A new glass ceiling tile offers sound control

Pinta is the name of the company that designs this new tile made of recycled glass that has excellent sound control ratings. If you aren't familiar with Pinta, maybe that is because you weren't aware that Pinta once was Illbruck which was the company that featured Sonex products for acoustical control.

Pinta is the company's name because the founder Willi Illbruck was an avid sailer and his vessel was the Pinta named after Christopher Columbus's ship- the fastest of the three.

It sounds like Pinta is still in the fast lane when it comes to designing products for the interior/exterior ceiling industry. Their new product Phonstop can be used in grid systems and it has an NRC of .90. Check out their website at pinta-acoustic.com.
