Acoustics
Acoustic information
The acoustic performance in an office space, school or public building contributes to our well being as poor acoustic comfort can affect health, communication, safety, productivity and learning. Hunter Douglas high performance acoustic ceiling products are the best solution to deliver outstanding acoustic performance, comfort and an aesthetic pleasing solution. With the Luxalon® Metal Ceilings with curved carriers an absorption value (αw) 0.75 can be obtained, depending on the ceiling and panel configuration. To further increase acoustic absorption, consider the ceiling radius: an increase in material surface quantity can result in up to 55% enhancement of absorption surface.

Sustainability
Health and wellbeing
The Hunter Douglas Architectural range of ceiling products contribute to sustainable buildings through aesthetic solutions that enhance comfort and save energy. Promoting the health and well being of their occupants is arguably the most important function of building. Our shading solutions promote the use of healthy daylight without the hindrances of glare and thermal discomfort. Our acoustic ceilings are a key element in the provision of acoustic comfort.
Sound materials
Reducing the energy use of the total building stock is key to the prevention of global warming. Most modern office buildings use more energy for cooling than heating. Effective management of the solar energy that passes through the transparent part of the façade is a key strategy in the prevention of overheating in both old and new buildings. Our high performance shading solutions bring substantial energy savings, while at the same time promoting health and wellbeing.
