Sound absorption
When a sound wave meets an object, part of the sound energy is reflected and the other part absorbed. Sound absorption refers to the reduction of sound energy in a room through a sound wave losing energy through component surfaces. Thus, it determines the acoustic well-being of a user in a room as it shortens the reverberation time, reduces the noise level and increases speech intelligibility.
Humidity resistance
Humidity has a significant impact on the stability and structure of a mineral tile. Therefore, rooms regularly submitted to high humidity should be installed with a ceiling tile with a humidity resistance of > 90%.
Light reflection
In addition to their acoustic properties, wall and ceiling tiles also have an impact on light reflection. Materials with high light reflection facilitate the effective use of natural light and artificial lighting and reinforce the effectiveness of indirect lighting.
Sound attenuation
Good sound attenuation counteracts external acoustic influences that are transmitted via adjoining building components – such as ceilings – into neighbouring rooms and is therefore an important contribution to sound protection.
Washability
Wiping with a damp cloth ensures surface cleanliness. In order for surfaces to be clinically clean, they must have the ability to be wet washed. Moreover, the chemical resistance in terms of cleaning, process and disinfection reagents is especially important.
Design
For rooms in which people reside for long periods of time, attention should be given to the design as well as the acoustic performance, in order to create a harmonious and relaxed ambient.
