ECKOUSTICAL FUNCTIONAL PANELS

Eckoustic Functional Panels (EFPs) are attractive, sound absorbing, fire-resistant panels which can be spot located on walls or ceilings to achieve effective noise control.

Since EFPs are independent panels, they can be put into place without disturbing existing utilities. This functional approach to acoustic control, therefore, is considerably less expensive than continuous ceiling or wall treatment.

EFPs also help solve other noise control problems. They can be added to barriers to increase noise reduction capability. Special aluminum EFPs, for example, have been attached to concrete barrier walls around transformers and in sewage treatment plants, thereby enhancing the barriers' acoustic performance as well as preventing a potential community noise problem. These panels can be manufactured with solid backs, and they will then act as barriers themselves, an extremely practical solution in industrial situations where full noise control enclosures are not feasible.

Wherever EFPs are used, a better acoustic environment is obtained...with a resulting reduction in speech interference, fatigue, tension, and errors.

EFPs are Ideal for Correcting Noise Problems in:

Industrial noise problems such as water and waste-water treatment facilities or power plants sometimes require absorptive treatment as one of the elements of a total noise control program. EFPs provide a convenient, cost-effective method of adding needed sound absorption.
