Work on the recently completed Grace Academy in Solihull included the selection of SAS International's System 600 metal suspended acoustic ceiling rafts. The absorption performance provided by the ceiling rafts reduced reverberation times, improving the 'speech intelligibility'. Perforations in the rafts allow sound to travel through to acoustic pads, achieving acoustic absorption. Additionally reflected sound from the open structural soffit is absorbed into the top of the acoustic pads. Luminaires were suspended between the flat rafts. In other areas, swing down SAS system 150 tiles were utilised to provide access to large areas of ceiling void.

Integrating education, leisure and support facilities, Croydon's first Private Finance Initiative development at the Ashburton Learning Village features metal ceiling tiles from SAS International in all classroom, office, and circulation areas as well as some parts of the public library. The product was installed in order to provide a good acoustic absorption co-efficient and robustness. The tiles are polyester powder coated to ensure durability and to prevent paint chipping, accidental damage and scratch resistance. Easy access to service voids is offered by the clip system which also provides strength and speed of installation as well as withstanding potential abuse from students.
