Taiga II Hygiene
Antibacterial Performance
• Noise Reduction coefficient (NRC) : 15%
• Ceiling Attenuation Class (CAC): 35 - 39 dB
• Light Reflectance ( LRC): 85 %
Mold has become a significant
concern due to today's fact-track
scheduling, which can allow high levels
of moisture to become trapped in a
structure during construction.
• USG helps architects and specifiers
to eliminate the issue of mold and
microbial growth by offering ceiling
panels with ClimaPlus Superior
Performance, which provides
guaranteed resistance against sagging,
mold and mildew growth, subject to
use under normal conditions.
• Face and back surfaces of these
ceiling panels feature a patented
antimicrobial treatment that provides
broad-spectum control for mold,
mildew and fungi over the warranty
period tested in accordance with
ASTM D3273 and evaluated per ASTM
D3274.
Water Resistance Ceiling Tiles
"Water Shield"
In its continuous improvement, USGME offers
an invention in mineral fiber
ceiling tiles.
Normally, the ceiling tiles have a tendency to stain when in contact
with water due to condensation on pipes and duct work
above the ceiling.
The condensate can drip into the backside of the ceiling tiles and
migrate to the visible side of the tile.
The water droplets can leach tannin from recycled materials and
other cellulosic based materials and staining agent from the
paint surface of the tile.
USG’s new invention provides an economical solution to minimize
water stains at the visible face of the panel.
This invention creates a barrier to water droplets at the backside of
the panel allowing the droplet to evaporated before
it can migrate through the panel.
This treatment provides a Water Shield to mineral fiber tiles
in a practical and cost effective way.
