Primacoustic

The Primacoustic ThunderTile™ is a unique acoustic T-bar ceiling tile that combines the remarkable absorption characteristics of high density glass wool with the sound-blocking attributes of gypsum board. Once installed, ThunderTiles provide effective control of the reverberant field while eliminating bothersome primary reflections that make communication difficult.

• Dual function composite T-Bar ceiling tile
• Combines absorptive glass wool with gypsum board
• Improves intelligibility by reducing room echo
• Stops sound from entering or exiting room
• Absolute white finish for optimum reflectivity

The design begins with a pure white finish on top of an acoustically transparent micromesh tissue that fully encapsulates the panel. This is bonded to a 3/4" (20mm) layer of 6lb per cubic foot (96 kg/m3) high-density glass wool. Sound waves pass through the tissue into the wool causing the minute glass fibers to vibrate, absorbing sound energy. The acoustic panel is then laminated to a 1/2" (13mm) layer of heavy gypsum board. This adds the extra sound-blocking mass that stops from sound traveling between adjacent rooms through the air space plenum above the panels.

Designed to retrofit into existing T-Bar systems, ThunderTiles are available in both square 24" x 24" (60cm x 60cm) and rectangular 24" x 48" (60cm x 120cm) panel sizes. Choose between a space saving 'trim' edge treatment (in the 24 x 24 and 24 x 48 size panel) for flush-mounting, or the 'reveal' edge (in the 24 x 24 size panel) that drops down below the T-Bar to produce an architecturally sculpted appearance. Panels are finished in Absolute White™ for optimum reflectance and may also be painted to suit.
