Saros acoustic stretch ceilings featuring new micro-perforated materials are easy to manufacture and make a simple way to create acoustic comfort in a room maintaining the visual appeal of the room characteristic. This acoustic stretch ceiling technology provides excellent noise absorption properties and offers the possibility to save yourself from annoying noise at minimum expense.
How does it work? Micro-perforated holes in the SAROS DESIGN acoustic stretch ceiling partially absorb sound waves that emanate from a sound source located in a room. The air in the micro-perforations obstructs the initial sound, partially converting the sound waves into thermal energy and reducing their intensity. In addition, there is obstruction from the air between the micro-perforated panels and the back wall. As reflected sound waves continue to reverberate around the room, acoustic absorption continues and the reverberation time in the space is reduced. Acoustical Investigation & Research Organization LTD (London), a UKAS-accredited testing laboratory, has tested micro-perforated stretch ceilings. According to issued Certificate No. L/3220, these ceilings (with no acoustic panel) have been assigned absorption class D. Sometimes, in case of high noise pollution on-premises, an acoustic ceiling can be installed together with sound-proofing mineral wool plates. The sound-absorbing plates shall be attached to the load-bearing ceiling using individual tracks. This method ensures noise protection of the highest standard. Using both sound-absorbing materials and acoustic stretch ceilings at the same time improves the ceiling sound absorption class (up to the class A – maximum absorption).
