Room comfort with visual attraction

Barcol-Air has developed a simple process for combining its radiant metal ceilings with Archisonic by Impact Acoustic® felt baffles, made from recycled PET. In addition to the added visual effectiveness, the combination solution is also convincing from an acoustic point of view. Because while the strength of the radiant ceilings made of metal lies within the low frequencies, the felt baffles are able to absorb sound primarily in the high-frequency range.

With IMPACT ACOUSTIC®, Barcol-Air has an internationally networked partner at its side who offers acoustic solutions that are beautiful and functional, but also environmentally friendly and proven.

White Paper: Factors which increase the capacity of radiant ceilings – difference between EN 14240 and reality

The European standard EN 14240 defines test conditions and processes to determine the cooling capacity of radiant ceilings or other large cooling surfaces. However, conditions in a real office building are different from those in an EN 14240 test room. This White Paper is intended to show the difference between EN 14240 and reality, and to provide an overview of the factors which increase the capacity of radiant ceilings and what effect these factors have on the cooling capacity.
