As a result, we deliver factory-direct pricing, consistent acoustic performance, and fast delivery. Similarly, this applies to all your commercial, healthcare, laboratory, and institutional interior projects.
In addition, we produce these shiplap edge ceiling tiles from high-density fiberglass wool with a resin-bonded core. Meanwhile, they achieve an NRC of 0.90 for superior sound absorption and a CAC of 37dB for sound attenuation between rooms. Therefore, architects and facility managers rely on them for suspended ceiling systems where a seamless, monolithic appearance is required without sacrificing access to the plenum above.

Material & Acoustic Specifications for Shiplap Edge Ceiling Tiles
- To begin with, we use high-density fiberglass wool as the standard core material. The resin-bonded fiberglass wool provides excellent sound absorption for our shiplap edge ceiling panels.
- Moreover, our shiplap edge ceiling tiles achieve an NRC of 0.90, making them a high-performance acoustic solution. A ceiling system with an NRC above 0.70 is considered high performance. CAC of 37dB ensures effective sound attenuation between adjacent rooms.
- Additionally, the Shiplap Concealed Edge design features a unique asymmetrical profile with a hybrid tongue-and-groove and shiplap detail. The shiplap portion conceals the mounting flanges and grid faces, creating a smooth, monolithic ceiling appearance with no visible grid.
- Furthermore, the shiplap interlock allows panels to be easily installed and removed, preserving access to the plenum space above for maintenance and services. This is a critical advantage over fully concealed edge systems that are not demountable.
- For special orders, we supply aluminum foil backing to increase CAC where additional sound attenuation is required.
- Finally, we offer OEM & ODM — we customize tile size, thickness, density, edge type, surface finish, and packaging according to your project specifications.
NRC 0.90 & CAC 37dB — High Performance Acoustic Ceiling Solutions
In fact, NRC (Noise Reduction Coefficient) and CAC (Ceiling Attenuation Class) are the two most important acoustic performance metrics for ceiling tiles. Furthermore, understanding these ratings helps you select the right ceiling panel for your project.
To begin with, NRC 0.90 means our fiberglass ceiling panel absorbs 90% of the sound energy that strikes it. Meanwhile, this makes it ideal for reducing reverberation and echo in open-plan offices, conference rooms, and laboratories. Then, CAC 37dB measures how effectively the ceiling prevents sound from traveling between adjacent rooms. Consequently, a CAC of 37dB provides good speech privacy between spaces. After that, the combination of high NRC and high CAC creates a balanced acoustic environment for speech clarity and privacy.
Therefore, our acoustic fiberglass ceiling panels are the material of choice for architects and acoustic consultants specifying ceiling systems for commercial and institutional buildings.
Key Advantages of Shiplap Concealed Edge Acoustic Ceiling Panels
- First, the material offers NRC 0.90 for superior sound absorption, reducing reverberation and improving speech intelligibility.
- Second, CAC 37dB provides effective sound attenuation between adjacent rooms for speech privacy.
- Third, Class A fire rating ensures the lowest level of flame spread in emergency situations.
- Finally, the Shiplap Edge design hides the ceiling grid for a monolithic appearance while retaining plenum accessibility, combining visual elegance with practical maintenance access.
ASTM E1264 & EN 13964 — Standards Compliance for Ceiling Panels
In addition, our acoustic fiberglass ceiling panels comply with major international standards for ceiling systems. Furthermore, this ensures reliable performance and specification compliance across global projects.
- First, our ceiling panels meet ASTM E1264 for acoustical ceiling products. Materials classification is Type III (mineral fiber/fiberglass).
- Second, they comply with EN 13964 for suspended ceilings. This covers strength, safety, and performance requirements.
- Third, grid installation follows ASTM C636 for metal ceiling suspension systems.
- Fourth, acoustic performance is tested to ASTM C423 (NRC) and EN ISO 11654 (sound absorption).
- Finally, fire performance is tested to ASTM E84 (Class A) and EN 13501-1 (Euroclass A2-s1,d0).

How to Install Shiplap Concealed Edge Acoustic Ceiling Panels
- First, install the suspension grid. Set up the concealed spline or clip-in grid system at the desired ceiling height, per ASTM C636. Ensure the grid is level and properly secured.
- Then, install edge moldings. Attach perimeter trim at the walls to support border tiles.
- Next, install the ceiling panels. The shiplap edge features a hybrid tongue-and-groove and shiplap profile. Engage the tongue-and-groove portion to interlock adjoining panels, while the shiplap portion overlays and conceals the grid face and mounting flanges.
- After that, cut border tiles as needed. Measure and cut edge tiles to fit the perimeter openings.
- Finally, verify the installation. Ensure all panels are properly interlocked and the grid is completely concealed. To access the plenum, individual panels can be lifted or slid out without tools (subject to no penetrations through the panel).
Applications & Industries for Shiplap Concealed Edge Acoustic Ceiling Panels
- For instance, in open-plan offices, our ceiling panels reduce noise and improve speech clarity while maintaining a clean, modern aesthetic with easy access to above-ceiling services.
