T24 Main runner Carbon Low

This EPD is valid for Ecophon connect Low carbon grids manufactured with steel that is produced with a high share of recycled materials, utilising high share of renewable energy during production.

The production site of Saint-Gobain Ecophon (Sweden) manufactures ceiling grid systems in different sizes. Hot dip galvanized steel is shaped into a “body” through a process called roll forming. Multiple holes are then punched in the body to allow installation. Lastly, a cap of steel (“capping”) is added on the body to make the grid visually appealing. The capping is added to the body. The finished grids are then packed in cardboard boxes.

The grids provide excellent mechanical characteristics to suspend acoustic ceiling tiles, which contribute to a better health by their sound absorption capabilities. There is no maintenance needed for the grids except for normal room surface cleaning and there is no ageing, hence the grid system can last for the building lifetime.

This Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) describes the environmental impact of 1 linear meter (1 lm) of installed steel profile with the intended use to suspend acoustic ceiling tiles.
