SPECTRA M-S

Radiant metal ceiling sail

The SPECTRA M-S radiant ceiling sail is a climate ceiling system with very high heating and cooling capacity and superior sound absorption values. The magnetic connection between the activation register and the ceiling panel enables parallel prefabrication and separate delivery of both components to the construction site, where they are assembled.

The SPECTRA M register is suitable for retrofitting buildings where existing metal ceilings are to be thermally activated later. Furthermore, the registers can be fixed and hydraulically connected independently of the ceiling panels. This means that the heating and cooling technology can be installed and commissioned before the ceiling surface is completed. The registers can also be used in advance for temporary construction heating.

To support acoustic effectiveness, an acoustic fleece is applied to the rear side of the ceiling panels. In areas with higher acoustic requirements, insulation strips can also be inserted at the sides of the register.

The design of the SPECTRA M register enables the individual components to be separated by material type. At the end of their service life, the materials can therefore be separated and, depending on the available recycling options, directed to the appropriate recovery routes.

Basis for assessment

Cooling capacity

The cooling capacity corresponds to the amount of energy per second removed from the room via heat radiation and convection. It is determined in accredited climate laboratories in accordance with SN EN 14240.

For comparison: the heat emitted by a person in an office via radiation and convection is approx. 70 – 80 W; the heat emitted by a laptop is approx. 20 – 50 W.

Heating capacity

The heating capacity corresponds to the energy per second added to the room via heat radiation and convection. It is determined in accredited climate laboratories in accordance with SN EN 14037.

For comparison: The heat output of a person in an office via radiation and convection is approx. 70 – 80 W, whilst that of a laptop is approx. 20 – 50 W.

Sound absorption

As the largest unobstructed surface in a room, the ceiling is particularly well suited to sound absorption. The sound absorption class is determined in accordance with EN ISO 11654, based on measurements carried out in accordance with EN ISO 354 in accredited laboratories.

It serves as a parameter for acoustic designers to calculate the effect of a product on a room’s reverberation time.

Carbon footprint

The carbon footprint describes the greenhouse gas emissions associated with a product. These emissions are expressed as CO₂ equivalents. The life cycle stages considered are specified in the respective Environmental Product Declaration and its defined system boundaries.

An Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) transparently presents various environmental impacts of a product based on a life cycle assessment. The calculation is carried out in accordance with the standards and methodological requirements specified in the EPD. Where stated, the EPD is verified by an independent third party.
