2.3.

ACOUSTICAL CEILING PANELS A. Acoustical Panel Standard: Provide manufacturer's standard panels of configuration indicated that comply with ASTM E 1264 classifications as designated by types, patterns, acoustical ratings, and light reflectance, unless otherwise indicated. Subparagraph below represents standard mounting referenced in ASTM e 1264. Revise if testing units with another mounting method is required for Project. Mounting Method for Measuring Noise Reduction Coefficient: Type E-400; plenum mounting in which face of test specimen is 15-3/4 inches (400 mm) away from test surface per ASTM E 795. Acoustical Panel Colors and Patterns: Match appearance characteristics indicated for each product type. Where appearance characteristics of acoustical panels are indicated by referencing ASTM E 1264 pattern designations and not manufacturers' proprietary product designations, provide products selected by Architect from each manufacturer's full range of products that comply with requirements indicated for type, pattern, color, light reflectance, acoustical performance, edge detail, and size. Treatment below is available from armstrong world Industries and USG interiors for some panel products. If paragraph is retained, correlate with panel product
