Benefits of mineral fibre ceiling

1. Insulation

The thermal insulation of Mineral ceiling tiles is more than six times that of gypsum board, which contributes to maintaining room comfort and results in savings in terms of cooling and heating costs. The K-value of is 0.045 and the thickness is 15mm, therefore the R-value is 0.333. This R-value of 0.333 can be added to the thermal insulation R-value requirement for the area.

2. Acoustics (NRC)

Thanks to the tiles' high noise reduction coefficient (NRC), 55% to 60% of sound is absorbed within the room and the reverberation time of soundwaves are reduced, making a pleasant office environment.

3. Acoustics (CAC)

In addition to the good absorption ,has a high ceiling attenuation coefficient (CAC) of 36 decibels which equates to less sound transfer from room to room. Together these acoustic qualities make it easy to create comfortable interior spaces.

4. Fire resistance

The Mineral fiber ceiling tiles are also non-combustible and do not emit toxic gas or smoke, melt, break or become deformed under normal fire conditions, thereby protecting ceiling areas from fire.

5. Humidity

It further boasts a high RH99 relative humidity resistance rating for projects that require the highest demands and a fast-track building program.

6. 10 year guarantee

Guarantees Ceiling tiles for ten years against visible sagging in temperatures up to 50°C and conditions where relative humidity reaches as much as 99%. This means that also be used in areas without air-conditioning.

7. Competitive pricing

"At present, Mineral Ceiling Tiles is the only acoustic mineral fiber ceiling tile in the competitive price band that can boast these exceptionally high humidity resistance qualities," Gould points out.

8. Aesthetics: homogenous look

Mineral ceiling tiles come in four unique face patterns: New NDF (non-directional fissure), Constellation and Venus Perforated, which are suited to a wide variety of commercial applications.

9. Green product

Mineral ceiling tiles is sustainable and environmentally-friendly since uses 76% recycled material in its manufacturing process and holds the Good Environmental Choice Australia ecolabel.

"These facts provide owners and developers who are environmentally conscious with a building component that conforms to the highest modern standards. One has to take one's hat off to the Japanese for their incredible technical expertise," states Gould.

10. Easy to use

"Although specified for its excellent noise reduction, thermal insulation properties and outstanding fire resistance, it is the ease of handling and durability of the Daiken range of mineral-fiber ceiling tiles that makes it one of the ceiling contractors' favorite commodity panels," Gould concludes.
