Acoustic Backing & Sound Installation

Acoustic backing panels can be 12mm (0.40 NRC) and 25mm (0.60 NRC) and are incorporated into the system for great NRC performance. They also reduce costs as they can replace the need for alternative wall & ceiling lining.

The acoustic panels have a Group 1 (Aus) and Group 1S (NZ)  fire rating and are available in the range of colours shown.

Alternatively, acoustic blanket is recommended for achieving up to 0.95 NRC
