Open Cell Aluminium Ceiling Acoustic Properties \u2014 Absorption Coefficients (125Hz\u20134kHz)

Grid of interlocking aluminium cells (typically 50x50mm to 200x200mm) suspended below services with acoustic pad above. The open structure allows sound to pass through to the absorber while providing a clean geometric ceiling finish.

NRC (Noise Reduction Coefficient)
NRC is the arithmetic average of sound absorption coefficients at 250, 500, 1000, and 2000 Hz, rounded to the nearest 0.05. Open Cell Aluminium Ceiling has an NRC of 0.50.
Reference: ASTM C423 / ISO 354:2003
