Clip Summary
Bob meets with Joe Adams and Ralph McGrath in the media room of the Elm Court. Adams and McGrath are installing a sound-attenuating grid-ceiling system from Owens-Corning.A standard T-bar steel framing system used commonly in drop ceilings is being used here as the substructure for the engineered panels. The panels anchor to the grid with carbonized steel expansion clips. The solid and perforated wood panels allow the sound to be absorbed through the ceiling and into the black acoustic board that's adhered to the ceiling.
QuietZone systems control sound waves in four ways: they absorb, block, break, and isolate. By managing the energy of the sound wave, Owens-Corning redefines ambient noise. The panels can be ordered in natural materials like Walnut or other fine woods.
