Valley Forge, Pa. — CertainTeed Corporation’s Adagio ceiling panel combines the sound absorption of high-density fiberglass with the sound containment qualities of mineral fiber, the company reports, with a hybrid design that eliminates the need for full-height wall partitions. With a recycled content of 38 to 59 percent, Adagio creates a barrier against the transfer of unwanted noise between rooms. Specifically, a fully encapsulated fiberglass layer provides superior sound absorption (NRC rating of 0.95), and the panel’s mineral backboard offers highly effective sound containment (CAC rating of 38-40). www.certainteed.com.
