By Healthcare Facilities Today


CertainTeed Ceilings has introduced the Ecophon® Wall Panel™ for sound absorption in interior spaces where traditional suspended ceiling systems cannot be used — such as healthcare facilities.  

The panel is comprised of a high-density glass wool core, which provides Class A sound absorption according to ISO 11654. It is available in two finishes — Texona and Super G. 

The Texona fabric finish comes in 16 different color options, while the Super G fabric comes in three — White, Grey and Green. The Super G also features a glass fiber laminate designed for durability in high-traffic environments. 

The panel is available in one size (approximately 24-inch x 106-inch x 1.5-inch) and has beveled edges on the long sides creating a narrow groove between panels when installed. Both panel options use an aluminum channel trim that creates a frame around the wall panels.
