Transparent acoustic solutions with strong impact

High-quality room acoustics improve well-being, focus and productivity. With our innovative acoustic panels, we combine sound absorption, transparency and design in a single product.

The panels consist of micro-perforated, light-transmitting facing sheets and a clear or colored honeycomb core. This combination enables effective sound absorption without compromising brightness and lightweight performance.

Benefits of Our Acoustic Solutions
  • Excellent sound absorption for pleasant and comfortable room acoustics
  • Transparency and light transmission for bright, open spaces

  • Custom design options in color, shape and finish

  • Durable and sustainable, thanks to high-quality materials and precise manufacturing

Acoustic products

Using a specialized bonding technology, honeycomb-like cores can be combined with translucent, micro-perforated face sheets to create panels with a unique appearance (light transmission of approx. 60%) and effective sound absorption.The elements offer a wide range of possibilities for customized acoustic solutions in terms of core design, geometry and special effects. Printed panels, formed shapes, special edge details and the production of ready-to-install systems are all possible.

AIR-board® acoustic

AIR-board acoustic is a double-sided sound-absorbing acoustic element with up to 85% sound absorption (sound absorber class C for wall and ceiling applications and class D when used as a freestanding partition). The elements significantly improve room acoustics by noticeably reducing reverberation.

  • Sound absorption (EN ISO 354):
    • Partitions αW / NRC: 0,30 / 0,30
    • Wall coverings αW / NRC: 0,70 / 0,70
  • Core types (clear / black):
    • standard 7 mm cell geometry
    • chaos 4/7/12 mm cell geometry
  • Standard dimension: 2.500/1.800 x 1.220 x 19/25 mm
  • Applications: Ceilings, Furniture, Walls & Partitions, Lighting concepts, Desk dividers,…

AIR-board® acoustic quiet

AIR-board® acoustic quiet features one micro-perforated face sheet and one closed face sheet. This configuration allows the panel to function as both sound-absorbing and sound-insulating (up to 28 dB), making it ideal for lining translucent partition walls.

  • Sound absorption (EN ISO 354):
    • Wall coverings αW / NRC: 0,30 / 0,35
    • Sound Insulation (EN ISO 10140-2): dB28
  • Core types (clear / black):
    • standard 7 mm cell geometry
    • chaos 4/7/12 mm cell geometry
  • Standard dimension: 2.500/1.800 x 1.220 x 20/26 mm
  • Application: Partition walls

Frequently asked questions about us and our products

Is thermal forming of the panels possible?

Yes. Thermally formed panels are available on request.

What is the fire resistance of the panels?

AIR-board acoustic complies with fire classification B-s1, d0.

Can the elements be used as partition walls or room dividers?

Yes. AIR-board acoustic quiet was specifically developed for this purpose. These elements provide sound insulation of up to 28 dB while simultaneously offering sound absorption with an NRC of 0.30. The standard version, by comparison, provides only approx. 6 dB of sound insulation.

How can a homogeneous lighting effect be achieved?

Backlighting is recommended; a satin finish ensures uniform light diffusion.

Which colors are available?

The standard version is clear / transparent.
Colors can be added afterwards using digital printing.

What is special about AIR-board acoustic elements?

They combine high light transmission with excellent sound absorption (NRC up to 0.70) and can be easily integrated into interior fit-out applications.

Can the panels be supplied with sealed edges?

Yes. Various edge-sealing options are available.

How much sound to the panels absorb?

A sound absorption level of NRC 0.7 can be reached if installed as a wall/ceiling covering.

Can AIR-board acoustic elements be used outdoors?

No. AIR-board acoustic elements are intended for indoor use only.

Are special formats available?

Yes. Special formats up to 3,600 × 1,220 mm and a thickness of up to 35 mm are available, subject to minimum order quantities.

What standard dimensions are available?

2,500 × 1,220 mm and 1,800 × 1,220 mm, available in thicknesses of 19 mm or 25 mm. Please refer to the relevant data sheet.
