Ecophon tiles use glass wool as a sound absorbing material, compared to traditional mineral fibre tiles, they are also environmentally safe, have a bright white finish and have good light reflectance. RCT carries the Ecophon Advantage series, available with square, tegular and microlook edges in two standard sizes. This guide outlines the details of the product, its performance, and its placement, assisting you in identifying the most suitable space for it.
The Ecophon Advantage range
Ecophon Advantage is an acoustic tile made of glass wool with a white painted front. RCT has this product with three edges and in two sizes:
Performance
Advantage offers Ecophon’s core benefit at a lower price with greater durability. glass wool sound absorption exceeds normal mineral fibre. The clean white face with high light reflectance brightens the interior and lessens the need for artificial lighting. Like the rest of Ecophon’s line, it has great durability, is 100% recyclable, has no added formaldehyde, and has very low VOC.
Choosing the right edge detail
The edge detail must match your grid. Square edgeis the most typical option.Tegular edgebrings the tile face beneath the grid line for a stepped recessed appearance. This is also applicable for a 24mm grid.MicrolookThe equivalent stepped edges for more narrow grids like 15mm create finer shadow lines which are more desirable in higher spec interiors. When changing tiles, ensure the edge aligns with the grid you have.
Applications
Ecophon Advantage has been developed specifically for commercial environments where acoustic wellbeing is of utmost importance. These include open-plan and cellular offices, meeting rooms, classrooms and any other areas where the control of reverberation is critical to the function of the room. The bright white surface is light reflective and assists in lightening the space while suiting a more professional and modern environment.
Matching tile to project
For areas such as offices or meeting rooms with high acoustic requirements, specify Ecophon Advantage with edge detail the same as your grid. In general budget lighting areas or back of house areas, a standard mineral fibre tile is cheaper. When replacing tiles in an existing Ecophon ceiling, ensure you match the range, size, and edge detail — if you do not know what type of Ecophon tile you have, RCT can verify this from a photo of the face and edge along with some measurements.
