KINETICS® QuietTile

Noise Control Ceiling Tile Treatment

Transform any Acoustical Ceiling Tile into a QuietTile

Walls between rooms not go to deck?
Noisy equipment in your plenum space?
Need an easy retrofit to quiet noise from upstairs?

QuietTile starts with your choice of ACT then Kinetics adds sound damped-mass to produce a composite ceiling tile designed to reduce sound transmission through a lay-in ceiling. QuietTile noise control ceilings are installed in normal ceiling grid typically 9/16" (narrow) or 15/16". Tiles are typically 24" x 24" or 24" x 48", custom sizes are available.

Installation

CAC - Ceiling Attenuation Class

Ceiling Attenuation Class (CAC) measures how much sound passes through a ceiling in one room, over a partition, and through the ceiling on the other side.

STC- Sound Transmission Class

STC measures how much airborne sound passes through a material or a composite assembly. STC is calculated after analyzing the amount of Transmission Loss (TL) at individual frequencies measured in decibels (dB). For example, if the test result reported a TL of 30 @125 Hz, one can expect a 100 dB noise produced at 125 Hz to be reduced to 70 dB on the other side of the tested material.

STC is measured using the product itself, or in a wall or floor/ceiling assembly. Rather than testing the tile itself, to best replicate field conditions KNC tested QuietTile as it lays in standard 15/16" ceiling grid. Furthermore, it was tested without an existing deck. An Acoustical Consultant can calculate the overall STC rating for your deck/QuietTile composite or analyze the noise reduction from HVAC equipment installed in the plenum space between the deck and QuietTile.
