CEILING PANELS
With the introduction of the unique and versatile
Ecophon Master Solo S is a suspended ceiling panel
that combines easy installation and an attractive ap-
pearance. The panels are hung by ceiling wires fastened
to suspension wire anchors, which are easily screwed
in around the center of the panel’s unexposed side.
Ecophon Solo S features painted edges and no profiles
around the panels, enabling it to be poised at a variety
of angles for a true floating ceiling effect with a very
clean, minimalist appearance.
“Ecophon Master Solo S ceiling panels provide arch-
itects with an unlimited variety of options, allowing
them to create stylish environments where acoustics
and lighting contribute to the identity of the room,” says
Lisa Santerian, marketing director for Certain Teed’s Ceil-
ings Division. “An ideal solution for schools, offices, res-
taurants and auditoriums, the panels also offer coveted
sustainable attributes that are in high demand.”
Ecophon Master Solo S is manufactured from high-
density fiberglass and has a high recycled content of 75
percent. The product features Class A sound absorption
and a 0.95 noise reduction coefficient, allowing them
to enhance acoustic control in a space. In addition, the
visible surface of the ceiling panel has an Akutex FT sur-
face finish, which offers 85 percent light reflectivity and
99 percent light diffusion. This helps create a pleasant,
energy-efficient interior environment, with more natu-
ral distribution of lighting. The panels also can be com-
bined with a wide variety of light fixtures that can either
be integrated into or suspended through holes easily
cut into the center of the panels.
