A sound absorbing acoustic ceiling is designed to minimise reflected sound waves, commonly known as reverberation. Unwanted background noise, including reverberation can be a problem in multi-use interior spaces, particularly where communication is important. Noise can effect the occupants of workplace environments like offices, meeting rooms, and workshops in several negative ways; It can lead to irritation, poor or misunderstood communication, and general lack of productivity. This problem of course is not limited to the workplace. Students in classrooms, audiences in theatres, etc, can all suffer when an interior space suffers from poor acoustics.
Fine fibre acoustic insulation is capable of absorbing sound waves over a wide range of frequencies. Absorption at these frequencies can be measured is sound laboratories. Specialist manufacturers like Sontext have made use of these acoustic absorbers by incorporating them into a range of decorative, sound absorbing panels, called Acoustic Panels, that can be installed on walls or ceilings to minimise reverberation as described earlier. Sontext Serenity sound absorbing acoustic ceiling panels can be installed into new interiors, or very easily retrofitted into an existing ceiling grid.
Multiple advantages
A Sontext sound absorbing acoustic ceiling
system provides numerous benefits, such as:
- Absorption of background noise and reverberation.
- Available in a wide range of finished colours, patterns dimensions.
- Very easy to install to new or existing ceilings.
- Panels can be customised if required.
- Available as timber panels or fabric faced panels
- Panels have been tested, so performance is measured and predictable over a range of frequencies.
