Abstract
Systems and methods are disclosed for a multi-layered sound absorption structure. The multi-layered sound absorption structure may include a form material, an acoustic material disposed on a surface of the form material, and a construction material disposed on the acoustic material. The acoustic material may couple to the construction material during curing of the construction material. After the construction material is cured, the form material may be removed exposing a least a portion of the acoustic material.
Claims19
A building structure comprising:
- a multi-layered sound absorption structure comprising:
- a pre-formed acoustic panel comprising a fibrous material, the acoustic panel having a first face and a second face;
- and
- a cementitious construction material integrally coupled to the acoustic panel,
- wherein a majority of the first face of the acoustic panel is exposed on the building structure and the second face of the acoustic panel is covered by the cementitious construction material.
A method of constructing a building structure comprising:
- installing a form material;
- disposing an acoustic panel having a first face and a second face on a first surface of the form material, wherein the first face of the acoustic panel is disposed on the first surface of the form material;
- disposing a cementitious construction material over the acoustic panel such that the second face of the acoustic panel is covered by the cementitious construction material, the cementitious construction material being in fluid state when being disposed over the acoustic panel;
- and
- removing the form material to expose a majority of the first face of the acoustic panel, wherein the majority of the first face of the acoustic panel remains exposed on the building structure.
A method of constructing a wall or a floor of a building structure comprising:
- installing a form material;
- disposing an acoustic panel having a first face and a second face on a first surface of the form material, wherein the first face of the acoustic panel is disposed on the first surface of the form material;
- disposing a cementitious construction material over the acoustic panel such that the second face of the acoustic panel is covered by the cementitious construction material, the cementitious construction material being in fluid state when being disposed over the acoustic panel;
- and
- removing the form material to expose a majority of the first face of the acoustic panel, wherein the majority of the first face of the acoustic panel remains exposed on the wall or the floor of the building structure.
