| Newly expanded line of Symphony ceiling panels  CertainTeed Ceilings has expanded its line of Symphony ceiling panels to include 17 additional sizes in various trim choices for a total of 85 new design options. The new panels are available in both imperial and metric sizes, providing architects and designers even more freedom to specify high-performance ceiling systems that complement any space. In addition to the new sizes, all Symphony mineral fiber and fiberglass ceilings panels now feature a low-VOC formulation and enhanced Overtone finish that contribute to sustainable, healthy indoor environments and offer a brighter, more monolithic appearance."Indoor air quality continues to be a key area of focus when designing tomorrow's schools, hospitals and office buildings, and reducing or eliminating VOCs such as formaldehyde is a key strategy for creating healthy indoor environments," said Dawn Chittick, director of marketing for CertainTeed Ceilings. "By updating the entire Symphony line, CertainTeed has ensured that customers can have superior acoustical performance and healthy indoor air." Symphony f fiberglass ceiling panels have been third-party tested for VOCs and certified compliant by Berkeley Labs. The panels also meet current California Department of Public Health protocols for formaldehyde. Symphony f offers exceptional durability, a luxurious and smooth textured surface and superior sound absorption, which is perfect for enhanced speech privacy and worker productivity in open plan environments. It also offers outstanding light reflectance, humidity resistance, and contains 39 to 43 percent recycled content. Also part of the Symphony product family, Symphony m is a mineral fiber ceiling panel providing superior acoustical performance and light reflectance. Symphony m panels are also extremely cleanable, exceed Facilities Guidelines Institute (FGI) guidelines for most healthcare applications and are certified for cleanroom design to ISO Class 4. The panels contain 72 percent recycled content. Symphony g is comprised of a gypsum core with a reinforced mat face, offering a monolithic appearance, high light reflectance and a high CAC that controls unwanted noise between adjoining spaces through the plenum. write your comments about the article :: © 2012 Construction News :: home page |
