Achieving visual and acoustic effects through perforation
Metal ceilings and metal wall claddings can be perforated for visual and acoustic purposes. Depending on your project, round, angled or slot-shaped apertures can be selected in various configurations and in a range of different sizes. This makes it possible to create a vast array of different looks.
A key benefit of perforations is the improvement to room acoustics. Sound passes through the perforation holes into the absorption material behind the metal ceiling or metal wall cladding (e.g. acoustic fleece, mineral wool or foam) where it is then absorbed. Speakers or ventilation systems can also use the free cross section of these perforation holes.
