" Our friends at Owens Corning have developed a new kind of up acoustical ceiling and might Kingsley is here to tell us about it now why do we need an acoustical ceiling. At all in an apartment situation like well this ceiling the Solserene acoustical ceiling system. It's used primarily for. -- we spaces hard surfaces to resort revert. Yes end that's our cause reverb the reverberation Rivera erosion of senator -- the -- that and we've got beautiful hardwood floors and we've got wonderful plaster and running an area and -- course this apartment especially we've got people that are going to be living above and below me. -- bring down the sound level within the space. Kills the echo it's like a high performance acoustical ceiling system but it's fall -- that -- all appointees one piece seamless -- in fact desk is we've all heard acoustical ceiling run mystical tile. With the joints or the greater the on the grid it looks now like an officer of the barbershop exactly. So here's what she's saying instantly. Totally solid one piece and no seams exactly hardly. So this is if you want right what what are they doing right now. Right now they're putting in the the track or the fabric retainer. Candidates -- yes -- track goes around the perimeter of the room. And that's what holds a -- as some hidden jaws in it and what's it made out of its extruded PVC polymer okay. And if you look here it goes against the walls. This is apart against the wall up. It right here is they take the arrogant -- it into these teeth which allow the fabric in -- When an -- Wellesley increase tension and it stores in this channel right restored right in -- now let's look overhead. They've already put in what. I would say is some sort of compressed fiberglass what is this product. That's an acoustical fiberglass panel it has -- it's it's one inch thick in this case and it has a off white matte finishes. Make the background behind the fabric sort of monolith. How does it differ from fiberglass insulation itself higher density and its major resorts there. It's very similar to a high performance acoustical ceiling panel. Either a wall panel or a ceiling panel laid -- grid now one thing that you've had to do is you have to make sure the electricians. Lower any electrical boxes right and in this area we're having track lighting installed so they've also come down here and added some blocking the exact working away. In either direction for a now it is fiberglass don't you have to worry about the particles getting all over the air what they're not wearing any kind of face masks. Well it's not firing that's -- higher density also has has a finish on it usually doesn't have a lot of the loose particles that you normally get with with the it's -- Sure. All right so let's talk about the actual fabric that's going to be stretched out here. Mike what is it. Well I don't think that touches. Yeah because of nozzles be wearing gloves -- you have clean hands attached it's the Solserene fabric. It's a high quality. It's polyester fabric as inherent fire retardant built into it and it's a locking knit weave. So it has stretch it won't. It's not affected by Peter humidity and make cutouts in it without it refrain it's it's pretty amazing stuff and it's also up -- sixteen feet wide. -- so we won't have any kind of seams here though how do you get started putting it up. That it's tagged on one corner. All right so that goes in the corner and yeah then they're gonna work their way around they just tag it in there did it tucked in certain spots and work their way around the room. The work his way around until the couple pieces. Up. Again. Off the ground. Then they start working in between. And the tension the whole piece of fabric because they go you'll notice they have a lot of excess hanging on the sides. They'll be just starting to trim that. Now this is obviously not do it yourselfers. Project is. Not really a lot of elements are carpentry but. Putting up the fabric does take some training and skill yeah how long has this been available. It's been available in the commercial world for about ten years -- Owens Corning is introducing it to the residential market at this time. And because of the need for a quieter homes. And then what about the cost. Those costs range from there depending on the application and and the situation job conditions whatever. Somewhere between eight and twelve dollars square foot installed. -- right now Dan is. Adding the stretch to it notices -- it's very get flatter. And we're gonna he'll pull some out. Pull on it. And read -- and that's how other. Concealing his tension. Now this is gonna take them quite some time that we can see the other side of the living room that's already been draped. And of course the track lighting has already made him. Put administration's. All the track lighting your pretty talk actually you can touch it. Right and weeks if it moves just a little there's the half inch air space that I mentioned earlier -- curriculum candidate looks like up. Put drywall or plaster ceiling -- I love the way it looks up against the the old rustic brick wall."
