Aesthetic noise absorbing ceilings are used to control reverberation of sound in commercial high traffic and public areas like foyers, waiting rooms, restaurants, theatres, shops, cafes, and offices.

The acoustic performance of these ceiling systems is achieved by using AcoustiShield combined with insulation. AcoustiShield is a perforated plasterboard providing high acoustic performance. Together with the protective mat glued to the back of the board, the perforations in AcoustiShield are designed to absorb sound. The higher the rate of perforation, the higher the sound absorption performance and NRC value.

In addition, AcoustiShield allows for design creativity as it is available in three distinct perforated patterns – square, round and rectangular. AcoustiShield can also be installed in noise absorbing wall systems, especially in media rooms.
