A Case for Suspended Ceiling Technologies
A simple building product could play an important role in reducing the spread of COVID-19 & airborne pathogens.
Encompass Health Rehabilitation Hospital
Negative pressure isolation room eliminates pressure variability with AirAssure Ceiling Panels.
Ceilings Designed to Improve Airflow and Air Quality
Utilize suspended ceiling technologies in combination with improved filtration for a more effective solution.
IMPROVED Indoor AIR QUALITY
Concerned with indoor air quality, or containment of viruses and germs?
“In most buildings, the ceiling grid and panels are effectively part of the supply and return air ducting. Investing in a gasketed suspended ceiling where there are concerns about recirculation of contaminated air should be considered. This potentially helps any effort to filter the air,” said Rives Taylor, Principal and Director of Design Resilience, Gensler.
