Sound Deadening Suspended Ceiling

Each panel in this category rates up to 55 nrc noise reduction coefficient which measures the amount of sound a material can absorb.

Sound deadening suspended ceiling. This is easier during the construction or renovation phase but can be accomplished without a large budget as an add on.
