Q: What is CAC?

A: CAC stands for Ceiling Attenuation Class.[!]It is the measure of the blocking of sound through one ceiling plane, into the plenum above, and back through the other ceiling plane to an adjacent space.

Q: What is the minimum NRC recommended for open office plan environments?

A: It is best to use a minimum .70 NRC panel for this type of application.

Q: What does LR stand for?

A: LR stands for Light Reflectance. It is a measure of the percentage of light which is reflected off of a given panel surface. Typically, the whiter and smoother the panel, the higher the LR value.

Q: What is the difference between Class A and Firecode material?

A: Class A signifies that a panel attained a flame spread index of 25 or less (based on 100 for untreated red oak) when tested in accordance with the Standard ASTM E 84. Firecode signifies that a panel has been classified as a protective membrane in a floor-ceiling or roof-ceiling assembly in accordance with the Standard ASTM E 119. All Firecode protective membranes offered by USG have attained a Class A rating.

Q: How many acoustical panel types does USG offer?

A: USG offers four major types of acoustical panels as well as Gypsum based panels for special applications. They are: Wet-Felted, Cast, "X" Fiberglass

Q: What does CLIMAPLUS mean?

A: CLIMAPLUS is USG's term to describe panels that have additional resistance to temperature and humidity. This in turn provides additional resistance to sagging and warping of the ceiling panels.

Q: Which USG Ceiling panel is best to use in a clean room application?

A: USG makes three CLEAN ROOM™ panels for use in these applications. The CLEAN ROOM™ 100, CLEAN ROOM™ 10M and 100M and the SHEETROCK^® Brand Lay-In Ceiling Tile, CLIMAPLUS™ are best for a clean room application.

Q: When referring to ceiling panels, what is the meaning of Type, Form, and Pattern?

A: These categories refer to ASTM Test E 1264. Type refers to the base material of the panel. Form refers to the manufacturing process of the panel. Pattern refers to the type of texture or pattern in the panel.

Q: Why is LR important?

A: When the proper type of lighting fixture is used with a high LR ceiling, there can be savings in both initial construction costs as well as long-term energy costs. The concept is to use the ceiling to reflect light back into the occupied space.

Q: What is NRC?

A: NRC stands for Noise Reduction Coefficient. It is a measure of how much sound is absorbed by a given material. It is listed as a decimal and relates to percentage sound absorbed.

Q: Why is NRC important?

A: NRC is very important in open office plan environments where there are few full height walls to help absorb or block sound.

Q: What is "X" Technology?

A: "X" Technology is a unique manufacturing method with was developed by and introduced to the market by USG in 1989. This technology produces ceiling panels with CLIMAPLUS™ sag resistance and exceptional acoustical performance.
