Product Expert Notes
Choose Mars Healthcare 80/40 panels when a project requires both high sound absorption (NRC) and high sound attenuation between rooms (CAC), such as clinics and patient-care areas. The Square Tegular 9/16 in. edge gives a reveal effect in a 9/16 in. grid, so match your grid profile before ordering. For general office acoustics with less stringent attenuation needs, a standard Mars panel may be a more economical choice.
Wear eye protection and gloves when cutting mineral fiber panels and follow USG installation guides and local building codes.
