When the job spec calls for “High Acoustic Performance,” the Dune Max Lay-in is the straightforward solution. While it looks identical to the standard Dune tile on the face, it is engineered with extra thickness to handle tough sound environments.

It boasts a higher NRC (0.70), meaning it soaks up 70% of the noise that hits it, perfect for noisy classrooms or open-plan offices. It also has an improved CAC (35) rating to help block sound from traveling through the ceiling plenum into the next room. For the installer, it’s just as easy to handle as a standard lay-in tile, fitting flush into a 24mm T-Bar grid. It comes with BioBlock anti-mould treatment and HumiGuard Plus protection, so you don’t have to worry about call-backs for sagging or discolouration.

Features:

• Extra thicknes with 18mm board for better durability and sound handling.
• NRC 0.70—significantly quieter than standard tiles.
• Helps keep conversations private between partitioned rooms.
• RH99 humidity rated; stays flat in 99% humidity.
• Classic Square Edge (Board) design for a fast, flat install in 24mm grids.
• 85% light reflectance to keep the space looking open and clean.

Best Applications:

• Libraries, study halls, and private counseling rooms.
• Open-plan areas where phone calls and chatter are constant.
• Doctors’ offices and treatment rooms where privacy is key.
• Any site where the HVAC isn’t running 24/7 during or after construction.
