Tectum Deck Replacement
What is Tectum deck?
Tectum deck is an acoustical wood fiber panel commonly used in roof decks, walls, and ceilings. Tectum is often found in buildings from the ‘60s and ‘70s, or in new construction that requires acoustical insulation and noise dampening.
Tectum panels are made of Aspen Wood Fibers bonded with an inorganic hydraulic cement. They can be used as structural panels in roof decks and provide an outstanding Noise Reduction Coefficient (NRC).
Types of Tectum
There are two primary types of Tectum: interior Tectum and roof deck Tectum. Interior Tectum is installed on ceilings or in walls to dampen sound and diminish reverb. Roof Tectum is used as a structural element of roof decks. The Tectum is installed under the roofing membrane.
There are a wide array of Tectum types. The most common type used in ‘60s and ‘70s construction is Tectum I tile.
