Resources

Fine-textured acoustical panel is ideal for projects with limited plenum space: requires about 6" of clear space from the deck.

Key Features

  • 1/4" reveal between acoustical panels results in a monolithic appearance
  • Downward accessible for minimal plenum height
  • Outstanding acoustical performance for open plan areas, both Articulation Class (190) and NRC (0.80-0.90)
  • Smooth, clean durable finish – Washable Scratch-resistant Soil-resistant
  • Energy-saving high light-reflective finish
  • Items with PB suffix are manufactured with a plant-based binder
  • Item 3901 available in Create! printed images and patterns
Special Applications
  • Data Center / Computer Room
  • Library
