Import Tips
• Include acoustic performance test data and NRC ratings to support ceiling construction classification
• Ensure perforations don't alter base density; core material must maintain 0.5-0.8 g/cm³ specification
• Document compatibility with standard ceiling grid systems to prove building construction dedication
