The same veneer that is on the face of the Akupanel can be sold separately to highlight your design

Acoustical Rating:

Akupanel from Acoustical Art Concepts is an optimal solution for efficient sound absorption and lowering noise reverberation time. As seen in the graph below, the panel obtains a Noise Reduction Coefficient of 0.97 at a frequency of 1,000HZ. Loud speech and “regular” noise in the home is typically between 500-2,000HZ. The average Noise Reduction Coefficient within this frequency range is 0.66.

Fire Rating:

Each test is conducted in accordance with Standard ANSI/UL723 that determines the Surface Burning Characteristics of the material, specifically the flame spread and smoke developed indices when exposed to fire.
The core material of the PET and the wooden substrate materials are rated Class A. Please call for more information.

Recycled Materials:

Our PET polyester fiber panels are made from 50% recycled plastic and are 100% recyclable.

Cleaning:

PET: Spot clean using a mild water-free solvent, or dry cleaning product.
Slats/Facing: Wipe with a clean cloth and standard (non-clorine and non-amonia based) cleaner.
Clean only in a well ventilated room and avoid any product containing Carbon Tetra-chloride or other toxic materials. Do not use anything more abrasive than a cotton cloth on any part of the panel.

‍Please note: Common characteristics of natural wood veneers include variations in color, grain, texture, and figure. “End to end” alignment and matching of the veneer cannot be guaranteed from panel to panel. *This possible color variation is prominent in our real wood veneers. Standard PET backing and MDF slat color will be black. Other colors available upon request*
