Thanks to the application of advanced technology and acoustic theory, the WOODSORBA PRO range of timber acoustic panels has been developed. These panels are visually attractive due to the beauty of wood veneers as well as being easy to install. The panels decorate as well as provide a solution to reverberant noise levels inside buildings.

Since wood is a product of nature, the WOODSORBA PRO range of acoustic panels creates a naturally aesthetic solution to noise control. The unique features of the wood panels give a warm organic appearance offering a finish to compliment every area. Surface choices include real wood veneers, wood print laminates and paint finished timber acoustic panels.

WOODSORBA PRO panels are suitable for almost every application including use in schools, studios, reception areas, lecture theatres, offices and commercial buildings. WOODSORBA PRO panels are exceptionally durable and abuse resistant making them particularly appropriate for areas that may require a high degree of impact resistance such as sports and recreation halls, police interview rooms, factories and workshops.

Building Bulletin 93 (BB93) Regulations require mandatory acoustic absorption in school teaching areas as well as hallways and stairs in residential flats. These can be achieved by the use of WOODSORBA PRO acoustic panels.

Sports England requirements for noise reverberation time in sports halls are also met by fitting WOODSORBA PRO acoustic panels.

WOODSORBA PRO acoustic panels consist of a laminate finished surface, base core board and black acoustic fleece backing. The base core board is an 18mm thick MDF sheet with a finish laminated to its front face and black acoustic fleece adhered to its rear face. WOODSORBA PRO acoustic panels are manufactured with a tongue and groove joint. Thanks to the precision of the tongue and groove a perfect finish is achieved when WOODSORBA PRO is installed.

There are two standard face patterns for WOODSORBA PRO. One pattern is made up of a series of slats and the other pattern is made up of a series of round holes. Other face patterns are available upon request. Each panel has a machined tongue down one long edge and a machined groove down the other long edge. Each end is square edged.

Slatted Panels

Version A

These have longitudinal grooves, 3mm wide, machined along the length of the panel.

Version A has slots machined at every 32mm resulting in each slat being 29mm wide.

Version B has slots machined at every 16mm resulting in each slat being 13mm wide.

Round Holed Panels

Version C

These have circular holes machined over the face of the panel.

Version C has 6mm diameter holes.

Version D has 3mm diameter holes. The centre-to-centre distance between the holes is 16mm.

Woodsorba Pro is available in three different finishes:

Woodsorba Pro is one of the most advanced and efficient absorbing products available today for reducing reverberant noise levels in many environments. Panels are normally fixed onto 50mm battens.

(insulation tested below is 50mm thick, 50Kg/m³ density. A small difference in density (e.g. +/- 10Kg/m³) will not make a difference in the overall absorption).

Standard Nominal Sizes (mm)

Tolerances +/- 3mm.Other sizes are available upon request.

Fire Safety

WOODSORBA PRO standard panels meet BS 476 Class 3 fire rating. If special fire treatment is required, the real wood veneered panels can be treated with proprietary Intumescent varnish therefore upgrading the timber panels to Class 1 or Class 0 Surface Spread of Flame rating. Please contact our technical department for further information and to ensure the correct specification can be supplied.

Weight

Nominal panel weight: 10kg/m2.

Maintenance

WOODSORBA PRO panels are easy to maintain. The panels can be cleaned with non-abrasive cleaners, which are suitable for wood veneers.
