Sound absorption no longer has to come at the expense of design. Sound absorption can now compliment your design and help you provide acoustic comfort and a pleasant atmosphere in almost any space. Barrisol® Acoustics technology can be integrated into public spaces such as museums, airports, churches, restaurants or music venues. Any space where occupant comfort is important is an ideal application for Barrisol®.The physics of the sound absorption and the sheeting itself make Barrisol® Acoustics sheets an ideal sound absorption device. Micro-perforations transform the acoustic energy in thermal energy. The viscous friction created when the sound wave meets the air in the micro-perforations is accentuated by the resistance of the air volume enclosed between the material and the ceiling cavity. The technology built into Barrisol® Acoustics sheeting allows it to obtain spectacular acoustic results.The acoustic absorption coefficient of Barrisol® Acoustics depends on four factors: the diameter of the distance between the holes the pattern of micro-perforation the thickness of the sheet the airspace behind the sheet and the ceiling above.These four factors allow a designer to choose the best Barrisol® Acoustics perforation style for their particular application.
