Design considerations in highly humid environments

High humidity in indoor spaces pose unique challenges to any acoustic wall or ceiling systems. Interior acoustics features must be designed so that condensation risks are mitigated, moulds do not grow on the surface, and any metal components do not corrode and fail over time. An acoustic feature covered in mould and mildew is both unhealthy and unsightly.

Interior acoustics features must be designed so that condensation risks are mitigated, moulds do not grow on the surface, and any metal components do not corrode and fail over time. An acoustic feature covered in mould and mildew is both unhealthy and unsightly. Likewise, any acoustic ceiling with corroded fixings may result in the collapse of the ceiling which is a safety risk for occupants of the space. This highlights the importance of correct design of acoustic wall and ceiling systems in humid environments.
