Acoustic ceiling raft

A horizontal suspended island — absorption over a defined zone where a full ceiling isn't wanted.

An acoustic ceiling raft is a horizontal absorptive island suspended below the soffit, adding absorption over a defined zone — a meeting table, a reception, a breakout — without lining the whole ceiling. Rafts suit spaces with exposed services or a feature soffit that a continuous ceiling would hide.

The build-up shown is the planned specification; absorption per raft size and mounting height is published against a test report. Where absorption is needed across a whole floor rather than a zone, a continuous ceiling or a run of baffles may suit better.

Why some rows say “pending”. We are pre-launch. Absorption (αw / NRC) and reaction-to-fire (Euroclass) figures are published per finish only when a named test report supports them, and FSC when the certificate is held — never before. Geometry shown is the planned standard specification.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between a raft and a baffle?

A raft is a horizontal island that sits parallel to the ceiling and treats the zone beneath it; a baffle is a vertical fin that hangs down and absorbs on both faces. Rafts suit defined zones like a meeting table, while baffles suit large open floors and exposed soffits.

Do I need a raft over the whole ceiling?

No — the point of a raft is to add absorption over a specific zone rather than lining the entire ceiling. How many rafts a room needs depends on its size and target reverberation, which is best sized against the volume rather than a fixed count.
