Ambient can be applied in a few different ways to achieve different acoustical effects according to the sound reduction requirements. The entire surface is seamless and no expansion joints are required. It is finished as a textured or smooth surface.
The System is traditionally applied using Ambient Basecoat and Finishcoat when being applied to conventional a ceiling. In some instances Terraco Ambient Finishcoat is sprayed directly on to the prepared fibre board in two coats, each of 1mm depth.
