Abstract
An acoustical panel assembly for a suspended ceiling comprising a rigid frame, sound absorbing material, sound transmission attenuation material and a face fabric. The frame is an assembly of extruded members secured together in a polygonal pattern such as a square or a rectangle. The fabric is secured to the frame by gripping elements integral with the frame. Marginal portions of the fabric are captured and hidden in receiving chambers formed by the frame members.
