Manufacturer
BVS Akustik
BVS Akustik GmbH & Co. KG from Verl (East Westphalia) has been active in the furniture industry since 1990 and produces custom acoustic panels with CNC saws, purpose-built drilling lines and an in-house laser system. Almost all board materials are processed: solid wood, veneered, composite and decor boards, each cut, edge-finished and lacquered to the customer's specification. The range covers drilled (AKUSTIbohr), micro-perforated (AKUSTIpur), slotted (AKUSTIpan) and sound-absorbing partition elements (AKUSTItrenn), each in numerous hole patterns and build-up depths. The elements are available in fire classes B1 and B2 and, for sports halls, with certified ball-impact resistance. References include Princeton University, NYU and the Emser Therme.
Description
AKUSTItrenn is a partition and screen element from BVS, micro-perforated on both sides, made from a double-sided acoustic wood-fibre insulation board with an integrated insulation layer. The visually calm micro-perforation on both sides is produced with hole diameters of 0.04 in (standard) through 0.06 and 0.08 to 0.1 in as well as grids from 0.16 to 0.31 in and a staggered 0.24/0.12 in grid. The integrated insulation layer removes the need to build up multi-layer partitions by hand; direct edge banding produces high-quality components with predictable absorption values. The edge-free perforation allows precise cuts for demanding geometries and the integration of glazing, doors, switches and other components, while reinforced edge sections for fittings as well as cuts and cut-outs are possible directly on site. The entire panel build-up is bonded formaldehyde-free to the NAF standard and is therefore low in emissions. Elements are produced up to 119 in. in length and 51 in. in width with margin widths to order and are suited to fixed and mobile interior fit-out as well as exhibition construction. Acoustically, AKUSTItrenn works through the interplay of the micro-perforation on both sides with the wood-fibre insulation behind it, which damps the sound inside the element and keeps both sides of the room absorbent. The sound absorption coefficient is determined in the reverberation room per EN ISO 354 and rated per EN ISO 11654; for design work the full third-octave curve matters alongside the single-number rating. In addition, the sound insulation of the element is documented as the weighted sound reduction index Rw per EN ISO 10140-2, so the component addresses both the reverberation time in the room and sound transmission between the separated areas.
