So Why Sonofonic?
High Acoustic Performance
Sonofonic Acoustic Ceiling Panels are designed to provide a quiet, visually pleasing environment for interior spaces that may be otherwise difficult to utilise fully, simply because noise levels may be unacceptably high, or reverberation causes speech or audio to be hard to hear clearly. Sonofonic Panels consist of a lightweight fire resistant core with a cleanable, slightly textured paint finish. The panels are available with a variety of edge profiles to fit most available suspended ceiling grid systems. Typical applications include boardrooms, open plan commercial offices, lecture theatres and hospitality function rooms.
Features and Benefits
- Excellent sound absorption.
- First-rate surface finishes that are textured, cleanable and paint finish. There is a choice of three finishes.
- Light Reflectance: High (standard finish is flat white)
- Humidity, sag and moisture resistant.
- Designers can choose from a range of edge profiles to tailor the panels to the desired look.
- Lightweight (approx. 2.5 kg/m2 for 20mm thick panel).
- Fire Performance: British Standard BS476 Part 6&7 : Class 1 (Surface Spread of Flame)
Available Surfaces
Sonofonic Ceiling Panels are coated with a durable finish called Tonasorb™. This finish is available in three grades, 700 Microporous, 600 Embossed, and S101 Textile — each of which provides a different combination of subtle textured appearance and sound absorption performance.
Tonasorb gives Sonofonic Ceiling Panels a high impact, cleanable surface but allows sound waves through to be dissipated by the sound absorbing substrate. Tonasorb has a very high light reflectance for both incident daylight and internal lighting systems. Tonasorb finish is factory applied to the face and all exposed edges of the panels. The rear side of all Sonofonic panels is sealed with a non woven glass fibre scrim.
