Acoustiscreen™ Polyester Fibre Wall Panels

Acoustiscreen - Colourful Acoustic Wall Panels Acoustiscreen Sound Absorbing Wall Panels are part of the Sontext range of internal noise control systems. The systems are designed to provide maximum decorative design flexibility while at the same time significantly improving the sound quality of internal spaces by minimising reverberation. The Acoustiscreen range provides both colour and acoustic control, with the added advantage of suitability as pin boards. Acoustiscreen is made from polyester fibre, is non-toxic, odourless, and has low volatile content. Acoustiscreen complements the existing Sontext range of fabric-faced and perforated timber acoustic panel products, ensuring our clients have maximum choice of acoustic solutions for interior sound control.

Benefits - Sound absorbing, pinnable surface Textured fibrous panels in seven colours. Manufactured from 65% (approx.) recycled polyester fibres. Humidity & moisture resistant Odourless, low-VOC content and non-toxic. Fire resistant Lightweight (approx. 2.4kg/m2 for 12mm thick panel).

Acoustic Performance By incorporating Acoustiscreen Wall Panels as either a new wall lining or by direct fixing them to existing walls, the reduction in unwanted noise can be quite significant. At some frequencies, up to 100% of sound can be absorbed by utilising Acoustiscreen Panels of appropriate thickness and/or by installing the panels

with an air space behind them. Acoustiscreen Panels have been tested in N.A.T.A. registered laboratories in a reverberation chamber, and have achieved Noise Reduction Coefficients (N.R.C.) as shown. (Note: An NRC of 0.85 means that up to 85% of the sound reaching the panel is absorbed. Low frequency absorption can be increased by installing the panels with an air gap behind them, or by increasing the thickness of the panel.

Acoustiscreen Panels have been tested in a reverberation chamber test to AS 1045 –1988 “Measurement of Sound Absorption in a Reverberation Chamber” (based on ISO354).

Acoustiscreen Applications. Current interior design trends in modern commercial buildings can often include hard surfaces on ceilings and walls. These hard surfaces can cause problems with reflected sound. These Interior spaces may be difficult to utilise fully simply because (a) noise levels may be unacceptably high or (b) reverberation causes speech, music etc to be hard to hear clearly or is distorted.

Acoustiscreen Acoustic Panels are ideal for use in all types of commercial premises, both new or existing, such as - Boardrooms and Meeting Rooms Convention centres/exhibition centres Sports Centres and Gyms, Multi purpose venues Schools and University classrooms and lecture theatres Churches and Halls Sound recording studios. Acoustiscreen is designed for installation to virtually any existing interior wall lining, such as plasterboard, brick or concrete. There are many fixing options available, such as framed panels, simple adhesive fixing, etc. Please discuss you requirements with your Sontext Distributor or contact Sontext direct.
