Our fire and acoustic speaker hoods offer air-tight protection to comply with latest IEE and Building Regulations for Fire and Acoustic integrity of ceilings. Designed to house our ceiling speaker units, these hoods comprise a double-skin of intumescent fabric to provide the perfect fire safety solution. Easy to fit and designed to blend in with your ceiling, these products are a must-have to maintaining the fire rating of your home or business.
Fire Protection for In-Ceiling Speaker Installations
The Lithe Audio Premium Fire & Acoustic Hood 270 helps maintain the fire integrity of ceilings fitted with in-ceiling speakers. Its double-skin intumescent construction is designed for fire-resistant installations, making it a useful addition to compatible audio systems in homes, apartments and commercial buildings. It has been tested to BS 476 Part 23 (E & F, 2004), helping installers address fire protection requirements as part of a carefully planned ceiling installation.
Reduce Sound Transfer Between Floors
Alongside fire protection, the Hood 270 incorporates fire-retardant acoustic damping foam between its fabric layers to help reduce sound travelling through the ceiling void. This can be particularly valuable in multi-storey homes, apartments, offices and other shared environments where sound from background music or television audio may otherwise carry into neighbouring rooms. Its enclosed design also helps limit dust build-up on the rear of the speaker.
Flexible Fit for Compatible Ceiling Speakers
Designed for compatible 6.5-inch and 8-inch round ceiling speakers, the Lithe Audio Hood 270 supports cut-outs up to 210mm. Its internal dimensions are approximately 310mm in diameter and 150mm deep, with an external diameter of 340mm and depth of 160mm. The woven glass fibre construction is lightweight at around 200g, while the rim can be secured with suitable mastic, sealant or double-sided adhesive tape before the speaker is fitted. Always check the hood dimensions and installation requirements against your chosen speaker and ceiling construction.
