ACC-U-SOUND · Cloud and ceiling treatment
Move absorption overhead—without treating every ceiling condition the same.
CP covers several published ceiling conditions: direct mount, suspended ceiling and cloud-oriented installation. Define the placement first, then confirm the applicable edge, size and hardware.

CP product role
The ceiling condition determines the panel.
CP is a 6–7 PCF rigid-fiberglass panel family published for direct-mount and drop-in conditions, with the source specification also describing a specialized cloud hanger.
Those conditions are not interchangeable. Ceiling grid, structure, suspension distance, services, access and seismic or engineering requirements must be coordinated around the selected mounting assembly.
- What it does
- Adds absorptive treatment at the ceiling plane or as a cloud-oriented element.
- What changes
- Placement, thickness, dimensions, edge, finish and mounting hardware.
- What to verify
- Exact assembly, overhead support, clearances, access and current test data.
The product image shows more than one ceiling condition. Confirm which construction and hanger apply to the project.
Configuration ledger
Choose the ceiling condition before the edge.
Direct-mount, drop-in and suspended cloud conditions place different demands on dimensions, edge and support. The project record should name the exact CP assembly.
Thickness + size
Published reference5/8, 1, 1½ and 2 inches; published maximum 24 × 48 inches. Custom sizes are referenced for direct mount.
Project decisionSelect dimensions appropriate to the mounting condition and verify custom requests.
Direct-mount edge
Published referenceSquare, bevel, miter and radius are published for direct mount.
Project decisionCoordinate perimeter profile, pattern, substrate and mechanical clips.
Drop-in edge
Published referenceSquare, tegular and bevel profiles are published for suspended ceiling systems.
Project decisionConfirm grid compatibility, panel orientation, access and adjacent tile conditions.
Mounting
Published referenceThe web page lists mechanical clips for direct mount and drop-in installation; the PDF specification describes a specialized cloud hanger embedded and resin-welded to the panel.
Project decisionIdentify the exact assembly and obtain the matching mounting detail.
Published acoustic reference
Published absorption increases across the listed thicknesses.
Use the CP values as an initial comparison, then verify the mounting and test configuration for the exact overhead assembly.
Open the CP product PDF| Published thickness | Published NRC |
|---|---|
| 5/8 inch | 0.55–0.60 |
| 1 inch | 0.85–0.90 |
| 1½ inches | 0.95–1.00 |
| 2 inches | 1.00–1.05 |
The source table reports NRC by panel thickness but does not explain every airspace or suspension configuration. Request test documentation matching the selected mounting condition.
Fire-test boundary
The written source ties its ASTM E84 Class A statement to panels with the standard fabric. Confirm current documentation for the selected fabric, edge and overhead assembly.
Published applications
Place the product in the right room condition.
The CP application list spans learning, media, worship, civic and workplace interiors; ceiling type and access requirements remain the selection gate.

Documents & coordination
Build a current CP project record.
The CP PDF is a useful published reference, but its cloud-hanger language must be matched to the actual direct, drop-in or suspended condition.
Request current project documentsProduct source boundary
The current sources describe direct-mount, drop-in and specialized cloud-hanger conditions without fully reconciling them in one selection table. Name the intended CP assembly and request the matching current detail.
Selection record
Record the selected construction, dimensions, finish, edge and mounting together. Request samples and current acoustic and fire-test documentation that match that assembly.
Field coordination
Confirm field dimensions, substrate or structure, penetrations, adjacent systems, installer scope and access requirements before fabrication or procurement.
CP questions
Clarify the assembly before specification.
Use the published information to frame product review, then verify the exact assembly and evidence with QTS.
Is CP a direct-mount panel, a drop-in tile or a suspended cloud?
The current sources describe all three kinds of conditions. The project must identify the intended CP assembly and obtain its specific edge and mounting detail.
What is the published maximum size?
The current product page and PDF list 24 × 48 inches nominal, with custom sizes referenced for direct-mount applications. Confirm any custom dimensions.
Which edge works with a ceiling grid?
QTS publishes square, tegular and bevel edges for drop-in ceiling systems. Direct-mount options are listed separately.
Does the NRC include every suspension height?
The public source does not map the values to every airspace or hanging condition. Request the matching ASTM C423 test report.
What overhead information should I send?
Provide the reflected ceiling plan, grid or substrate, structure, plenum depth, services, access needs, treatment layout, finish direction and project criteria.
Have a CP condition to review?
Start with the reflected ceiling plan.
Share the ceiling condition, layout, structure, services, access requirements and acoustic criteria so QTS can identify the CP assembly to verify.
