Accessibility Different degrees of demountability can be achieved depending on edge design, installation method and the amount of integrated service installations.

Cleanability The criteria for obtaining a long lasting ceiling are regular maintenance and cleaning in combination with dirt and dust repellent surface material.

Light efficiency A ceiling with good light reflectance and good light diffusion reduces the need for installed lighting. This results in improved energy efficiency and a better working environment.

Influence of climate The temperature and the relative humidity must always be considered when designing and choosing ceiling systems.

Indoor climate The indoor environment has a major impact on people’s health. The building materials, the ventilation, the furnishing, the cleaning routines and the activities are factors that all influence the indoor climate.

Environmental influence A long-term and purposeful approach is important to guarantee a product range with far-reaching environmental consideration.

Fire Safety High safety level for people is important in case of fire. The suspended ceilings should never contribute to flame spread and smoke production or fall down as long as people can survive in the building.

Mechanical properties A ceiling must never collapse during its use. Therefore they must always be mounted according to installation instructions and loading recommendations be followed.

CE marking The CE-marking covers properties such as sound absorption, fire safety, load bearing capacity etc. All Ecophon ceiling products are marked according to European standard EN13964.
