Stop Sound Leaks Through Your Ceiling

NetWell’s Ceiling Caps are mass-loaded ceiling tile covers designed to block sound from traveling through drop ceilings and into the plenum space. Installed directly above standard ceiling tiles or light fixtures, these barriers are ideal for offices, medical facilities, HR departments, and conference rooms where speech privacy and noise reduction are critical.

Reduce Sound Transmission Through Suspended Ceilings

Ceiling Caps are noise barrier ceiling tile covers that significantly reduce sound transfer through T-grid ceilings. Constructed with a polyester acoustic decoupler bonded to a mass-loaded vinyl sound barrier, they prevent speech and noise from leaking between rooms via the plenum.

This solution is especially effective when wall partitions stop at the ceiling grid—offering a cost-effective alternative to extending full-height walls.

Key Benefits:

  • Blocks speech and airborne noise from passing through ceilings
  • Enhances privacy in offices and healthcare settings
  • Simple drop-on installation for both new and existing ceilings
  • Class A Fire Rated per ASTM E-84

Plenum Space and Noise

Simply rest these Soundproofing Ceiling Caps atop your existing ceiling tiles to help combat noise bleed in or out through your drop grid ceiling tile system. Please note that our Ceiling Caps weigh more than 1 lb per square foot, which delivers the density required to reduce sound transmission, but the additional weight may require reinforcement of your grid system prior to installation.

Applications:

  • Private Offices & Conference Rooms

  • HR and Legal Departments

  • Medical Facilities

  • HVAC and Mechanical Rooms

  • Server Rooms

Ceiling Cap Pricing

Ceiling Caps are used to eliminate acoustic flanking paths through ceiling plenums. Ceiling Caps work in both directions – they reduce sound transmission both entering & leaving a room through the ceiling tiles. For large order volumes, contact us directly to get a custom quote.

Finished Ceilings

For some clients, replacing a ceiling grid system with a finished drywall ceiling is a more favorable option.    Here, we switch the sound barrier treatment out, and introduce a layering sequence to your ceiling, featuring our popular sound barrier membrane called dB-Bloc.

Check Your Grid Supports

Ceiling Caps are designed to simply rest on top of your existing ceiling tiles. Clients must ensure their ceiling grid is properly reinforced so that the Ceiling Caps can rest safely atop their existing ceiling tiles.   Clients will often double up on the number of hangers used to support the soundproofing Ceiling Caps installation.  For any questions related to the weight load of your grid system, check with your grid system supplier prior to installation.
