ECHOPANEL® 24MM

Description

EchoPanel® is a decorative panel substrate offering improved acoustic performance with a fabric like finish. It is a direct response to ecological sustainability and environmental quality requirements facing contemporary interior design and fit out.

Environmental Thinking
EchoPanel® is made from 100% PET (Polyethylene Terephthalate) which, depending on colour contains up to 60% post-consumer content. This is recyclable.
Cost/Savings
EchoPanel® is a finished surface in itself therefore reduces costs in labour and materials in many applications, including workstations, pinboards, acoustic wall cladding, furniture and ceiling.
Non Hazardous Materials
With regards to many furniture assemblies, substrates containing formaldehyde are still being actively used. These materials emit dangerous off gasses over a period of years.
EchoPanel® only emits a total VOC emission rate of < 0.02mg/m2/hr (over 7 days).. when used as a vertical screen divider in conjunction with a formaldehyde-free desk system it is a solution to a safe working environment and will contribute towards a GECA or EcoSpecifier certified workstation.
Size/Weight Ratio
At a weight of 3000 grams per square metre (24mm thick panel). It is a face finished product, pin-able and can be used as double sided or single sided panel, making it ideal for a multitude of wall, ceiling and free-standing interior applications.
Performance
• Acoustics: EchoPanel® 24mm has been independently tested, in accordance with AS ISO 354 – 2006 and received an NRC (noise reduction co-efficient) result of 0.85 (with a 50mm air gap), 0.75 (with a 20mm air gap) and 0.65 (with no air gap). This is a better than average absorption of sound particularly useful in open and reverberating spaces evident in today’s office environments.
• Fire: EchoPanel® 24mm has undergone many forms of industry testing and complies with some of the world’s highest mandatory standards. Its fire-retardant properties have been developed so that it is an excellent performer in the safety arena. It holds first-class ratings in Australasian and International markets, achieving a Group 1 rating in the ‘ISO 9705’ full-scale room fire test.
EchoPanel® 24mm has also been awarded the internationally recognised ‘BS EN 13501.1: Classification B-s1, d0’ as well as the Fire Test ASTM E84.
