Acoustic Ceiling Trandar Focus F

It's believed that anyone who enjoys events and visiting art galleries will definitely love it.

Inside this gallery, there will be 3 zones dedicated to exhibiting various artists' works for visitors. Each room provides a serene atmosphere, is spacious, allowing ample time to walk around and fully enjoy the artworks.

But with such a huge room and excellent soundproofing, there's a secret tool behind it that many might not know about... and that is the sound-absorbing panels on the ceiling.

Here, they chose to use Trandar's popular acoustic ceiling model, Focus F. It can be installed directly onto C-line frames or overlaid onto gypsum. It's suitable for both new construction and renovations, as it's easy to install without needing to remove the existing ceiling.

Many projects prefer to install over gypsum for speed and convenience, but this gallery is even more impressive because it chose to use Trandar Focus F acoustic ceiling panels with galvanized steel framing, meeting TIS standards. The Heplar Pro C-Line frame is also from Trandar. The contractor for this project, Korranit Construction Company, recognized the importance of the acoustic system.

Because installing it with the C-line frame provides a higher NRC value than installing over gypsum, all three exhibition rooms at this National Gallery will be extremely quiet when you enter. It's truly delightful, free from ambient noise from other visitors.

Because Ecophon Focus F is a sound-absorbing ceiling that hides the T-bar frame, and Focus F sound-absorbing ceiling is a tongue-and-groove installation with a smooth and beautiful surface, providing a high acoustic value of 0.75.

It has high hygiene properties and also a high light diffusion value of up to 99%, ensuring the entire room is evenly lit. No matter where you are, you can happily enjoy the artworks.
