S80 acoustic raft – floating metal ceiling

OWAtecta S80 acoustic raft is a floating ceiling absorber with removable metal panels. Furthermore, it’s a stylish modern interior solution for hiding M&E installations and providing improved sound absorption.

Firstly, what is an acoustic ceiling raft? At OWA, we define a raft as an individual, horizontal, free-hanging ceiling product incorporating multiple removable or fixed panels. The floating raft can be secured to the soffit via threaded rods or wire hangers.

An S80 metal ceiling raft is a bespoke solution, made to order and available in a wide range of sizes, shapes and colours. The floating ceiling raft can be specified in a choice of metal surfaces; mesh, perforated or ‘mock’ mesh (imitation). Through the inclusion of an acoustic pad, S80 acoustic rafts can achieve class A sound absorption. However, the combination of a perforation pattern with a black acoustic fleece will still achieve class C as standard.

S80 metal ceiling rafts help to cover unsightly M&E installations. Therefore, the hook-on metal panels are removable for access, maintenance and cleaning. The low profile, hidden hanging system is ideally suited for open soffit interior design schemes. Also, thanks to its full metal construction, an S80 acoustic raft offers excellent quality, durability and longevity. Hence, this makes them ideal for large open plan spaces, including offices, retail, leisure and education.

  • Bespoke heights available; minimalist low profile or a taller pronounced edge.
  • Standard panel shapes: rectangle, square and trapeze.
  • Any RAL colour available or our ‘RAW metal‘ finish.
  • Easy to assemble and install with M6 threaded rods. Click the videos tab to see an installation example.
