BACKGROUNDProduct image • Product description • Contact information

Description: GLACIER™ acoustical ceiling panels provide exceptional durability, good noise reduction coefficient (NRC) values, and a unique, heavy texture. Available in a variety of colors, they are perfect for food courts, hospitality environments, libraries, and restaurants. GLACIER™ acoustical ceiling panels are heavy-textured acoustical panels that provide exceptional durability and good NRC values. They are available in a variety of colors. The panels are made with a cast process that enhances their surface appearance and provides excellent sound control and durability. The cast process ensures uniform color throughout panel, which masks nicks and scratches. This long-lasting, abuse-resistant surface cleans easily with a brush or vacuum. When 12” x 12” panels are used with concealed USG DONN® Suspension Systems, they create a monolithic ceiling surface. Glacier ceiling panels are classified as zero-emitting; concentration levels do not exceed 2 µg/m3 (1.6 ppb), the background level specified per California Special Environmental Requirements, Specifications Section 01350. An optional FIRECODE™ formulation contains special additives that increase fire resistance and may qualify for use in fire rated assemblies to help meet life safety codes.
