acoustic
Suspended ceilings play a critical role in the acoustic performance of a space.
Poorly managed sound reflections can distort speech and increase perceived noise levels, creating discomfort for occupants. vektron acoustic ceiling solutions are engineered to address these challenges by combining sound-absorbing materials, precision perforations, and optional acoustic enhancements—delivering superior comfort and clarity.
Why acoustic design matters
Perceived sound level and acoustic comfort depend on two factors:
- Sound reflection on room surfaces
- Sound containment between adjacent spaces
Uncontrolled reflections create unwanted reverberations, while inadequate containment allows noise to travel between rooms. Vektron ceilings solve both problems through sound absorption and sound attenuation.
Sound absorption: minimize reflections
Sound absorption reduces echo and reverberation by allowing sound waves to pass through perforated panels and dissipate in acoustic materials.
Key facts:
- Absorption coefficient (αW): Measures fraction of absorbed sound (0.0 = no absorption, 1.0 = full absorption)
- Tested according to EN20354:2003 and EN11654:1997
- vektron ceilings achieve αW values from 0.45 to 1.00, depending on configuration
Options for enhanced performance:
- Standard acoustic fleece
- Shrink-wrapped mineral wool inlay for maximum absorption
- Perforation types: Standard perforation, full-perforation fields
Performance range:
- 0.45 αW: Standard perforation + acoustic fleece
- Up to 1.00 αW: Full perforation + sealed mineral wool inlay
Sound attenuation: control noise between rooms
Modular walls often stop at the suspended ceiling, making room-to-room sound isolation a challenge. vektron ceilings provide high attenuation to maintain privacy and comfort.
Key facts:
- Measured according to EN20140-9 and EN150717/1
- Expressed as Dn,c,w in dB
- Vektron ceilings achieve up to 47 dB attenuation
Options for enhanced performance:
- Standard acoustic fleece
- Sealed mineral wool inlay
- Optional gypsum inlay (9.5/12.5 mm)
