AIM Acoustic Trough Infi lls are available in a range of densities and are factory cut to suit any trapezoidal profi le or perforated standing seam decking. The infi lls are stone wool, which is recognised as a good sound absorbing material. Acoustic performance is dependent on the structure of the deck and the open area within it.
