Functional demands
The physical requirements of buildings and the demands put on them span many technical areas and can differ considerably from one environment to another as well as between various applications. To make buildings function as intended, with user-friendly environments, high demands are placed on the building materials and technical solutions used. The functional demands placed on ceilings are often considerable. Properties and performance must conform to building standards, regulations and individual specifications, which take into consideration both present and future activities in the premises.
Acoustics

factors, thus influencing sound absorption, reflection, propagation and diffusion in order to support a certain type of function or activity. In many of the commonly occurring types of rooms, a sound-absorbing ceiling is a practical aid for achieving Room Acoustic Comfort™. The ceiling’s sound-absorbing properties are described in sound absorption classes (A-E) in an international standard (EN ISO 116 54). Class A is the highest level of sound absorption. A majority of the Ecophon systems meet the highest class, Class A. The corresponding NRC/SAA value, according to ASTM C 423, is between 0.85 and 1.0. The maximum value that can be achieved is 1.0.
Frequency Hz
7.
The absorption classes are designated A-E, where absorpt
ion class A has the highest sound absorption. A specified overall dept of system (o.d.s) must always be stated for a given absorption class. A high Articulation Class (AC) gives some privacy, a lower AC means lower privacy. Ecophon recomend a minimum AC of 180.
VERTICAL DIMENSIONS
Accessibility
An important function of a suspended ceiling is to conceal installations in the ceiling void. In order to have easy access to the installations, e.g. for service, it is a great advantage if the ceiling tiles are demountable.
Δ = Minimum overall depth of system ʴ = Minimum depth for demountability
The edge design of the tiles and the installation method give different degrees of demountability. Most Ecophon systems, even those with concealed suspensions, are fully demountable.
Cleanability
For a long lasting ceiling with economical maintenance the visible surface should be dirt and dust repellent and easy to keep clean. Ecophon tiles with Akutex T and Akutex FT are a good choice as they h
ave a coating that prevents dust and dirt from adhering and also are designed to withstand cleaning if necessary.

Light efficiency
Lighting has a major impact to the overall look and feel of a room. A key factor is how the ceiling reflects and spreads the light. It should not cause glare or irritating reflections. A white Ecophon ceiling with Akutex T surface reflects 84% of the incident light and 99% of the reflection is diffuse. The corresponding figures for Akutex FT are 85% and 99% respectively. The Akutex FT surface has another important property; an optimum retro reflection coefficient. This means that it has the same appearance whether if the light comes from the same or the opposite direction in relation to the observer, when looking at the ceiling surface.

Influence of climate
The core material of Ecophon ceiling tiles is water repellent glass wo
ol. The absorption of moisture from the air is negligible, most Ecophon ceiling panels, withstand a relative humidity of 95% at 30 °C without warping, deflecting or delaminating. For any building material constantly exposed to hot and humid conditions there is a risk of mould growth, so adequate cleaning regimes must be considered.
Environmental influence
Almost 80% of the basic material in Ecophon ceiling tiles consists of recovered household glass and recycled glass wool. Most Ecophon products satisfy the Nordic Swan Environmental labelling criteria (The Swan). This standard covers the external and internal environmental impact of a product from raw material to recycling/deposit.
Nordic Swan Environmental labelling criteria: • Recycling • Transportation • Ergonomics • Life-Span
5
Indoor climate
The indoor environment has a major impact on people’s health. Building materials that release particles and chemical emissions should be avoided. Most Ecophon products are ce
rtified by the Indoor Climate Labelling (DIM) and the Building Material Emission Clasification M1 and pass the highest requirements. They are also recommended by the Swedish Asthma and Allergy Association.
Fire Safety
The fire safety demands on suspended ceilings can vary depending on
80oC
both the type of room and building where they are installed. However, two general performance requirements are always crucial: • Ceilings should have a negligible contribution to fire and smoke development
In a burning building the circumstances can quickly become such that there is imminent risk of personal injury. Within the parameters of safe evacuation, consideration must be given to fire gases, visibility, heat radiation and temperature. E.g. in order to evacuate safely, the air temperature in rooms through which people are escaping should not exceed approx. 80°C.
• Ceilings should not collapse during the early stages of the fire when evacuation and rescue operations still can be c
arried out All Ecophon ceiling systems fulfil these demands.

Mechanical properties embrace load bearing capacity and impact resistance. The tiles and grid of a ceiling system are subjected to different loads. All of these possible loads must be considered during the process of planning and designing a ceiling. The ceiling tiles can only take small loads, such as the load from a small spotlight.
Installation
ceiling is designed for.
The structure of glass wool is such that the ceiling tiles have excellent mechanical properties relative to their weight. This means that the tiles are stable and can withstand handling, but are nonetheless pliable and very easy to work with. An ordinary craft knife is used for cutting perimeter tiles and holes for installations, pipe-works and cables. Installation guides can be down loaded from the Ecophon home page www.ecophon.com.
• Inst
all the ceiling late in the building process to avoid soiling. • Always use clean cotton gloves when handling ceiling panels.

Ecophon Focus™
Unique additional systems
Basen Rozana, Warsaw, Poland
The Ecophon Focus range provides a number of additional systems that present new design and functional possibilities to enhance or complete the acoustic ceiling. Focus 3-Dimensional ceilings Ecophon Focus™ S-line, Focus™ Quadro, Focus™ L-line and Focus™ Flexiform curved ceiling panels enable you to vary the heights of different parts of the ceiling. They provide an easy way to adapt the ceiling to installations and the structural features that are inherent to the building. Raising and lowering the ceiling in this way can produce an innovative and exciting ceiling design.
Ecophon Focus™ frieze The sound absorbers in th
e ceiling perimeter are extremely important as in that they absorb both the sounds coming directly from the sound source and those reflected from the upper part of the walls. The Focus frieze system is used to create a smooth interface between the wall and the suspended ceiling without any visible wall-trims.

Ecophon Master™
When acoustics are vital
Walkenried Kindergarten, Walkenried, Germany Architect: Probst, Herzberg am Harz Photographer: Åke E:son Lindman
When information is being communicated to an audience it is very important that the speaker can be heard clearly. Developed for classrooms and open-plan offices If you are looking for a ceiling that promote
s speech intelligibility, tests have shown that Master/alpha is in a class of its own. It has excellent sound absorption for frequencies above 250 Hz and also provides high absorption for low frequencies. Therefore, Ecophon Master/alpha is particularly well suited for rooms where maximum absorption throughout the frequency range is desirable, such as classrooms and open-plan offices. It is also ideal in areas where there is low-frequency disturbance from ventilation systems or external sources such as traffic noise.
Ecophon Master™ variations for different situations All Ecophon Master systems are available with three different sound absorption characteristics, which can be used separately or in combination depending on the room type.
alpha - the surface that produces the highest sound absorption - class A - used for wall-to-wall ceilings in open-plan offices, lecture rooms and conference halls with floor areas up to about 100 m², possibly combined with Master gamma. beta - suitabl
e for installation as a full ceiling in music rooms with floor areas up to 100 m². Due to its reduced high-frequency sound absorption - class C - it offers greater tone richness. gamma - has a sound absorption capacity for low frequencies only and is otherwise a sound reflector - sound absorption class E. Master gamma can be used with Master alpha in lecture halls with floor areas of more than 100 m². It can also be used to give fast feedback to the speaker. extra bass - is a complement to Master/Alpha when increased sound absorption is required, especially in the low frequencies. It is very important for people with a hearing impairment.

Ecophon Combison™
Sound insulation plus sound absorbtion
JM Stockholm, Sweden Architect: FFNS Arkitekter AB Photographer: Åke E:son Lindman
Many modern buildings are designed in such a way that they are easily adaptable to the needs of different people. Room divisions are flexible, installations are movable and interior fittings, walls and ceilings are easy to modify. Moveable partitions can either butt up against the suspended ceiling or break through it. In both cases sound can pass from room to room through the ceiling void.
Other applications where Ecophon Combison™ is an appropriate solution are: - Sound insulation against noise from installations in the void between the structural soffit and the suspended ceiling. - Airborne sound insulation between floors. - Impact sound insulation (such as footstep sound) between floors.

Ecophon Access™
For full accessability
Kungliga Husgerad
Modern establishments are being built to suit the needs of many different people. The ceiling void is often used to accommodate a range of services, such as ventilation and other climate equipment, electrical wiring, cabling for computers, alarms and communication systems. Therefore easy access to these services for maintenance and/or alteration is vital, sometimes even on a daily basis. Ecophon Access™ panels can be lowered fully from both ends and there are no obstructing cross tees. The panels can also be opened fully in long “lanes” for servicing and other work.
Additional system - Ecophon Access frieze for margins The margin of a suspended ceiling is generally used for taking up tolerances, carrying light fittings or as a design feature. In terms of acoustics, sound absorbers in the margins along the walls in a room are
particularly important in preventing undesirable sound reflections.

Ecophon Hygiene™
Good acoustics where hygiene is vital
Szpital Sw Zofii (St. Sophie
Hospital), Warsaw, Poland Architect: Tomasz Mach Photographer: Szymon Polanski
Smooth, glossy and hard materials are traditionally associated with a high degree of cleanability and hygiene. Soft and porous materials are usually needed for efficient sound absorption. With Ecophon Hygiene™ systems we have successfully combined high cleanability properties with good acoustic performance.
Tested and classified for different requirements Different environments require different levels of hygiene. Washability may sometimes be a vital requirement; whereas in other cases, the number of particles in the air is particularly important. In certain areas the absorbers must be able to withstand chemical disinfection; in other areas the ambient humidity may be constantly high. The Ecophon Hygiene range includes systems that are tested and certified to suit such environments. Examples include: institutional kitchens, food processing industries, abattoirs, laboratories, breweries, chemical engineer
ing, pharmaceutical manufacture, hospitals, operating theatres, high tech production plants and more.
