BASWA acoustic AG
BASWA acoustic AG, Marmorweg 10, 6283 Baldegg (Canton of Lucerne), Switzerland, has been making seamless acoustic systems for more than 30 years, with production in Baldegg. Its subsidiary BASWA acoustic Deutschland GmbH is based in Düsseldorf; in North America the systems are supplied through BASWA acoustic North America in Cleveland, Ohio, and worldwide through partners. Acoustic panels are bonded or fixed and coated with microporous plasters made with marble sand, so the finished ceiling or wall looks like plaster. The system families are BASWA Phon (glass wool panel), BASWA Natural (hemp fiber panel), BASWA Basic (panel of expanded recycled glass granulate), BASWA Cool (with integrated capillary tubes for heating and cooling), BASWA Core (for concrete core activation) and BASWA DTG (fixed directly to a metal grid), with the finishes Base, Fine and Top as well as Casual and One. The systems are installed only by applicators trained and certified by BASWA, and a cleaning, repair and renovation concept covers the surfaces.

Description
BASWA Basic is a seamless acoustic plaster system on a panel of expanded glass granulate made from recycled glass. The panels are bonded to the ceiling or wall, sanded flat and coated with microporous BASWA plasters. The system is free of fibers and solvents, contains a high share of recycled material and has a stable, pressure-resistant surface. Basic One is the single-coat version and is quick to install; the Classic versions are two-coat systems. For horizontal ceilings and vertical walls on concrete, plastered surfaces or plasterboard, including humid rooms and weather-protected outdoor areas.
