Panels - Melamine & Laminates
Available in a very wide range of patterns, effects and colours.
Wood grain laminates may be an option where no visual variations are permitted and general consistency is important.
Plywood or MDF can be bonded with laminates or pressed with melamine faces. Ideal for when consistency is important, such as colour matching various elements or themes of the overall build. Laminates in particular are robust and ideal for high traffic or demanding areas.

Grooved & Perforated
The front face is grooved at 3mm wide

UV hardened Lacquer Matt or gloss high strength lacquer provides a tactile finish to enhance and protect the panel.
Burnblock Lacquer
is ultra matt with a natural touch. This maintains the EN13501-1 fire rated standard that is often required in most new projects.

Solid Panels
We can supply plain panels to compliment and contrast the acoustic panels.
These panels will be the same production as the perforated panels and undergo the same finishing process to ensure consistency of colour, sheen and texture.
On larger scale projects, we can offer contrasting solid panels to provide a visual break. This could be melamine, veneered or painted finishes.
Face Fixing
Pinning - Using a lost head nail to secure directly into supporting studwork behind at 300mm centres across all areas of the panels. This method provides a clearer face and a permanent fixing method.
Screws
- Using a stainless steel screw and washer on the border edge of the panels at 300mm centres (24 fixings on outer border). This method makes a feature of the fixing and ideal if panels need removing to access ME services.
Secret Fixings - Split Battens
- Timber 40-45mm thick. Standard construction CE marked timbers are generally used working to industry standard timber subframe requirements.
- Extruded Aluminium 5.5mm-9.5mm aluminium Goodings split battens. A heavy-duty and robust split batten ideal for sports hall or heavy traffic areas where an accessible panel is required.
- Machined Plywood 18mm thick Burnblock treated plywood. Best of both worlds: thin and strong, but lightweight and eco-friendly.

Standards
The material’s ability to absorb sound is generally presented with absorption coefficients measured in different frequencies. This means in practice that one material has a number of different absorption coefficients based on frequencies.
When specifying a suitable absorption class for each product, a product is first measured according to EN ISO 354:2003. The result from this test is an absorption curve, which declares absorption coefficients for each frequency used in the test.
Independently tested standard perforations to meet BS 8233:2014. We work with clients, architects and designers to achieve the acoustic rating and visual aesthetics required for the project.
Acoustic absorption is achieved by sound waves passing through the open area in our panels and baffled by the acoustic fleece behind. Our standard range of machining achieves a high Class C rating (with potential for a higher rating using bespoke machining or additional insulation behind the panels)
