Glasswool as an Acoustic Core Material

As a core material in Ecophon systems, glasswool supports lightweight constructions and precise system integration, allowing consistent product performance across different ceiling and wall formats without compromising durability.

Glasswool for Acoustic performance

The glasswool core absorbs sound energy within its fibre structure, reducing reflections and controlling reverberation in interior spaces where acoustic comfort and speech clarity are required.

Material Characteristics

• Excellent sound absorption performance for effective noise control

• Lightweight, stable core material that is easy to handle and cut on site

• Clean installation with minimal dust generation

• Compatible with advanced surface finishes for design flexibility

• High resistance to mould and bacterial growth, supporting healthy interior spaces

• Fire-safe material properties that contribute to overall building safety

• Supports sustainable material use, including recycled content for reduced environmental impact

Design and System Integration

Glasswool enables flexibility in ceiling and wall system design. The material supports multiple panel formats and installation types while maintaining consistent acoustic behaviour.

Safety and Sustainability

Ecophon glasswool acoustic material meets high requirements for safety, hygiene, and durability. The use of recycled glass contributes to sustainability goals without compromising performance.

Application Areas

Ecophon Glasswool acoustic ceilings and wall panels are suitable for:

• Offices & Workplaces

• Healthcare segment
• Commercial/ Retail

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

What is glasswool used for in acoustic ceilings?

Glasswool is used as the core sound-absorbing material in acoustic ceilings to reduce noise, control reverberation, and improve speech clarity in indoor spaces.

How does glasswool absorb sound?

Glasswool absorbs sound through its fibrous structure, which traps sound waves and reduces their energy as they pass through the material.

Is glasswool a sustainable acoustic material?

Yes, glasswool is made largely from recycled glass and supports sustainable building practices while delivering high acoustic performance.

Where are glasswool acoustic wall panels used?

Glasswool acoustic wall panels are used in offices, schools, healthcare facilities, and commercial interiors where sound control and comfort are important.
