Curveline

Curveline
Curveline can produce custom-curved acoustical panels that provide economical "two-in-one" performance, functioning simultaneously as a roof deck and an acoustical ceiling, bringing significant construction economies. Project designers may now use domes and arches where flat ceilings were previously required and still achieve the desired acoustical characteristics.


Epic Metals

Epic Metals Corporation
Long span, acoustical roof deck and composite floor deck ceiling systems. Epic specialty steel deck applications include features like a versatile grid hanging system, spans up to 55', hidden roof fasteners, various acoustical applications with NRC ratings, and acoustical security ceiling and wall panel systems.


Fabricmate Systems

Fabricmate Systems
We offer free value engineering and short lead times with a system that's easy to spec and can be built/altered on-site. Acoustic, tackable, and magnetic fabric panels/systems for anywhere. Works in conjunction with other materials. Durability, sustainability, and changeability are inherent in design. Requires little or no maintenance. Looks great & is extremely cost effective.


International Cellulose

International Cellulose Corporation
SonaKrete is a cellulose material that is spray-applied and then trowelled smooth for a plaster-like finish. SonaKrete can provide a noise reduction of up to 75% and is available in custom colors. Because SonaKrete is spray-applied, it easily conforms to arches and irregular surfaces making it perfect for historical renovations and new construction. ISO Certified.
