Most acoustical products perform best athigher frequencies. We believe it's importantto excel throughout the entire frequencyspectrum. That's why we focus on the SAAin addition to the NRC. Techstyle® panels’honeycomb design absorbs both high andlow frequencies at an impressive level,providing superior acoustical performance,no matter the frequency.

Sound Absorption Average (SAA) is calculated over a wide range of frequencies from 100Hz to 500Hz. Thisbroad band average is a more accurate measure of the total sound absorption characteristics of the ceiling panel.
