In today’s office environments, privacy and sound control are more critical than ever. Thermotec Australia has developed a new solution with its latest innovation:
NuWave® CrossTalk plenum barrier.
NuWave® CrossTalk has been designed to deliver high acoustic privacy while simplifying installation. Its lighter, thinner construction makes it practical and much easier to work with, especially in complex installations.
Tackling Privacy Issues
Offices, meeting rooms, and consulting rooms are essential in modern workspaces, but they often struggle to maintain the privacy required for sensitive conversations. Traditional solutions, such as full-height partitions or thick fibre chocking, can be effective but are typically expensive, bulky, and difficult to install. NuWave® CrossTalk offers the same level of acoustic performance in a much more manageable package and provides the flexibility needed to meet a wide range of acoustic challenges.
The Innovation Behind NuWave® CrossTalk
One of NuWave® CrossTalk’s features is its design. It’s thinner and lighter than traditional plenum barriers, which makes it easier to handle and install. Despite the reduced weight, this barrier is engineered to maintain excellent acoustic performance as part of a Ceiling Attenuation Class (CAC) ceiling system.
The flexibility of NuWave® CrossTalk allows it to conform to irregular surfaces and achieve tight seals around penetrations, which is critical in preventing sound leakage. MS Polymer sealant enhances this capability, ensuring the barrier performs reliably, even in the most challenging scenarios.
Proven Performance with Practical Benefits
Independent testing has confirmed that NuWave® CrossTalk significantly improves the CAC of ceiling systems. By integrating advanced materials and sealing technologies, this plenum barrier offers a solution suited to the needs of modern office and professional environments.
Why NuWave® CrossTalk Brings Innovation
Convenient 3-Metre Rolls:The product comes in 3-metre rolls, ideal for handling and installation efficiency, reducing the time and effort required on site.
Lighter Weight Under 14 Kilograms:At under 14 kilograms per roll, NuWave® CrossTalk meets Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) standards for a one-man lift, making it safer to handle on-site and easier to install.
Significant CAC Improvement:NuWave® CrossTalk consistently boosts the CAC by 16 points, allowing ceiling systems to achieve a 50+ CAC rating even with tiles with a CAC as low as 34. This can lead to substantial cost savings by reducing the need for more expensive, high-CAC tiles.
Potential Cost Savings in Retrofitting:If you’re considering a retrofit, NuWave® CrossTalk may allow you to retain your existing ceiling tiles, depending on their CAC rating, avoiding costly replacements while still achieving high acoustic performance.
A Reliable Solution
NuWave® barriers have provided dependable solutions for over two decades. Its latest innovation, NuWave® CrossTalk plenum barrier, sets new ceiling attenuation standards. It offers a practical, cost-effective alternative to bulky or thick materials, ensuring your room can achieve the privacy it needs simply and cost-effectively.
