Acoustical Products Made in USA.
Industrial manufacturing facilities are often filled with large open production floors that contain heavy machinery, fabrication equipment, and automated systems. These environments commonly feature exposed steel structures, metal roof decking, and concrete floors that reflect sound rather than absorb it. As machinery operates throughout the day, equipment such as stamping presses, compressors, conveyor systems, and fabrication tools can generate sound levels between 85–95 dB(A) during regular operations.
Because manufacturing plants are typically designed for durability and efficiency rather than acoustics, sound waves easily travel throughout the facility. When machinery noise reaches the ceiling, it reflects back toward the production floor and continues bouncing throughout the building. These repeated reflections create excessive reverberation that spreads noise across the entire workspace.
High reverberation levels can make communication between employees extremely difficult. Supervisors may need to shout instructions across the production floor, and workers may struggle to hear safety warnings or operational directions. In large manufacturing environments where teamwork and coordination are essential, poor acoustics can impact productivity and even workplace safety.
Installing VibraCore® Acoustic Ceiling Banner Systems helps control these reflections by absorbing sound energy from overhead surfaces. These industrial acoustic ceiling banners are suspended from the ceiling structure and absorb sound waves on both sides of the panel. Because they treat one of the largest reflective surfaces in the facility, acoustic ceiling banners significantly reduce reverberation within large industrial spaces.
With properly installed VibraCore® Acoustic Ceiling Banner Systems, manufacturing noise levels can often be reduced from 90–95 dB(A) to approximately 70–75 dB(A). This reduction improves communication between workers, enhances workplace safety, and creates a more controlled acoustic environment across the production floor.
