Akutile Specifications

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*                              

Specifications:

  • Size: 23 5/8” x 23 5/8”
  • Thickness: 20mm (23 5/8” x 23 5/8” x 13/16” )
