Key Features & Performance

  • Blades are reinforced at the top for enhanced structural integrity, and come in 12 new standard neutral colors
  • Standard 10' long blade option allows for better linear runs, minimizing seams in large installations
  • Soft visual, more quieting acoustics
  • Sound absorption up to 0.85 NRC dependent on blade depth and spacing
  • Pair with CALLA to get total noise control and design flexibility with TOTAL ACOUSTICS ceiling panels: NRC + CAC = Total Acoustics
  • Embedded threaded connectors for installation versatility including cable-to-deck independent suspension, threaded rod, and direct to 15/16" grid
  • CLEANASSURE family of products – includes disinfectable panels, suspension systems, and trim
  • Great retrofit solution
  • Made from 60% pre-consumer recycled PET fibers
  • 3/8" thick blades provide a sleek linear visual
  • ASTM E84 Class A Fire Performance
  • Part of the SUSTAIN portfolio, and meet the most stringent industry sustainability compliance standards today
  • Mix standard lengths and depths for dynamic visuals
  • Independent suspension now allows for sloped installations

Acoustics
Sound Absorption (NRC)

A measure for rating the overall sound absorption of a material when used in an enclosed architectural space where sound is reflected at many angles of incidence. A ceiling system with an NRC < 0.50 is low performance, an NRC > 0.70 is high performance.

Light Reflectance

A high light reflective ceiling – LR 0.83 or greater, per ASTM E1477-98 as referred to in ASTM E1264-98 – makes lighting systems, especially indirect lighting, more effective while further reducing energy costs and consumption. LR values apply to White panels only.
