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 Natural is a seamless acoustic plaster system on a natural fiber panel. Hemp fiber acoustic panels with a pre-coating of recycled glass granulate are bonded to the ceiling or wall, sanded flat and coated with microporous BASWA plasters made with marble sand. The hemp is grown without herbicides, pesticides or fertilizers. Available as single-coat and two-coat systems. The two-coat systems (Classic) are used on curved surfaces and where light grazes the surface. For horizontal, inclined and vertical ceilings and walls as well as vaults, domes and other single or double curved and organic shapes, in projects that call for a renewable base material.
