building materials and
surface treatment which
contribute significantly
to acoustical control,
through absorption.

MATERIALS
General
Classifications:

Porous Materials
Panel or Membrane
Absorbers
Cavity (Helmholtz)
Resonators

ARCH 147 EVANGELISTA


POROUS MATERIALS

The basic acoustical


characteristic of these
materials is a cellular
network of interlocking
pores.
Within these pores,
incident sound energy is
converted into heat.
Examples of these include
acoustical boards,
diffusers, soft plasters,
mineral wool, and
acoustical blankets, among
others.

ARCH 147 EVANGELISTA


POROUS MATERIALS

Characteristics:
Their sound absorption is
more efficient at high, rather
than low frequencies.
However, their acoustical
efficiency improves in the
low frequency range with:

increased thickness

distance to their solid


backing

POROUS MATERIALS

Categories of
Commercial Materials:

Pre-fabricated
Acoustical Units
Various types of perforated,
fissured, or textured
materials constitute typical
units in this group

have irregular surfaces,
or angled or curved
fronts, so when mounted
on a wall or the ceiling
they stop parallel wall
interference and prevent
standing waves.
