  • Course Description: CEU Events: How To Specify Seamless Acoustical Ceilings

    CLASSROOM, WEBINAR, STREAMED EVENT, LIVE INSTRUCTOR - 1 HOUR 

    Two major components of indoor environmental quality (IEQ) are aesthetics and acoustics. This course discusses ceiling systems that provide both qualities, leading to better health, safety, and well-being for occupants. It provides a historical exploration of ceiling systems that have evolved to meet occupant needs, incorporating materials that meet safety standards and exceed performance standards for sound absorption and speech intelligibility—all of which ultimately affect how people work, learn, heal, and play in ways that elevate the quality of their lives. In the past, when architects designed ceilings, they contended with the fact that they can achieve either a smooth, monolithic drywall aesthetic or excellent acoustics, but not both. One solution has been acoustical plaster systems, which have excellent acoustics and beautiful aesthetics, but they are expensive. Now, a new acoustical drywall alternative offers a solution for spaces that require acoustics and the look of drywall at a lower cost. This course offers a look at the evolution of seamless ceiling solutions and provides guidance on how new seamless acoustical ceilings benefit occupant health and well-being.
