I just love floating walls. Bigger residences customize to an open floor layout that create a beautiful spacious feel, but also without right planning, much unused space. I frequently recommend segregating bigger rooms by using a floating wall. These are the things you should keep in mind while installing a floating wall.
Floating ceiling systems are also addressed as suspended ceiling systems or drop ceiling systems. No matter which term you use, a floating ceiling is a growing practice in office design due to its various advantages.
Advantages of floating ceiling systems
Acoustic Performance
Not all the floating ceiling systems are meant for acoustic control. Nonetheless, due to their very nature of lowering the ceiling, they can enhance the acoustics of the room. In spaces that require more intentional acoustic control, these can be added to enhance acoustic performance.
On the other hand, a pre assembled acoustic enclosure encloses noisy tools in a chamber or a room. For the best acoustic performance, the exterior of the enclosure should be made of thick and robust material like galvanized steel while the interior should be covered with absorbent material like acoustic wool. To prevent the noise from escaping, the air outlets and inlets should have silencers.
During an expansion, mechanical equipment may be installed on the roof in a walled alcove. This roof area can be sealed and covered by using membrane roofing. A Trane chiller installed on a steel frame supported from the structure of the roof. The sound that is given out by the installed chiller would be quite loud. Due to the high decibel reduction necessary, the client required a complete four sided chiller enclosure for rooftop noise control. As the chiller requires air to work, the enclosure walls are included in the acoustical louvers.
