More safety. More efficiency. More sound absorption.

Press | 28. April 2026

In keeping with the brand promise “OWA – more than a ceiling,” OWA ceiling systems are developed to offer genuine added value. Our classic fire protection product, Barriere B, returns in early May. In mid-May, our further-optimized, seamless ceiling system OWAplan and the lay-in version of our hemp straw ceiling Natura A will follow. Discover the triple advantage for your projects now: More safety. More efficiency. More absorption.

 

Fire protection classic Barriere B: Definitely more fire protection

The independent fire protection unit Barriere (EI 30 a<->b) independently meets the fire‑resistance requirements according to EN 13501‑2, both for fire exposure from below to above and vice versa. It protects service installations in the ceiling void and ensures sufficiently long usability of the escape route below in the event of a fire

Barrier B is smoke-tight and, with its high-quality Sternbild surface, offers excellent sound absorption—ideal for rooms with the highest fire protection and acoustic requirements.

OWAplan90: Greater efficiency – without compromise

Acoustics, fire protection, and design combined in one ceiling system: OWAplan. No matter if in restaurants, foyers, museums, galleries, schools, shopping arcades, hotels or in private homes, OWAplan impresses and ensures pleasant room acoustics.  A very fine plaster surface, in white or any RAL colour, adds a touch of elegance to any acoustic ceiling. NEW: Besides the beneficial factory-machined fleece-free edge, the acoustic plaster can now be applied in up to three layers, with two hours of drying time each, in a single day.. This saves time and money, and once again, our promise holds true: OWAplan is simply better.

Achieve MORE now!

 

Natura A: Sustainably higher absorption

The acoustically optimized lay-in version of the Natura hemp-straw tiles offers noticeably higher sound absorption as a class A absorber with a sound absorption coefficient of αw 0.90. This makes Natura A a powerful addition to the product family, offering a high‑performance solution for the most demanding acoustic requirements as a closed ceiling system.

The Natura hemp-straw tiles from the nOWAcoustic collection impress with their natural materiality, their positive contribution to environmental performance, and their versatile application possibilities. Thanks to the resource-efficient manufacturing process, hemp becomes a zero-waste resource.
