Office Applicattion: The acoustic wall is needed at the office's printing and faxing room. The wall should absorb 80% of the noise. This feature would keep the working and the library spaces next to it quiet and comfortable
Product Summary: Acoustical wall and ceiling panels can be constructed of many different materials and finishes. The ideal acoustical panels are those without a face or finish material that interferes with the acoustical infill or substrate. Fabric covered panels are one way to maximize the acoustical absorption. The finish material is used to cover over the acoustical substrate. Mineral Fiber Board, or Micore, is a commonly used acoustical substrate. Finish materials often consist of fabric, wood or metal. Fabric can be wrapped around substrates to create what is referred to as a "pre-fabricated panel" and often provides the best noise control if laid onto a wall, and require no modifications. Prefabricated panels are limited to the size of the substrate ranging from 2'x 4' to 4' x 10'. Fabric retained in a wall-mounted perimeter track system, is refered to as "on-site acoustical wall panels" This is constructed by "framing" the perimeter track into shape, infilling the acoustical substrate and then stretching and tucking the fabric into the perimeter frame system Product Detail:
Architectural Applications: This product is widely used by the music industry at recording studios, but it is being utilized in offices to keep the noise down and a more efficient working space.
