Acoustic Panel PD8

ACOUSTIC PANELS FOR WALLS AND CEILINGS

Panels with an acoustic PD8 perforation are one of our most popular solutions for walls and ceilings as the relatively large open area guarantees a high level of sound absorption. In our veneer shop we can work with almost any wood specie and by varying the type of veneer cut, the pigmentation and ultimately the installation pattern, you can create great natural experiences in interiors. Our acoustic panels are installed with Gustafs celebrated Capax system for ease of use and a beautiful end-result.

Material

This is an all-natural product combining high-quality timber veneer and a non-combustible, high-density fibre gypsum core. Gustafs panels are produced with over veneered edges for seamless joints.

Fire Safety

Designed for use in public spaces, the finished acoustic panel and the total installation offer the highest possible fire class for wooden panels; A2-s1,d0.

Acoustics

Create an optimal sound environment by combining a selection of Gustafs perforation patterns, each with their own highly calibrated acoustic properties.

03 PANEL COMPOSITION

Our panels are based on a fibre gypsum board with excellent qualities regarding dimensional stability, impact resistance, acoustics, fire-safety and emissions. The unique combination of materials results in a panel suited to the high demands in large public spaces.

Panels produced according to your drawings

Surfaces

Give our panels your personal touch by endless options regarding veneers, surfaces and laminates.

Core colour

Choose between a light- or dark-fibre gypsum core. For instance, the acoustic pattern will be less noticeable when a dark core is combined with a dark veneer like walnut.

Installation

Our acoustic panels are so much more than cladding. Available in custom formats in lengths up to 3000 and widths up to 1200 mm, the panels are installed with Gustafs adored easy-to-use Capax System to secure zero-spaced joints and perfect in-line patterns.

Our unique fire protection

By covering a non-combustible fibre gypsum core with a thin layer of wood, we have created a natural and impregnation-free composition that does not contribute to fire. Thanks to this, all our cladding systems are 100 percent fire-rated, not just parts of the product, and meet all countries’ fire safety requirements.

With our low emission wood, you can breathe out.
And everyone else can breathe in.

The fibre gypsum core of Gustafs panels is regarded an inherently none-emitting source of VOCs, just like stone, ceramic, metals, glass and concrete. The panels are also completely impregnation-free and that is why our panels are naturally very low emitting, guaranteeing a healthy room air quality.

The 5 natural benefits of our Fibre Gypsum Core

Gustafs panels are produced with a high-density, reinforced fibre gypsum core having inherent properties regarding dimension stability, emissions, sustainability, fire safety and acoustics. These 5 fundamental demands in today’s modern building industry effectively eliminate most traditional wood-based alternatives. Use our dark fibre gypsum core on PD-perforations to make the holes and grooves less appearing in combination with dark veneers.

KNOWLEDGE HUB / CORE

Stability

Unaffected by indoor climate changes, fibre gypsum doesn’t bulge, warp or swell – making large panels and zero-spaced joints perfectly viable. The end-result will be beautiful and remain so over the full lifetime.

Fire Safety

Non-combustible and homogeneous by nature, fibre gypsum doesn’t need chemicals to achieve its fire rating, remaining safe even with acoustic perforations or when cut. The panel, with wood veneer and solid wood edging, is still 97% fibre gypsum, with a fire classification up to A2-s1,d0.

Acoustics

Acoustically, the use of wall cladding with a higher density is usually favourable compared to lighter materials. Fibre gypsum-based panels are heavier than wood-based wall cladding materials and sound waves will not make them vibrate or resonate.

Sustainability

Thanks to the cores high density and low thermal conductivity, the panels help to maintain room temperature, reducing the need for cooling or heating.
Fibre gypsum contains of 94% recycled material. Even better is the fact that 17% of the total content comes from post-consumer recycled material, very important for the certification of buildings.

Emissions

Fibre Gypsum cores are extremely low emitting. One of the reasons is that they are produced without wood binders and automatically without added urea-formaldehyde or isocyanates. Interior Panels and Ribs, containing 97% Fibre Gypsum, will per definition have very low TVOC and formaldehyde emissions.

Corner protection

A sturdy corner profile compatible with Gustafs Capax installation system. Provides an extra durable corner protection in high trafficked areas of the interior like for example elevator entries. Natural anodized or painted in customized colours.

Cover

Varying types of overs and windowsills are needed in almost any interior fitting project. Gustafs will perfectly match the correct specifications and needs for your project as well as the surface and finish.

Plinth

Plinths are the definite finish of a panel installation, not only regarding a nice design but also concerning the protecting function, for example against wet floor cleaning. Contact us and we will fulfil the specifications of your project.

Openings

Especially in ceilings functional openings are needed. Gustafs Panels can be supplied with prefabricated openings for varying use like lightning and speakers. Contact us and we will meet the specifications of your project.

Linear Lightning for panels

Integral LED illumination system for Gustafs Panels using installation profile Capax 3206 and a diffuser lens. The 12V plug and play system provides an easy and time saving installation. The result is a slim and brilliant light line in between the panels, either vertically or horizontally. The slim power supply system can be hidden behind the panels.

Opening Grilles

Grilles to cover heating and ventilation systems are a natural part of our cladding system. To make the grills sturdy they are made of solid wood and supported by a clever construction. As a one stop supplier, we will match the visual appearance of the grill with the rest of the interior for an optimal result.

Slatwall wall suspension system

Open a world of opportunities by integrating our Slat-Wall profile to your wall. The profile 3266 provides a visible open joint of 15 mm and can be used everywhere and directly in-between our panels. Slat-Wall is a universal World standard, and the number of accessories is infinite, like the suspensions of shelves, hooks, lamps, art, office tools, meeting room tools etc.

In-fill strips for panel joints

Give the joint between your panels a personal touch and make beautiful panel patterns. In-fill strips can be delivered in real wood veneer or coloured materials. Used with Gustafs Capax demountable Profile 3206. Vertically, horizontally or a combination of both.

Informative or creative signage by intarsia

Intarsia is an ancient decoration method where veneer is cut into different shapes and put back onto Gustafs panels like a puzzle. You can work with different wood species and vary the veneer directions. Today’s intarsia is cut 100% digitally for a perfect result and end-less design options. Intarsia is not suited for graphics spread over several panels. Intarsia designs do not affect the final fire classification.

Informative or creative signage by perforations

To express an image by perforations you first need to digitalize the graphics into dots. Our perforations can vary from 0,5 to 10 mm in diameter and in some extend different hole diameters can be combined in one and the same design. Perforated images can often reach over several panels but please contact us for the guidelines before you start to create. The perforations do not affect the final fire classification our panels.

Informative or creative signage by print

High resolution printed graphics can be applied to all Gustafs panel surfaces and can be combined with acoustic perforations of which the Nano perforations gives the best result. In-house controlled, the printed images can easily be spread over several panels and do not affect the final fire classifications of the panels. Your Print is always sealed and additionally protected by our triple UV coating system, giving it the professional long-lasting finish demanded by public rooms.

A versatile installation system with many benefits

Capax is the name of our inventive installation system. It makes installations quick, durable, concealed and ensures the perforation pattern is aligned across the wall or ceiling.
