ABSORPTION PANELS
Noise reduction. Transmission loss. Fire resistance.

ABSORPTION PANELS.
DuraSystems Absorption Panels consist of one backing layer of DuraSteel, 4 insulation, followed by one facing layer of perforated sheet metal. This innovative design translates into an acoustical wall system that can provide a Noise Reduction Coefficient (NRC) of 1.05 as well as a Sound Transmission Class (STC) of 45. DuraSystems Absorption Panels are unique in the industry. By incorporating DuraSteel as the backing layer of the Absorption Panel, engineers can achieve the same fire resistance benefits that one can expect from DuraSystems extensive line of passive fire protection systems. Along with excellent acoustical properties, DuraSystems Absorption Panels provide up to 6 hours fire resistance, for that added sense of security.

ACOUSTICAL DATA.
Noise reduction is the ability of a material to absorb sound. The greater the Noise Reduction Coefficient (NRC), the more sound is absorbed, the quieter your space will be. Octave Band, Hz 4 Absorption Panel, AP4 125 0.66 250 1.07 500 1.10 1000 1.02 2000 0.96 4000 0.92 NRC 1.05

Transmission loss is the ability of a material to block sound. Sound Transmission Class (STC) is a single number rating used to define a materials transmission loss properties. Transmission loss values are in decibel (dB) and STC values provide an easy way to compare how much sound is blocked out by various wall types.

SILENCE NOISE ISSUES, ONCE AND FOR ALL.

DuraSystems Absorption Panels is recommended for use where sound is critical. Noise problems can lead to serious implications which can be prevented by proper acoustical and mechanical design. DuraSystems Absorption Panels are unique in that it incorporates the distinctive DuraSteel material into its design. This entails that all the fire, impact, blast and moisture resistant properties that are inherent in DuraSteel apply to the Absorption Panels as well. Truly one-of-a-kind, providing an STC rating of 45, the DuraSystems Absorption Panels were designed to give you a peace of mind. Silence noise issues, once and for all, with DuraSystems Absorption Panels.
