Firstly a big hello from Brisbane Australia from myself and the team at Suspended Ceilings QLD. Very interesting product you have here.

What increase in NRC values would you get if you applied it over a plasterboard tile? Very interesting guys I'll check back here at a later date for product updates. Please feel free to visit us at www.suspendedceilingsqld.com.au and leave a comment or just come to say hi. Take care and hope to talk more.
