Acoustical Ceiling Systems
Improve Acoustics by 50% with Only 20% Coverage*
Ceiling SyStemS
B e t w e e n u s , i d e a s b e c o m e r e a l i t y
Solving acoustical challenges in exposed structure spaces has never looked
so good!
The sleek Capz system
pairs accent hardware with the
exceptional acoustical benefits of
smooth, durable MetalWorks, fine-textured
Optima, and Spectra ceiling panels. This
unique combination gives you the opportunity
to improve acoustics, reducing reverberation
time by about 50% with only 20% coverage
of the available ceiling area, resulting in a
sound acoustical solution that gives you the
look you want now without noise problems
that can follow.
