Acoustic Performance
Hygena Acoustic tiles provide excellent sound absorption and attenuation.
Key specifications include:
Sound Absorption (NRC): 0.85
Weighted Sound Absorption Coefficient (αw): 0.80 (H) – Class B
Sound Attenuation (Dn,f,w): 28 dB
Ceiling Attenuation Class (CAC): 29 dB
Sound Reduction (Rw): 13 dB
These properties help reduce noise levels, enhance privacy, and improve acoustic comfort in healthcare or industrial settings
Light Reflectance and Cleanability
- The tiles offer high light reflectance (87%), contributing to bright and energy-efficient interiors Knauf
- They can withstand intensive cleaning, including dry, damp, and conditions requiring disinfectants or steam, which makes them suitable for areas with strict hygiene standards
Applications
Hygena Acoustic tiles are particularly suitable for environments requiring high levels of hygiene, sound control, and light efficiency, including:
- Healthcare facilities: Operating theatres, ICU, burns units, special care baby units [Zone 4 compliance]
Laboratories and clean rooms: ISO 4 environments
- Food processing and industrial facilities
- Educational and office settings requiring good acoustics and antimicrobial surfaces
