DESCRIPTION Decoustics acoustically absorptive panels provide architects and designers with conical ceilings without the problems of sound focussing and reflection normally associated with traditional hard surface finishes such as gypsum board, plaster, glass reinforced gypsum (GRG), fiber reinforced polyester (FRP), or wood. Cone Shape panels consist of complex, two-dimensional pre-curved sections having a variable radius throughout the curve. Conical ceilings are made up of multiple, precisely engineered panels. A variety of mounting methods can be employed depending on plenum access requirements, available substrate, plenum clearance, and panel joint preference. e.g. defined, closed reveal or open reveal. PANELS All Decoustics panels are custom fabricated and offered in a variety of types, sizes, geometric shapes, thicknesses and finishes. LIMITATIONS Minimum radius is 24" (610 mm). DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS The panels alone can form the cone without the need for a conical substrate. If, however, a conical substrate already exists, panels can be directly mounted to it. Depending on panel radius and thickness, exposed darting along the edges may result with some fabric finishes which may or may not be prominent. However, darting is minimized when using Decoustics standard fabrics. Contact Decoustics for specific information. Darting will always be visible with vinyl finishes. Under certain lighting conditions, depending on panel radius and finish, manufacturing "ridge" lines may be visible. Contact Decoustics for best finishes to use with specific lighting.
