Perforation
Panels are either plain or perforated
The standard perforation is 1.8mm dia. holes on 3.3mm diagonal square pattern giving a 19%open area.Perforation with 2.3mm, 5mm and other diameters are also available
Sound Absorption
The back of the perforated panels comes with acoustic material, Soundtex. This material is non-flammable and meets the requirement of building material class B1.
SOUNDTEX acoustic non-woven, in conjunction with perforated steel sheet panels, has been tested for its sound absorption performance by the German Fraunhofer institute for Constructional Physic (IBP) in Stuttgart under the certification Mark P-BA 290/1996 to P-BA 292/1996 in accordance with DIN/EN 20 354:1993
The Noise Reduction Coefficient(NRC) was calculated in accordance with ASTM C423-90a.
The degree of Sound Absorption was determined as follow for three perforation patterns with a ceiling cavity of 400mm.
