Acoustical design for open spaces with creative alternatives to suspended ceilings
July 22, 2019
Creative freedom and acoustic control – no grid required
The design opportunities presented by modern open spaces create a unique set of challenges when it comes to acoustics. Influences as diverse as the creative reuse of factories to the benefits of daylighting have contributed to the popularity of open plenums, exposed structures and the use of glass, wood, metal, polished concrete and other acoustically reflective materials.
A wall-to-wall suspended ceiling may be the most effective acoustic solution, but it’s not always an option — for structural reasons as well as design preferences. In adaptive reuse or renovation situations, acoustic solutions often have to accommodate existing HVAC ductwork, plumbing and fire protection systems.
When design dreams and structural realities demand a creative alternative, CertainTeed Ceilings has the sound-absorbing clouds, baffles, direct-todeck and wall panels you need to elevate your designs with outstanding acoustic control.
And our Technical Services team provides the advice to ensure you get the right ceiling for the space.
