Texaa Vibrasto acoustic cladding

EPD availableWallCeiling

Description

Vibrasto is a stretched acoustic cladding. Its facing, Aeria knitted fabric laminated onto thin wadding, is stretch-fitted between battens in front of an absorber fixed to the substrate. The three systems Vibrasto 15, 30 and 55 differ in the absorber behind it. The flexible facing covers large walls and ceilings as one surface with fine pencil-line joins, follows convex and concave shapes and can clad furniture. Vibrasto 15 saves depth; the thicker systems suit strongly reverberant rooms. Battens give clean edges around lights, loudspeakers and vents, and stretched Aeria can be added for see-through areas.
