Aligning with Green Building Standards and Certifications

Eco-conscious building owners are increasingly focusing on green certifications such as LEED. As such, using sustainable acoustic panels with these certifications can offer high-performance acoustics while adhering to environmental guidelines.

Certifications and Standards

Backed by recognised certifications, our materials meet global standards for performance, safety, and sustainable design.

Global Standards

We align our processes with standards set by the International Organization for Standardization to ensure quality, environmental responsibility, and reliable acoustic testing. Standards such as ISO 11654 guide how we measure and report sound absorption performance consistently.

Performance Testing

We test our materials in accordance with standards developed by ASTM International to validate performance. Methods such as ASTM C423 allow us to provide dependable acoustic data, ensuring accurate specification and consistent comparison across different materials and applications.

At Alüm™, our aluminium architectural systems are designed to elevate acoustics and reduce echoes in diverse spaces. Focusing on design and sustainability, these eco-friendly ceiling systems are produced from low VOC products. They feature perforations and open structures that diffuse and trap sound. The sound passing through these perforations is absorbed by underlying acoustic materials like fiberglass or mineral wool, effectively minimizing reverberation and optimizing sound quality.
