Encapsulated Acoustical Pads

FIBERGLASS ENCAPSULATED PADS CMA is a leading producer of Fiberglass Pads which are used as the sound absorbing medium behind perforated metal ceiling and wall panels, wood ceilings and metal mesh materials. The acoustical performance of CMA Encapsulated Pads , is dependent upon the open area of the perforated, or slotted panel. Generally a 12% or greater open area will provide maximum sound absorption. Pads have NRC (Noise Reduction Coefficients) between .65 and 1.15 depending on the thickness and density of the encapsu- lated fiberglass and the percentage of open area. Facings most used for this system are clear or black PVC or black Poly. Poly, by its nature, has a high sheen and should not be used behind panels that have a slot or perforation greater than 1/8”. Both facings are designed for interior use only. Polyvinyl Fluoride (PVF) is particularly well suited to exterior applications; is washable, resistant to most chemicals and sol- vents, and is stable through a high range of temperature (-98°F to 225°F). Encapsulated fiberglass pads are avail- able in many different sizes and shapes to accommodate unique designs and applications.
