Acoustical Ceiling Solution
Hunter Douglas Contract has developed a new acoustical ceiling solution, the Echelon Frame and Panel System, which combines ease of access to building services with a sophisticated look for ceiling planes. The new system features the thinnest visible grid in the market in combination with the largest selection of mass customizable acoustical ceiling surfaces. Fine extruded lines frame each panel surface and an integrated linear fixture creates a very refined look for the ceiling. In addition, the acoustical panel surfaces carry a noise reduction coefficient (NRC) of 0.85 and are up to 4 inches by 4 inches in size. The panels are available in white, but can also be mass customized in any color or textured print, such as woods and leathers. Environmentally, the Echelon System’s formaldehyde-free acoustical panels use 50 percent less material resources than traditional acoustical ceiling tiles and consists of 30% recycled content. The aluminum extrusions of the system are treated in an environmentally friendly anodizing process and the surface colors and prints are applied through a sublimation technology that uses only a fraction of ink with no solvents or water.
