Technical Specs

Acoustic drop ceiling tiles or acoustic ceiling panels are used to create a false ceiling where unattractive but necessary building components are exposed, such as air ducts, water pipes, and gas lines. Most drop ceiling tiles are not created for noise reduction or sound absorption beyond their architectural construction, resulting in noisy environments with a typical drop ceiling look. Our solution is Acoustic Drop Ceiling Panels, decorative yet functional sound absorbing ceiling panels that work with a drop ceiling as drop ceiling tiles that provide sound control and echo absorption for naturally loud spaces.

Our Acoustic Drop Ceiling Panels are the perfect panels for acoustically treating your drop ceiling, as they easily slide into an existing drop ceiling tile grid. Additionally, the acoustic ceiling tiles can be used on an existing drywall ceiling by installing eye hooks to drop in from hard drywall or rafters as suspended ceiling clouds. The smooth appearance of the acoustical ceiling tiles make them a pleasing alternative to typical drop ceiling tiles, which are used typically with commercial applications.

Installation

A standard grid you can find in most hardware stores is all you need to slide the acoustic ceiling tiles in, as they are designed to fit exactly. If a grid is not an option, you can use your drywall ceiling or rafters with the tiles as suspended ceiling clouds instead of acoustic ceiling tiles in a drop down grid, by using hooks we will provide if you choose the option “Extras” in the product visualizer.

How to Use the Ceiling Panels

These acoustic ceiling panels are a smart solution in the event you want to add sound dampening instead of soundproofing to your drop ceiling. An acoustical drop ceiling will add noise control to your space but into the appearance of a standard drop ceiling.

Dimensions

These acoustic ceiling panels fit into a standard drop ceiling tile grid in two sizes:

Square: 23.75” x 23.75”

Rectangle: 47.75″ x 23.75”

Absorption

2″ – Broadband range absorption

4″ – Increased low frequency absorption

TEST RESULTS

The tests were carried out in the large reverberation room at the University of Salford (Manchester England). The room has been designed with hard surfaces and non-parallel walls to give long empty room reverberation times with uniform decays. It has the shape of a truncated wedge. In addition, 11 panels, each 1.22m x 2.44m, were hung in the room to improve the diffusivity of the sound field. The test sample was placed in the centre of the floor. The excitation signal comprised wide band random noise played into the room via a loudspeaker system mounted in a cabinet facing a corner. The sound was monitored at each of 5 microphone positions. The room is 7.4m long x ~6.6m wide x 4.5m high.

Please note that no hardware is included in your order unless specified. You can choose to include hooks with your order that will allow you to suspend the tiles from a hard ceiling or rafters. You can select the option in the visualizer under “Extras”

The GIK Difference

There’s a difference between a GIK Acoustics product and all others on the market.

The U.S. Patent & Trademark Office issued utility patent US 9,091,060 for GIK’s unique, proprietary design of its acoustic absorbers. The patent covers the design and construction of GIK Acoustics’ 242 Acoustic Panels, 244 Bass Traps with FlexRange Technology, and Monster Bass Traps with FlexRange Technology.

In addition to our patent, we separate ourselves from other acoustic treatment manufacturers in 6 primary areas

quality

GIK Acoustics products are beyond simple do-it-yourself panels that are found on the market today. We start with only the highest-quality materials that will not sag or leak over time, then we build every panel by hand employing a unique two-frame system.

Unlike other companies who use inexpensive materials, GIK Acoustics panels are crafted with quality insulation material, fabrics and hardwood plywoods. We start with absorptive insulation material that is intended for room acoustics – not cheap mineral wool whose main purpose is to insulate a ship’s engine room.

We then use carefully selected hardwood plywoods – not cheap imports – to construct our frames. The difference and chief advantage is dimensional stability. Crossbanded layers and balanced construction mean that hardwood plywood won’t shrink, swell or warp as much as lumber. To finish our panels we offer an array of fine fabrics – from our standard 9 options to the full line of Guilford of Maine panel fabrics.

GIK Acoustics products are not only Greensafe, but they carry a Class A fire rating which means we continue to provide our clients with the safest most effective products available. The Class A fire rating means that GIK Acoustics treatments have received the highest rating possible under the ASTM E84, a test used by code officials and regulatory agencies in the acceptance of interior finish materials.

Our team of professional builders handcraft each acoustic panel, bass trap and diffusor to exacting standards ensuring the most attractive, effective and dependable products. The difference is our customers are secure in knowing they receive the very best made-to-order acoustic treatments available.

value

Dollar for dollar, GIK Acoustics’ products absorb more sabins (sound) than any other product on the market. We provide our customers the most cost effective solution to make every space sound it’s best.

GIK Acoustics Panels are tested and certified by the Riverbank Acoustical Laboratories (RAL) to provide the most accurate information on the results you can expect when you purchase our products.

Our exceptional cost-to-benefit ratio means our customers do not over-buy or over-treat a room to get results.

Innovation

Over the past 10 years, GIK Acoustics has pioneered a number of acoustic treatments that you can’t find anywhere else. From the Tri-Trap Corner Bass Trap© to our Soffit Bass Trap© to the built in Scatter Plate, GIK continues to innovate.

After a year of research & development, in 2013 we introduced FlexRange Technology – our unique, proprietary system for providing the best in bass trapping and low end absorption.

In 2015 we launched the Alpha Series, a line of acoustic panels and bass traps with a wood face which has a mathematical sequence of slots for one-dimensional scattering / diffusion. The Alpha Series literally changes the face of acoustic panels and bass traps by beautifully combining absorption with diffusion and enhancing any room both aesthetically and acoustically with superior quality, high-performing, and stylish room treatments.

GIK Acoustics is also proud to have launched creative, unique products such as: the multifunctional PIB (Portable Isolation Booth), the decorative and effective Impression Series, and the striking, precise Gotham N23 5″ Quadratic Skyline Diffusor.

We are constantly innovating, so look for more solutions and creative treatments from GIK Acoustics.
