Ecophon Focus™ is the most comprehensive product family of Ecophon. It offers a wide range of design possibilities with different edges, sizes, colors, and its adaptability to level changes of ceiling height, allowing it to be used in most application areas.

With an exposed grid system and easily demountable tiles, Focus™ A, is best fit for applications where a robust suspended ceiling system is required. It improves absorption in the low frequency range with an optional Ecophon Extra Bass that can be installed on top of the suspended ceiling.

Focus™ E suits for applications where an attractive suspended ceiling is required and easy removal of individual tiles is needed. It has a recessed visible grid and a tegular edge that gives the ceiling a shadow effect, making each tile more noticeable and partially concealing the grid.

Focus™ F can be installed directly to an existing plaster ceiling, boarding, battens or concrete, to create a ceiling with a smooth appearance. This particular model is for applications requiring a ceiling finish mechanically secured to the structural soffit.

Muratto’s Cork Bricks Collection is a decorative wall innovation that preserves and presents all the natural variation and true character of cork. Precision cut in three dimensions, each product - 3D, BEV, and GRAND - comes in three different sizes and variations in thickness. This provides interior walls with an appeal of traditional brick but with softer texture and a more sophisticated and inviting style.

One of the most notable products of Muratto, 3D is made of light cork pieces, with a natural treatment and a handmade process to create a unique aesthetic natural result. It comes in different thicknesses and is painted with an innovative immersion process.

BEV has a rough but distinct aspect because of its similarity to the natural cork bricks. It stands out because of its beveled edges for a bigger volume effect, and provides a natural but luxurious look to any spaces.

GRAND is an allusion to the traditional brick, while renewing the vision of cork in a natural form, yet continuing the sense of comfort and warmth. It allows an immensity of pattern possibilities, through its array of shape and color combinations.

In the recent years, acoustic design solutions have become a trend in Architecture. More and more architects and designers nowadays are specifying acoustic products as building or interior materials for their architectural design projects. Acoustic products are those ceiling panels or wall coverings that are constructed with sound attenuating materials, e.g. mineral wool, fiber glass, cork, and the likes.

More than the flexibility in design it provides, the rise of acoustic design solutions can be sourced from today’s awareness of its primary purpose - sound absorption. However, along with the overwhelming acceptance of the market, many manufacturers today are citing misleading information about their respective acoustic products’ performances and test results, making it difficult to navigate the best in the sea of available options. Some products are advertised or tested with workarounds to appear more effective while actually having an inaccurate sound absorption rating.

Inewvation International and Arktura would like to share the knowledge needed for further understanding of acoustic design solutions. In this blog, we’re defining NRC and identifying its importance, to help you in making an accurate, informed decision when selecting an acoustic system.

WHAT IS NRC?

Noise Reduction Coefficient or NRC is an average rating of how much sound an acoustic product can absorb. It typically lies between 0.00 to 1.00. The materials that have a rating of 0.00 are those that reflect all of the sounds that hit it, while the materials that absorb all of the sounds that hit it receives a rating of 1.00. The higher the NRC rating number means the better the acoustic performance a product has.

Aside from NRC, there are additional performance metrics for acoustics set by American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM), such as STC for sound transmission class and SAA for sound absorption average. However, NRC is an industry-standard in architecture because its focus is on sound absorption coefficients for the four fundamental frequencies of human speech: 250 Hz, 500 Hz, 1000 Hz, and 2000 Hz.

NRC rating evaluations vary from product to product, and configuration to configuration, even within one space. If a certain acoustic product is perforated, installed, or formed in different ways, then the acoustic performance will definitely be different.

WHY IS NRC RATING IMPORTANT?

The NRC describes the average sound absorption performance of a material. It provides you an assurance that your acoustic products will perform as you need and expect them to. These materials are not just selected because of their designs, but also because they need to meet specified needs.

TRUE NRC™ BY ARKTURA

Arktura’s True NRC™ provides acoustic results that are transparent and accurate.

Born out of its commitment to transparency and accuracy in acoustic design solutions, Arktura developed the True NRC™ rating to help the market achieve a confident understanding of every product’s actual acoustic performance. This includes all acoustic products’ considerations and installation arrangements to provide a number that accurately reflects Arktura products’ acoustic performance.

With all the misinformation out there, the real challenge for architects and interior designers has been specifying quality acoustic products for their architectural design projects.

Arktura, together with Inewvation International, would like guide you with True NRC™ - making an increased awareness of how beneficial acoustic products are and a confident understanding of actual acoustic performance to make the most strategic selection and most informed purchasing decision.

Under Inewvation International’s Sustainable Building Solutions, Arktura is now available in the Philippines. It offers an expansive library of sound attenuating products for architecture, with high product quality and new standards of design aesthetic and adaptability.

With a more affordable price compare to other types of Electronic Article Surveillance (EAS), RF system is the widely used EAS technology today with about 50% of retailers in the global retail sector preferring.

It has security tags covering a wide range of soft labels and hard tags that respond to a specific frequency sent out by the transmitter antenna. The response from the label is then picked up by a receiver antenna. The receiver processes the response signal and will trigger an alarm.

RF technology is perfect for clothing/apparel, but is also suitable for a variety of applications, including food and pharmaceutical products.
