Ice cream shops are often places with acoustic challenges. Some have large glass windows, glass freezers, compressors, and other equipment… Let’s not forget all the patrons and excited children! In retail environments like these, good acoustics are important for accurate order taking, customer comfort, and safety concerns. These spaces also require Class A fire rated materials to meet many local fire codes.

The high ceilings were an easy place to put some acoustic treatment without interfering with the activities of the shop and Fireflex™ Waves were an ideal solution. The ceiling-mount Waves can be installed in either a cloud (horizontal) or baffle (vertical) configuration. In this particular space, the perpendicular baffle installation was the most efficient use of the Waves, and their Class A fire rated Fireflex™ material is also easy to cut in the field – which was handy when they had to work around an I-beam.
