Wood Framed Broadband Acoustic Ceiling Cloud - Red Oak
$859.00
Perforated hardboard behind the fabric. Bass and low mids pass through to the fill; from about 1 kHz up, part of the sound goes back into the room, so the ceiling doesn't sound over-deadened.
It sits inside the frame lip, so the depth doesn't change. Plate performance figures are predicted.
Our wood framed ceiling clouds absorb from 125 Hz up, in a red oak plywood frame with the fabric tucked into a fabric track just inside the bottom lip. They hang anywhere you have ceiling space to work with, so you can add absorption to a room without giving up wall space. Use them where the frame is meant to be seen.
Each cloud is a red oak plywood frame around 4" of 6 PCF rigid mineral wool, a dense core rated 0.60 at 125 Hz, 0.88 at 250 Hz and 0.91 or better from 500 Hz up. The fabric track finishes the underside with no exposed staples, and the fabric is replaceable, so a color change later is a re-tuck rather than a rebuild. The top side is finished with an olive ripstop backer over the insulation, with a triangular corner block and a steel eye bolt in each corner.
Stain and Topcoat
Choose a Clear, Early American, Gunstock, Weathered Oak, Dark Walnut or Ebony stain, finished with a matte or satin polyurethane topcoat. Every stain is the same price.
Finished in your choice of 50 acoustically transparent colors in Guilford of Maine Anchorage 2335.
Lighting Options
Clouds can be ordered with two recessed 6" lights, an LED uplight strip, or both, in standard white or Philips Hue (color changing, app controlled). Click any photo to see it full size.
Recessed Lights: Two 6" low-profile lights set flush in the underside of the cloud.
LED Uplight Strip: Runs around the top perimeter and washes the ceiling above with a soft glow.
Installation: The recessed lights are mounted in the cloud before it ships but are not wired to each other or to power. The LED strip is not pre-installed; it is adhered along the top of the cloud after the cloud is hung.
Electrical: All wiring and connections to power are done on site by a licensed electrician. If we install your clouds, our licensed electrician does the wiring. Reach out to us for a quote.
Absorption Coefficients
6 PCF rigid mineral wool, 4" core. Conservative figures: the lowest value in each band from published ASTM C423 data for 6 PCF rigid mineral wool board (ROCKWOOL ROCKBOARD 60 and Owens Corning 705). Values above 1.00 are shown as 1.00.
Finish: Clear, Early American, Gunstock, Weathered Oak, Dark Walnut or Ebony stain; matte or satin polyurethane topcoat
Depth: 5.5"
Underside: Fabric track, no exposed staples
Top Side: Olive ripstop backer over the insulation, corner blocks and eye bolts
Fabric: Guilford of Maine Anchorage 2335, in 50 acoustically transparent colors
Suspension: Eye bolts fitted in the corner blocks. Quick links, screw eye hooks for joists and toggle bolts for drywall or plywood included. On the eye bolts and quick links alone a cloud sits about 3" off the ceiling; add lengths of chain or hanging wire (not included) to hang it lower
Hanging: A cloud hangs from four points, so each point carries about a quarter of its weight. Screw the eye hooks into ceiling joists, or use the toggle bolts through drywall or plywood where there is no joist. Any chain or wire you add should be rated well above that load. Lifting and hanging a cloud takes two people
