Cloud canopies consist of varied baffle lengths, combined to form round cloud like shapes.
OWAtecta expanded metal mesh is a contemporary and industrial suspended ceiling surface material.
OWAtecta Rd1522 is a perforated surface for galvanised steel, modular metal tiles or rectangular panels.
Metal, one-piece, free-hanging, class A, perforated canopy. Standard and bespoke sizes.
Selecta is a range of lightweight glass wool canopies with an impressive acoustic performance.
Firstly, what is an acoustic ceiling canopy? At OWA, we define a canopy as a solo, horizontal, free-hanging ceiling absorber. The canopy fixes to the soffit via wires or threaded rods, and it’s a single, one-piece product.
A ceiling canopy will provide acoustic absorption, and it may also need to mask M&E services. Acoustic canopies are an effective solution for absorbing sound in noisy interiors and rooms. Furthermore, a canopy hangs horizontally so both the visible face, and the back face will absorb sound. Therefore, when installed in rows, the large surface area of the canopy arrangement will reduce echoes and reverberation. This will aid speech intelligibility and improve sound clarity for staff, students or customers. All our canopies are equivalent to acoustic absorption class A. Acoustic frequency reports according to ISO 11654 are available on request.
OWA offers different canopy solutions depending on the project brief. We supply a standard range of rectangular, square and circular shapes. However, custom shapes and sizes are available on request.
Our Selecta range of white fleece or coloured fabric canopies are high-quality glass wool absorbers. We neatly wrap each face and all edges in fleece or fabric. However, not all canopies are like this, so it may be worth checking with other manufacturers.
Our Corpus 3 dimensional cuboids or open boxes won the prestigious Red Dot Design Award in 2018. The varying shapes, sizes and depths can be configured in endless design configurations. Again, each face absorbs sound, including the exterior and all interior faces.
Our floating S14 metal ceiling canopy suspends from the exposed soffit on threaded rods, and we manufacture them from galvanised steel, mesh or aluminium. The canopy kit features a folded metal panel with riveted U-profile braces, a black acoustic fleece, a 70 kgm³ acoustic pad and six M6 threaded rods. Also, each is powder coated, and we stock white and black versions in the UK. Custom RAL colours and sizes are available on request, but a minimum order quantity will apply. Please liaise with your ASM or our technical department.
Large open plan offices, schools or leisure facilities, like bars and restaurants, can be noisy environments. So, such spaces need a method of sound absorption to reduce unwanted noise. Acoustic canopies absorb this sound to create a more productive and comfortable environment.
A metal or glass wool ceiling canopy will add style to any commercial, public or education room or corridor. Architects and designers can use shapes and colours to create stunning unique layouts to enhance aesthetics. While the acoustic absorption properties of the canopies will improve sound quality to aid work, rest and play.
