In the hood

In-ceiling speakers are a popular choice for anyone who loves their home entertainment, or who wants to turn their office into a multimedia hub. But the presence of the speakers can undermine the structural integrity of a ceiling and its ability to withstand fire and insulate sound. 

Hoody’s range of fire and acoustic speaker hoods are compliant with all UK building and IEE regulations, offering fire protection for up to 90 minutes and effectively insulating against backwards sound leakage. The easy-to-install hoods are available for a range of popular speaker brands and come in four different sizes.

A spokesman for Hoody said: "It’s imperative that anyone installing in-ceiling speakers considers the regulations carefully and invests in the fire hoods that will protect them should there be an electrical fault somewhere along the line. Our speaker hoods are dual-purpose, also offering insulation against sound leakage, which is another common complaint from those who install in-ceiling audio equipment."
