Key contribution
Ecophon offers a wide range of products with αW values of 0.9. In the WELL standard this is regarded as equivalent to an NRC value of 0.9, meaning these products comply with the toughest requirements in Part 1-3 of the Sound Reducing Surfaces feature.
Aim
To reduce sound reverberation and maintain comfortable sound levels though absorptive ceiling and wall surfaces.
