Look what Invi Air Diffusers are Concealing in the Ceiling - 50% Less Noise Levels. Invi Air’s non-metal, installed air diffusers are hard to see in a wide-angle room photo. After installation, they can be easily painted to match the exact color and texture of the wall or ceiling, so they are virtually concealed. All you can see are frameless, thin, sleek slots that blend in perfectly with the flush surface they’re installed in, concealing the fact that they reduce noise levels by up to 50% compared to metal air diffusers, grilles, and vents. Due to Invi Air’s unique composite construction and limited restrictions on the rear of the diffuser, noise is limited. We strive to design our diffusers for less than 15 NC. (Noise Criteria). Standard aluminum vents amplify the vibration and whistle of moving air. Our smart composite material absorbs sound, significantly reducing ambient noise levels. #Architecture #InteriorDesign
