                Acoustical Ceilings

                Acoustics is literally at the center of SAS. The acronym stands for Special Acoustic Services. We are proud of our pioneering and long-standing position as market leaders in acoustically performing metal ceilings.

                Acoustical Knowledge

                SAS achieves superior aesthetics, performance, and delivery through our comprehensive acoustical knowledge, design expertise and technical leadership. We use advanced acoustical modeling techniques and in-house test facilities to develop new products and improve existing ones. In order to provide our clients with expertise and meet their building requirements, SAS offers support from an in-house acoustical specialist.

                The Importance of Acoustics

                The ceiling is such a significant surface in any space and, as a result, can have a huge effect on the acoustics and how they impact people in that space. It is essential that a sound-absorbing product is employed in this area to control reverberance and occupational noise produced. Whether the space is somewhere used for static work like an office or transient use like an entrance hall how sound behaves is critical to making it a positive place to be in. A suspended ceiling is often a suitable solution, though if the thermal mass of the soffit needs to be exposed, rafts or baffles can be employed. In short, getting the acoustics right in any space will have a fundamental impact on the experience of those people using that space. It can affect productivity, well-being, and more.

                SAS Acoustical Products

                SAS products absorb sound using an open-cell porous material faced with a perforated metal sheet. Most ceiling tiles rely entirely on the porous material behind the perforated metal to absorb the sound. Micro-perforated tiles are the exception and can offer sound absorption without a distinct porous backing. In both cases, sound is absorbed because the air particles have to vibrate within a medium that limits this movement. Porous absorbers are most effective when they coincide with air that is vibrating a lot. However, the vibration of air particles is not the same at every frequency or in every location within a room. As such, the effectiveness of a sound absorber is dependent on where it is placed.

                SAS’ clients benefit from our design expertise, manufacturing capabilities, and product quality as well as our specialist acoustic guidance including advice on acceptable levels of acoustical privacy, reverberance, and the acoustical characteristics of various types of spaces.

                The confidence and assurance that SAS delivers are exemplified through the awards and accreditations achieved by the projects we have been involved in.
