Method B
This method is more complex and requires knowledge of all
the materials to be used for lining the area and their sound
absorption coefficients. If you wish to use Method B, refer
to the detailed worked example in BB93, Appendix 7, pages
181-184.

Method A
Entrance halls, corridors or hallways
Cover an area at least equal to or greater than the floor
area with a Class C absorber or better.

Design option
Where corridor widths do not exactly fit the standard
product sizes, it may be desirable to install a plain border.
This is possible using any of the Class C or better
absorbers listed in the ceiling selector guide on page 86.
The percentage area of plain board depends on the product
performance. See Figure 5.2 for examples.

Selecting

music rather than speech, designing solely in terms of reverberation time may not be
appropriate and specialist advice should be sought. In large rooms used primarily for
music, it may be appropriate for the reverberation times in the 125 Hz and 250 Hz octave
bands to gradually increase with decreasing frequency to values up to 50% above Tmf.
4 Refer to Sound absorption in corridors, entrance halls and stairwells, on Page 83.
British Gypsum ceiling systems are suitable for all areas (as outlined in the
above table) within an education environment. However, we do not advise
the use of our sound absorption systems for indoor swimming pools.
Alternative ceiling lining solutions are available, please contact the
British Gypsum Drywall Academy - Tel: 08705 456123.

frequency range. To determine the absorption class the

Acoustic ceiling raft
Awareness of environmental issues and energy efficiency has led to an increased desire to utilise the thermal mass of
structural soffits in helping to control temperature within buildings.
Utilisation of thermal mass can create design problems when trying to control reverberation within classrooms. This is
because the usual method of controlling reverberation within learning spaces is to utilise the ceiling for acoustic control.
Ceiling rafts are a popular design choice for a solution to this issue. British Gypsum ceiling systems allow almost limitless
design potential as well as good acoustic performance. The following examples are provided for inspiration. For help in
designing this type of solution, please contact the British Gypsum Drywall Academy.
