Ceiling Cloud Brackets

The ceiling is often one of the most underutilized surfaces for acoustic treatment, in part because installing panels there is more labor-intensive than wall mounting. Acoustic ceiling panels play a key role in improving soundproofing, controlling reverberation, and minimizing first reflections from the ceiling to your ears. With the proper mounting hardware, you can turn your ceiling into a powerful sound-control surface, with a more secure, less messy installation than gluing acoustic foam to the ceiling or using impaling clips that can fail.

Our acoustic panel ceiling mounting brackets make this process easy. Each bracket set mounts directly to the ceiling with just two fasteners, minimizing the impact on your drywall or other ceiling surface. The brackets create a consistent 4″ air gap between the acoustic panel and the ceiling, giving the ceiling panels a “floating” look and better results.

This air gap enhances performance by increasing sound absorption efficiency (compared to a flush mount). Getting the panel away from the ceiling moves the absorption material farther from the zero-velocity reflection point for both ceiling and wall panels. Sound waves pass through the panel, reflect off the ceiling, and then pass through the panel again at full velocity, increasing the energy absorbed and reducing problematic reflections. It’s an efficient way to get more from your ceiling panels, though, as always, use the thickest panels you can tolerate for best low-frequency performance, along with corner bass traps and other devices in a broader treatment strategy.

For optimal performance, pair your brackets with GIK Acoustics ceiling panels. Mounting acoustic panels or bass traps overhead can be tricky. We’ve taken the difficulty out of the equation with our Cloud Mounting Brackets©. Not only are they easy to use, but they’re also easy on your budget. It’s the perfect solution for acoustic panel, rigid baffle, or bass trap ceiling mounting.
