Description Decoustics Lay-In ceiling panels consist of a medium density core and an attractive range of finishes. Panels lay into an exposed standard or custom suspension grid and are supported on all edges. For larger panels an intermediate T-bar is employed and secured to clips on the panel backs to reduce panel sag. The entire assembly lays into the exposed grid. In all cases, the ceiling system is 100% accessible. Ceiling perimeter trim options include an exposed wall mold, shadow mold, or T-bar. Panels All Decoustic panels are custom fabricated and offered in a variety of types, sizes, geometric shapes, curves, thicknesses and finishes. Limitations A minimum space of 5" (125 mm) is required behind the panel for installation, and panel removal. Design Considerations When deciding upon panel size(s) to use, consider the practicality of installing, handling and accessing the panels. To prevent premature soiling due to concentrated air movement at panel perimeters (halo effect), a vapor retarder should only be used on panels with "sealed" edges. All lights, diffusers, speakers, smoke detectors, sprinklers, and similar items that penetrate or are located in the ceiling must be independently supported. The panel is not structurally capable of supporting the weight of any of these items. When using speakers in ceiling or wall panels, it is recommended the speaker grille be visibly mounted at the face of the panel. Speaker function creates air movement and any fabric covering the speaker will experience premature soiling. Standards, Tests and Approvals Surface Burning Characteristics (ASTM E-84): All panel components have a Flame Spread rating of less than 25. Note: Building code requirements may necessitate composite panel testing based on specified finish. A panel comprised of “Class A” (Flame Spread of 25 or less) components does not necessarily produce a composite panel meeting the “Class A” requirement. Decoustics has a considerable number of composite panel tests on file. Acoustical Data (ASTM C423: Type E 400 Mounting as per ASTM E795).
