Suspended Ceiling Sound Barrier

Improve the sound blocking characteristics of any suspended ceilings using this ceilume soniguard drop ceiling acoustic or thermal insulation.

Suspended ceiling sound barrier.

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. 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. 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. Each panel in this category rates up to 55 nrc noise reduction coefficient which measures the amount of sound a material can absorb.

The ceiling tile consists of a 1 thick 6 pound density fiberglass covered with your choice of facings. Drop ceiling acoustic thermal insulation case of 24 ac sonigrd 96sf the home depot. The sound barrier mat has a sound blocking value of 14db and acts as the name of the tile suggests as a noise stopper. How to soundproof a drop ceiling.

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

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. It works for both lowering sound transmission as well as reducing reverberation. In the case of our ceilings that solid path is in the form of joists or studs. Ceilume soniguard 24 in.

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 decoupling element of soundproofing involves separating the framing in the ceiling to break the sound pathway hence reducing noise. 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.
