Exposed structure spaces with no ceiling can create acoustical problems – noise distractions can make the modern workplace less effective and less productive, inhibit students’ ability to learn, and cause dissatisfaction among restaurant clientele struggling to hear and be heard. Attach treatments to decks and hide them or bring sound-absorbing design into the space. Achieve the best of both worlds – optimized experiences in the workplace, educational facilities, and hospitality venues – with the right look and less noise in your open ceiling space
