The possibilities are endless with SoundScapes® acoustical canopies and clouds. Choose from a variety of shapes and sizes for maximum design flexibility. Installation is easy – suspend from the deck, through an existing ceiling, or attach directly to drywall.

SoundScapes acoustical canopies and clouds provide greater sound absorption than a continuous ceiling of the same surface area because sound is absorbed from both the front and back surfaces.

put a cap on noise

The Capz™ system pairs accent hardware with the exceptional acoustical benefits of smooth, durable MetalWorks™, Spectra™, and fine-textured Optima® ceiling panels. This unique combination improves room acoustics while reducing reverberation time by about 50% with only 20% coverage* of the available ceiling area.

The combined result – a sound acoustical solution that gives you the look you want, without the typical noise issues.
