated with background sound levels for sound privacy will ensure your design achieves an optimized acoustic experience.
Managing, or even understanding, the acoustic noise cancelling, blocking and absorbing demands of a building can be a challenging task. Get quick tips on reducing reverberation and noise transmission between rooms in your next project.
We provide customers with a complete acoustic ceiling system offering, combining sound absorbing ceiling tiles and specialty metal panels with suspension grid systems and accessories.
