The choice for a specific ceiling has strong influence on the acoustic properties of space. It is fundamental to the planner to take sound behaviour and function of space into account while defining the most appropriate ceiling. The noise level in an area is determined by the source and reflection of sound on walls, floors and ceilings. Sometimes these reflections are desired in cases in which, for example, speech intelligibility must overcome large distances. Most likely though, reflections can be inconvenient because high noise nuisance may arise and disturb privacy.
Two are the properties to be considered in the design of suspended ceilings: sound absorption and sound attenuation (longitudinal noise). Through its varied range of ceiling tiles with different acoustic properties, Kreon can respond appropriately to any acoustic demand.
