Smooth-textured Ultima Vector provides excellent acoustical absorption, light reflectance, and durability, including impact, scratch, and soil resistance. Ultima Vector is great for projects where plenum space is limited as it only requires about 6" clear space from the deck to install the panels and suspension system.
Ultima Vector has a monolithic, suspension-concealing visual for a sleek, modern look. Ultima Vector panels offer HumiGuard+ no-sag performance, are resistant to surface growth of mold and mildew, and can be recycled at the end of their usable life. Utlima Vector panels must be installed with a Prelude® suspension system.
