Searching for a ceiling tile product that improves speech privacy and reduces noise intrusion through a lay-in ceiling? Does your design require matching existing lay-in tiles?
QuietTile provides a high CAC rating, 49-51, with the finish tile of your choice.
Designer can select from any readily available lay-in ceiling tiles.
Kinetics’ QuietTile uses additional mass and sound damping to produce a composite ceiling tile designed to reduce sound transmission through a lay-in ceiling. QuietTile sound control ceiling is installed in a standard ceiling grid and can be selected to match most acoustical ceiling tiles. Kinetics bonds the composite viscoelastic damping layer and gypsum board to the back of a standard ceiling tile selected by the designer.
QuietTile composite lay-in panel can be designed for a reveal 9/16″ (narrow) grid or 15/16″ standard grid. Tiles are available in nominal 24″ x 24″ and 24″ x 48″ sizes.
Achieve sound control and speech privacy in a lay-in ceiling system where conventional ceiling tiles fail.
