Ceiling Clouds

Mini Ceiling Cloud

Compact double-wave suspended cloud for focused overhead treatment.

The Mini Ceiling Cloud is a smaller-footprint double-wave overhead absorber for focused zones — desks, workstations, huddle rooms, and small conference tables where surgical acoustic treatment beats a full drop-ceiling.

Highlights

Why specify the Mini Ceiling Cloud

  • Open-Cell, Fiber-Free

    TECHLITE® melamine foam is fiber-free with no shedding or airborne particulates.

  • Lightweight & Easy Install

    Very lightweight — suspends from aircraft cable/wire with no lift equipment required.

  • Double-Wave Ceiling Texture

    Compact double-wave form creates a signature overhead texture that reads as a design element.

  • Fully Customizable

    Custom sizes, cloud spacing, and cloud depth — paintable in 1 of 1,500+ colors with acoustically transparent paint.

  • Highly Sound-Absorptive

    Melamine foam delivers strong broadband absorption in the speech-clarity range.

  • Class A Fire Rated

    ASTM E84 Class A across finishes for schools, studios, and commercial installs.

  • High Light Reflectance

    Reflective white face supports daylighting strategies and contributes to LEED points.

Sound Absorption

NRC Gauge

Independent absorption testing on our TECHLITE® melamine foam — the same material used across our ceiling cloud line. NRC is the average absorption from 250 – 2000 Hz, the range that carries most speech and music energy. Suspended cloud placement further boosts effective absorption by exposing both faces to the room; the Mini profile reaches NRC 1.00 at 2.5″ thick.

Source

Absorption results tested in accordance with ASTM C423-09a — independent third-party acoustic lab report supplied by the manufacturer.

NRC = Noise Reduction Coefficient, the average of the 250, 500, 1000, and 2000 Hz absorption coefficients rounded to the nearest 0.05. SAA = Sound Absorption Average across twelve one-third-octave bands (200–2500 Hz). Mounting follows ASTM E795 (Type A = direct-to-hard-surface).

What the score means
  • NRC 0.00–0.30: Reflective surface — will not meaningfully reduce echo.
  • NRC 0.30–0.60: Modest absorption — some reverb reduction.
  • NRC 0.60–0.85: Strong absorption — noticeable clarity and comfort gains.
  • NRC 0.85+: Studio / broadcast-grade absorption.

Higher NRC = more sound absorbed on impact. NRC only measures absorption within a room; it is not a soundproofing (transmission-loss) rating.
