How to Choose An Acoustic Ceiling?

Sound-absorbing panels are an ideal material for sound absorption and decoration. It has the advantages of sound absorption, environmental protection, flame retardancy, heat insulation, heat preservation, moisture resistance, mold resistance, easy dust removal, easy cutting, patchwork, easy construction, good stability, good impact resistance, good independence, high-cost performance, etc. A wide range of colors is available to meet the needs of different styles and levels of acoustic decoration.

Here is the content list:

• See if there are test reports on the performance of the sound-absorbing panels

• Look at the thickness and weight of the Acoustic Ceiling

• Look at the strength, water, and fire resistance of Acoustic Ceilings

See if there are test reports on the performance of the sound-absorbing panels

In theory, any material has acoustic properties, even a thin piece of printer paper can be soundproofed, so many materials on the market that would otherwise be just very common are called sound-absorbing panels by manufacturers, including gypsum board, magnesium board, calcium silicate board, wood board, etc., leading to consumers being easily duped. One of the most important principles in choosing acoustic ceilings: is whether the acoustic ceiling has an authoritative test report.

Secondly, it is also important to note whether the acoustic ceiling sold by the manufacturer and the sample sent for testing is the same product. If the samples sent for testing are thicker, heavier, made of a different material, or specially treated, and the actual samples sold are a different product, then it is clear that the acoustic ceiling products sold will not achieve the sound insulation values indicated in the test report.

In this respect, consumers should pay attention to the qualifications, credit, and goodwill of acoustic ceiling manufacturers to avoid being duped as far as possible.

Look at the thickness and weight of the acoustic ceiling

The acoustic ceiling is a sound insulation material based on a completely new principle of sound insulation. The significant increase in sound insulation is not achieved by increasing the weight and thickness the acoustic ceiling is only 18 mm thick or even thinner, but the sound insulation of a light steel keel wall made of it can reach 53 dB, and with the right combination of walls, the sound insulation of a wall can even reach 80 dB. This acoustic ceiling is not only the best sound insulation among acoustic panel products of the same thickness and weight on the market, but it is also many times better than any acoustic ceiling of the same thickness and weight.

Look at the strength, water, and fire resistance of acoustic ceilings

While improving the sound insulation effect of the walls, some other properties of the walls must also be attended to at the same time, such as whether the strength of the new acoustic ceiling insulation after renovation meets the requirements. If you wish to hang heavier objects on the acoustic ceiling, you need the wall panels to have a certain strength and be able to withstand a certain weight. If there is a large number of people in the room or a large flow of people, the Acoustic Ceiling needs to be impact resistant and strong. If the Acoustic Ceiling is close to wet areas such as taps and toilets, it needs to be waterproof. If the acoustic ceiling needs to be highly fire resistant (e.g. walls and ceilings in kitchens and garages, etc.), you will need acoustic panels that are both acoustic and fire resistant.

If the customer has higher requirements for strength, water resistance, mold resistance, and fire resistance, different acoustic ceiling products and solutions are also available for the customer.

Today, the technology for making acoustic ceiling is well-developed. Moreover, the quality of sound-absorbing ceilings is high and is gradually converging toward the harmonization of international standards. As a result, different customers can choose from a wide range of acoustic ceilings from different suppliers. Whether it is a simple acoustic ceiling or one of the more popular ones, the acoustic ceilingoffered by our company are an ideal choice for our customers.
