Suspended Ceiling Sound Barrier

These ceiling tiles drop into existing t bar suspended ceiling grid systems.

Suspended ceiling sound barrier.

The acoustic mineral wool will enhances this sound loss by absorbing a proportion of the noise that would otherwise bounce off the structural ceiling above. We recall that sound is a vibration of waves and this vibration requires a solid pathway or conductor to follow. Any reflected sound wave component will be further. The signature sound barrier ceiling tile is a double duty soundproofing ceiling tile.

The decoupling element of soundproofing involves separating the framing in the ceiling to break the sound pathway hence reducing noise. Each panel in this category rates up to 55 nrc noise reduction coefficient which measures the amount of sound a material can absorb. While the double ceiling method is probably the most effective approach to the problem vibration hangers are commonly used to support single ceiling systems as well. These are used when wall partitions do not extend up above the ceiling grid to the roof deck and offer an economical alternative to building full partition walls.

Was established in 1958 as industrial consultants focused on controlling sound and vibration kinetics now produces the industry s largest selection of products and solutions that control airborne noise isolate structure borne vibration enhance room acoustics create quiet spaces and restrain non structural. In the case of our ceilings that solid path is in the form of joists or studs. Ceilume soniguard 24 in. The sound barrier mat has a sound blocking value of 14db and acts as the name of the tile suggests as a noise stopper.

The ceiling tile consists of a 1 thick 6 pound density fiberglass covered with your choice of facings. The ceiling tile sound barrier is made of combined fire rated 1 lb mass loaded vinyl which acts as a sound barrier and 1 fiberglass which absorbs the sound. It works for both lowering sound transmission as well as reducing reverberation. Soundproofing a ceiling involves preventing the transmission of sound wave vibrations from the underside of the ceiling to the floor above it and vice versa.

If the single ceiling is of the sound barrier type the vibration isolator helps to prevent the passage of structural noise just as in the case of the double ceiling. Ceiling tile barrier backers can be installed in both new and existing spaces to reduce the amount of sound transmitted from one space to the next. Sound waves originating from the source will be initially absorbed by the fiberglass and then blocked by the mass loaded vinyl. Kinetics noise control inc.
