ThunderTiles – Details and Specifications

Primacoustic ThunderTiles combine high density 6lb glass wool with ½” gypsum board. The visible face features a decorative tissue with a painted latex finish. The acoustic tile is fully encapsulated in micromesh and edges are sealed to eliminate dusting during handling.

Designed to fit in standard T-bar ceilings. ThunderTile sizes are 24” x 24” (60cm x 60cm) and 24” x 48” (60cm x 121cm). Each size is available in a choice of flush-mount (trim edges) or drop-down (reveal edges) designs.

Superior acoustic performance coupled with exceptional sound blocking make the ThunderTile an ideal choice for controlling noise between offices, class rooms and entertainment areas and for controlling excessive ambiance which can affect speech intelligibility.

ThunderTiles have been independently tested for fire and smoke development to meet the rigorous ASTM E84 for use in the United States and CAN-UL S102 for use in Canada.
