7 SLEEK SELECTIONS FOR CEILINGS AND ACOUSTICAL SYSTEMS

摘要

The command center at the new Southwest Airlines Training and Operational Support building at Dallas Love Field is the heartbeat of the airline's operations. Because the facility supports intense, around-the-clock work, acoustic performance was a central concern when designing the new building. For this project, the airline chose to install 17,000 sf of CertainTeed's Gyptone BIG Curve. According to the manufacturer, the ceiling system is the industry's only acoustical gypsum panel that can be used to create highly curved ceilings without custom fabrication. The installation at Southwest's facility provides an NRC of 0.70 and offers high light reflectance, supporting the center's ambient blue lighting scheme.
