UNIFIED AESTHETIC PLUS TARGETED ACOUSTICS
ACOUSTICAL DESIGN FOR OPEN SPACES & EXPOSED STRUCTURES
YOUR PARTNER IN SOUND SOLUTIONS
In recent years, the design and construction community has learned that sound is far more critical than realized in the past. In fact, it’s so critical, that acoustic comfort is a key element of Indoor Environmental Quality under LEED v4.
But how do you define a comfortable acoustic environment? It depends on the environment. Proper acoustics means sounds are controlled to ensure a space suits the way it is commonly used – whether that be for concentration, collaboration or rest. Fortunately, you don’t have to decipher the complexities of acoustic performance on your own. CertainTeed Ceilings has the knowledge, expertise and resources to make sure you have the right blend of products to manage the sound in your space.

The right acoustic features for your space
Absorbing sound within a space
The most widely used measure of acoustic performance is the Noise Reduction Coefficient or NRC, which indicates sound absorption. Higher NRC values translate to quieter spaces with less reverberation and less distracting background noise from within the room.
Blocking sound to adjacent spaces
The ability of a ceiling to block sound transfer to adjacent spaces is expressed by the Ceiling Attenuation Class or CAC. High CAC values translate to improved speech privacy.
COMPLETE ACOUSTIC PERFORMANCE
Absorbing sound so the room remains quiet while blocking sound from interfering with adjacent spaces is a careful balancing act. Materials that block sound also tend to reflect it back into a space. To keep noise down and prevent disruption in adjacent spaces, maximize both NRC and CAC.
