PRANCE metalwork is a leading manufacturer of metal ceiling and facade systems.
Integrating acoustic functionality into T Bar ceilings begins with selecting micro-perforated aluminum tiles in hole diameters of 0.8–1.5 mm and open area between 10–20%. These tiles clip into standard 15 mm flange tees. Behind each panel, install a layer of non-woven acoustic fleece or mineral wool (25–50 mm thick) on perforated backing frames. Maintain a plenum depth of at least 100 mm to enhance low-frequency absorption. Use resilient channel clips on hangers to decouple the grid from structural vibrations. Seal perimeter gaps with acoustic sealant to prevent flanking. The combination of perforated surface, acoustic backing, and decoupled grid yields NRC values up to 0.8. By engineering each layer—the T Bar grid, tile perforation, and backing—you create a ceiling that both looks sleek and delivers robust noise control.
