| Safetone Performance Series ceiling panels  CertainTeed is boosting the noise reduction coefficient (NRC), a key measurement for sound absorption, in seven of its Safetone Performance Series mineral fiber and fiberglass ceiling products. The enhanced acoustical properties of the panels offer best-in-class value and support the growing demand for acoustically pleasing interiors, a critical component of green building projects. The NRC was increased to 0.60 in the Baroque, Baroque Customline, Fine Fissured, Fine Fissured Customline, Directional Fissured, Vantage 10 and 0.95 in the Symphony f product lines."CertainTeed is raising the bar on acoustics and providing more features in our Performance Series ceilings products with no additional cost to our customers," says Lisa Santerian, director of marketing for CertainTeed's Ceilings. "These enhanced products are demonstrative of our commitment to serving design and building professionals with innovative acoustical ceiling solutions that contribute to a superior environment for the eye, the ear, and the mind." The mineral fiber ceiling panels, which include the Safetone Baroque, Baroque Customline, Directional Fissured, Fine Fissured, Fine Fissured Customline and Vantage 10, contain up to 45 percent recycled content and are manufactured without added formaldehyde. The panels provide a variety of edge detail options, patterns and sizes and are ideal for retail, offices, education, healthcare and restaurant applications. Symphony f, a fiberglass panel, contains 39 to 45 percent recycled content and is resistant to high temperatures and humidity. The panel is ideal for open plan areas, offices, libraries, galleries, resorts, hospitality and retail applications. All of the panels offer high light reflectance (0.83 to 0.90), which helps create a pleasant, energy-efficient interior environment, with more natural distribution of lighting. The ceiling panels also can contribute points towards the U.S. Green Building Council's (USGBC) LEED accreditation based on the panels' recycled content, acoustical properties, energy performance and the use of regional materials. CertainTeed Ceilings is committed to providing innovative acoustical ceiling and wall solutions that contribute to superior environments for the eye, the ear and the mind. With its Performance Series, Designer Series and Decoustics, CertainTeed provides custom ceiling fabrication as well as a complete range of manufactured panels, walls and suspension systems that meet all key performance requirements.
