British Gypsum says it is ‘raising the standard’ in commercial acoustic ceilings for healthcare settings with the launch of a new range of high-performance ceiling tiles.
The Eurocoustic range offers medical and residential care providers Class A sound absorption, A1 reaction to fire, and 30 minutes’ fire resistance – all as standard.
There are five products, all designed to satisfy the sector’s specific performance requirements. Tonga, Minerval, Area, Ermes, and Clini’Safe, are all manufactured to EN 13964:2004, and backed by the company’s Specsure lifetime warranty. The Eurocoustic range offers wipeable, washable, and antibacterial grades supporting regular deep cleaning and sanitisation routines.
“There is a growing understanding within the healthcare sector of how acoustic control can significantly improve patient recovery and well-being,” said John Newbury, senior product manager at British Gypsum. “The fact that these products carry such high performance in terms of acoustics and fire makes them suitable for even the most challenging environments.”
Manufactured from naturally occurring materials, the stone wool tiles are inherently resistant to moisture and fire, dimensionally stable, and are claimed to offer excellent sound absorption.
