Sontext Marketing Manager Geoff Coghlan said “ARTAS Architects chose this product and finish. This is an ideal application for Murano Acoustic Panels, with this particular perforation pattern - as the space is intended to be used as a cafeteria. The 3mm holes are barely visible from floor level, so it doesn’t look like a typical perforated panel. Also, this perforation pattern has a tested Noise Reduction Coefficient (NRC) of 0.65 in a suspended ceiling application. This will provide sufficient sound absorption to minimise reverberation in the space, without deadening the “buzz”, which is desirable for social meeting space like this.  If the application was a library, or similar quiet area, we’d recommend Murano or Serenity Acoustic Panels with a much higher NRC.”

As the picture shows, services such as airconditioning diffusers, lighting, etc., were also easily incorporated into the ceiling panels.

Murano Timber acoustic panels are available  in Decorative Timber finish, Paint, Natural Wood Veneer and the new UV finished Wood veneers.

Choosing a Veneer finish can be difficult as there are many variations and species available, Sontext have  worked with leading Veneer companies to develop a standard range that will give consistency, stock colours but also the latest in Interior design trends.

Murano Acoustic Wood Panels are available in a wide number of perforated or slotted patterns to ensure a range of acoustic performances are available. The size of the hole or the slot can have a significant effect on the acoustic treatment of the room. As part of the services offered by Sontext we have a design service that will prepare Workshop drawings for your project ensuring the look and  feel of the design are maintained through to construction.

When wood is Green

Leed Certified and FSC Acoustic Wood Panels

Murano Acoustic Wood Panels are more than just a Wood panel with holes in it that has some acoustic performance.

Recently Ecospecifier reviewed Murano Acoustic Wood/Timber Panels and have rated them against LEED, Green Star and other environmental criteria and the results are amazing.

The basic substrate which consists of MDF and  not only is it FSC certified but E0 and has been tested against the Building code of Australia Fire Tests. It is important when choosing a substrate that you ask the supplier to provide certifcaton on F.S.C. (Chain of Custody), Fire Test results and any environmental claims they may make.

Murano are pleased to release the new ECOBOARD substrate which is quite revolutionary in acoustic wood panels, not only does it have no Formaldehyde at all, it rates exceptionally well against all major environmental categories.

Ecoboard has  been tested against Australian Fire Tests and achieved Group 1 and Class A in the USA Fire tests. All the standard Murano Acoustic patterns and veneers are available on the ECOBOARD core.
