Acoustical Ceiling Tiles
CFAB™ Cellulose Absorptive Acoustical Panels
Cellulose-Based Acoustical Panels
CFAB cellulose acoustical panels are made with a unique blend of 80-85% post-consumer recycled fibers. They offer an environmentally friendly solution for acoustical panels. The panels are cost-effective, easy, and safe to handle and install. Most panels are installed onto the walls or ceiling with adhesives, but stick pins and washers can also be used. The most common applications for the CFAB Cellulose panels are in areas where aesthetics is of less importance, or in applications where they are used as an acoustical backer for a site-stretched fabric system. Some typical applications for the CFAB panels include industrial or mechanical applications, breweries or tap rooms, absorbent panels for behind stretched fabric or linear/slatted wooden walls or ceilings, under tables and chairs or in other situations where the room or space is going for an industrial / recycled aesthetic.

Installation Method
Ceiling: Adhesive, Stick Pins
Wall: AdhesiveAcoustical Performance:
The fiber matrix, panel thickness and core density of CFAB cellulose acoustical panels are a great way to reduce echo and deaden and reduce reverberation noise within a room. CFAB cellulose panels achieve high Noise Reduction Coefficient (NRC) ratings based on the density specified. The chart below represents NRC ratings for the four different thicknesses that can be produced. Sound Transmission Classification (STC) rating for the ½” thick product has been done for specific applications where noise reduction through a wall or floor/ceiling assembly is needed. The 1” and 2” panels can be used inside of a wall assembly and will help in the overall noise reduction performance of an assembly, but these thicknesses have not been tested for an STC rating.
Product Safety:
Our CFAB Cellulose panels contains flame retardants to ensure maximum safety for building insulation, and carry a Class A fire rating. To protect against mold growth, CFAB cellulose panels contain an EPA-registered fungicide. CFAB does not contain any harmful airborne particles, and do not itch or irritate skin.

Color Options
Note: CFAB panels are made from recycled fibers and will have different colors and physical properties from one production run to another – color can not be requested or specified. Visual differences between panels is unavoidable. Please call for details.

Stick Pins
Stick pins are often used as mechanical fasteners for overhead installations or to hold panels in place while adhesive is setting. They are strongly recommended for corrugated metal deck or similar applications. Pins and washers are available in both galvanized and stainless steel. Pin lengths are available from 1” to 6” in varying increments. Please call or contact an ASI product specialist for more information.

Sustainability Profile
Made from a combination of recycled and renewable fibers, CFAB cellulose panels are environmentally responsible and sustainable. Most CFAB cellulose products are completely recyclable and no scrap is produced during the manufacturing process or installation of the material. In addition, they are manufactured using a greener process by reducing energy use and air pollution. Through an innovative manufacturing process, CFAB is produced as a cellulose-based product made primarily from post-consumer, post-industrial paper using recycled newspaper as the main raw material.
