WOODSORPTION SOUNDPROOFING

Wood Veneered Acoustic Panels woodsorption venered soundproofing board woodsorption venered soundproofing board

Since wood is a natural product, our Woodsorption range of acoustic panels create a naturally aesthetic solution to noise control. The unique features of the wood panels give a warm organic appearance offering a finish to compliment any area. Surface choices include real wood veneers, wood print laminates and paint finished timber sound absorbing panels.


APPLICATION

Woodsorption soundproofing panels are suitable for almost every application including use in schools, studios, reception areas, lecture theatres, offices and commercial buildings. Woodsorption panels are exceptionally durable and abuse resistant making them particularly appropriate for areas tha may require a high degree of of impact resistance such as sports and recreation halls, police interview rooms, factories and workshops.

MANUFACTURE

Woodsorption sound absorbing panels consist of a finishing surface, base core board and black acoustic fleece backing. The base core board is an 18mm thick MDF sheet with a finish laminated to its front face and black acoustic fleece adhered to its rear face. Woodsorption panels are manufactured with tongue and groove joints. Thanks to the precision of the tongue and grooves a perfect finish is achieved when Woodsorption panels are installed.

DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS

Woodsorption panels cannot be supplied as curved panels but they can be indexed or stepped around a gentle radius giving the appearance of a slow staggered curve. The radius should be greater than 5m to achieve this.

SURFACE FINISHES

REAL WOOD VENEERS: These acoustic panels are faced with natural wood veneers. Due to the natural characteristics of wood, veneer colours and grains cannot be guaranteed for consistency or match.

PRINTED WOOD VENEERS: These acoustic panels are faced with a printed laminate paper which imitates natural wood but is not produced from real wood. Variations may also occur between different production batches.

PAINTED FINISH: Woodsorption acoustic panels can be supplied with a primer sprayed finish in either white or grey.

REAL WOOD VENEER SURFACES WOOD PRINT SURFACES

Nature dictates each tree is different and so veneers can vary in colour and grain. Although it is these natural conditions that make wood beautiful, these together with the reproduction restraints of printing and this web page mean inevitable differences will appear between the colours on this web page and the actual product.

FIRE SAFETY

Woodsorption standard acoustic panels meet BS476 Class 3 fire rating. If special fire treatment is required, the real wood veneered panels can be treated with proprietary intumescent varnish so upgrading the panels to Class 1 or Class 0 surface spread of flame rating. Please contact our technical department for further information and to ensure the correct specification can be supplied for your requirements.

MAINTENANCE

Woodsorption panels are easy to maintain. The panels can be cleaned with non-abrasive cleaners which are suitable for wood veneers.

FACE PATTERNS

There are two standard finishes for Woodsorption. One face pattern is made up of a series of slats and the other pattern is a series of perforated round holes. Other face patterns may be produced upon request. Each panel has a machined tongue down one long edge and a machined groove down the other long edge. Each end is square edged and unjointed.

Slatted Panels

These have longitudinal grooves, 3mm wide and machined along the length of each panel. The machined slots are in two versions: Version A has slots machined every 32mm resulting ineach slat being 29mm wide Version B slots machined every 16mm making every slat 13mm wide.

Round Holed Panels

These have circular holes machined over the face of the panel. These round holed panelsare available in two versions: Version C has 6mm diameter holes Version D has 3mm diameter holes The centre-to-distance between the holes is 16mm

ACOUSTIC PERFORMANCE

Woodsorption is an ideal sound absorbing panel with qualities which are pleasing to both the ear as well as the eye.

Woodsorption is also one of the most advanced and efficient sound absorbing products available today for reducing reverberant noise levels in many environments. Panels are normally fixed onto 50mm battens.

(Insulation tested below is 50mm thick, 50kg/m3 density. A small difference of +/- 10kg/m3 will not make any difference to the overall sound absorption).
