KINETICS® QuietTile is a composite lay-in noise control ceiling tile system designed to improve speech privacy and reduce sound transmission through suspended ceilings. Suitable for offices, healthcare, schools, commercial interiors, and consultant-led acoustic projects across the UAE, GCC, Middle East, and MENA, QuietTile helps deliver higher ceiling attenuation where conventional ceiling tiles are not enough.
Kinetics Noise Control Inc. Products
KINETICS® QuietTile Noise Control Ceiling Tile Treatment is designed for projects where sound passes through a lay-in ceiling system, especially when interior partitions do not extend to the structural deck. It improves noise control and speech privacy by adding mass and damping to the back of an acoustical ceiling tile selected by the designer.
Composite Ceiling Tile for Sound Transmission Control
QuietTile uses a composite construction that includes gypsum board, a viscoelastic sound damping layer, and a ceiling tile face. Kinetics bonds the damping layer and gypsum board to the back of the selected standard ceiling tile, creating a lay-in ceiling panel designed to reduce sound transmission through the ceiling grid. The ceiling tile face can be selected to match most acoustical ceiling tiles, and the Kinetics standard facing tile is Armstrong Cortega unless otherwise specified.
Designed for Speech Privacy and Ceiling Attenuation
QuietTile is used where conventional ceiling tiles fail to provide the required level of sound control between adjacent rooms. The system provides high CAC ratings of 49–51 and is suitable for improving speech privacy in commercial and institutional environments. CAC, or Ceiling Attenuation Class, measures sound transmission through a ceiling from one room over a partition and into another room.
Flexible Ceiling Grid Compatibility
QuietTile can be designed for 9/16″ narrow reveal grid systems or 15/16″ standard ceiling grids. Tiles are available in nominal 24″ x 24″ and 24″ x 48″ sizes and can be used with regular or tegular edge, fiberglass, or mineral fiber acoustical ceiling tiles. This allows consultants, architects, and contractors to coordinate acoustic performance with the selected ceiling finish and existing ceiling design.
QuietTile LightHood Option
QuietTile LightHood is available for light fixture locations, which can otherwise create a low-mass “noise gap” in the ceiling system. The LightHood lays over the light fixture to help prevent unwanted sound from passing through this weak point. It is designed for flexible installation and field customization, can be cut for electrical wire and aircraft cable routing, and is Class “A” and plenum rated per ASTM E84-20.
Note: For proper sound transmission reduction between partitions and above the ceiling, full room coverage is typically required.
