We’ve not updated our blog for a while! So just as a small reminder of what we do, see below for some photos of completed projects for our acoustic panel finishes.
Polyester (PET) Panel
PET panels typically come in 9mm, 12mm and 24mm thick. It can be directly mounted or extended with a 2″x1″ timber batten with rockwool infill to increase the absorptive value.
For this project, our PET panels were used on the ceiling panel and the walls. PET panels are normally installed w a V-groove at the joints to ensure consistency at the termination points. It has become a very popular finish for sound absorptive panels due to its ease of installation. However, maintenance and replacements are not easy as it is not easily cleaned or replaced.
Acoustic Timber Grooved and Perforated Panels
The grooved panels provide a fairly seamless finish as it has a tongue and groove for it to click and lock. It is usually backed by timber battens with a stonewool infill for a total build up of 40mm. It can also be clipped on specialised aluminium battens if required.
The second panels are microperforated panels installed with a shadow gap, usually 2-4mm. These panels have to be installed in this manner as Singapore has a hot humid climate with a deep love for air conditioning. This causes expansion and contraction of the panels as the air-con systems are switched on. As such, panels that are installed without any gaps will end up bubbling up, creating waves in the install.
Acoustic Fabric Panels
Fabric panels are our favourite! These normally come in about 25mm thickness and can be installed on all wall structures. We can make a wide variety of shapes and sizes depending on the fabric chosen. The sound absorbtive properties are also the highest of the lot.
The panels consist of a PVC frame with a fibreglass infill, covered with a single layer fabric. The best part about this is that it can be easily replaced. For a large scale replacement, we can replace the frames. Otherwise, just the fabric can be removed and replaced for a new clean look. In the project below, we removed the underlying PVC system as well so that the electricians could run their new wiring for a seamless finish.
