Ceiling Tile Covers

Noise barrier ceiling tile covers can reduce common mechanical noise problems.  Install them over an existing suspended ceiling tile system to offer speech privacy between offices or to keep factory noise out of office areas.

Features:

  • Die cut to fit over standard T-grid systems
  • Easy installation; just lay on top of each tile or light fixture  

Options:

  • Choose a thickness to suit your acoustical needs
  • Oversized light fixture covers have corner slits to conform to the shape of convex lights

Applications

Noise Barrier Ceiling Tile Covers effectively block sound transmission through ceiling tile systems. They combine a limp barrier layer with an absorber / decoupler to achieve much greater isolation than would be achieved with a layer of insulation alone.

Decibel Examples

When trying to enclose a piece a machinery, most people will know they want it "quieter," but can't put into acoustical terms the end result (or decibel reduction) they want to achieve. With our audio examples, you can actually hear the decibel differences compared to static pink noise.

Decibel Icon

Pink Noise

An example of a randomized static pink noise. Pink noise uses deeper sounds and lower sound waves.

Decibel Icon

3 dB

Just perceptible. 3dB reduction has a 18% reduction in the perceived volume and yet is just barely perceptible to the human ear.

Decibel Icon

6 dB

Noticeable. 6dB reduction has a 34% reduction in the perceived volume and is very noticeable to the human ear.

Decibel Icon

10 dB

Double/Halving. 10dB reduction has a 50% reduction in the perceived volume and sounds half as loud to the human ear.

Decibel Icon

20 dB

Much more/less. 20dB reduction has a 75% reduction in the perceived volume and most noticeable to the human ear.
