What to consider in your ceiling selection

Ceilings aren’t one-size-fits-all. We guide you through key options and performance factors to help you select the right acoustical system including:
  • Tile sizes, textures, and edge profiles
  • Light reflectance (LR) for energy savings and brightness
  • Acoustical performanceNRC (Noise Reduction Coefficient) that reduces echo within a room
    CAC (Ceiling Attenuation Class) that blocks sound between rooms
  • Ease of cleaning and impact resistance
  • Standard and premium color options
