Decoustics Wood Ceiling and Wall Systems

Enhancing any space with the natural beauty of wood has never been easier with
Decoustics line of premium acoustical wood ceiling and wall products. From the
premium Quadrillo panels to the simple lines of Linear Wood and Grille, Decoustics
has a solution for any room situation.

Architects and designers rely on Decoustics ability to manufacture products which meet
the highest of standards, ensuring that their designs match their visions.

Environmental Commitment
By using natural wood veneers with a Medium Density no-added formaldehyde (MDF)
core instead of solid wood, Decoustics provides more sustainable product with better
dimensional stability. Decoustics uses low VOC emitting cores and lacquers for
improved indoor air quality.

Quadrillo
Quadrillo is an acoustical wood panel for use in ceiling or wall applications. The
sandwiched wood panel is constructed with a high-performance no-added urea
formaldehyde core within an engineered composite wood frame.

Quadrillo is a fully-engineered product and can be completely customized to suit

specific project requirements. The panels are available in sizes up to 3 x 5 (914mm x
1524mm) and can be curved to an outside radius of 32 (800mm). Quadrillo is available
in a large range of natural wood veneers, stains or paint finishes.

Quadrillos acoustical absorption is achieved through unique perforations combined

with an acoustical core. The percentage of open area is approximately four percent; the
v-grooves create a four sided funnel that allows sound to arrive at a variety of angles,
focusing the transfer of energy over a broader surface area of absorption.

Fire Classification
Quadrillo, Solo-M, Fori, Solo-T, Solo and Linear Wood and Grille carry a Class A flame spread as per ASTM E84.

Climate Conditions
Decoustics wood products must be stored, installed and maintained in a stable ambient environment (humidity min. 35% - max. 55%,
temperature not to exceed 27C/80F). Panels and planks must be allowed to acclimatize on site for 72 hours prior to installation.

Specifications - Ceilings
When wood products are used for a ceiling application it is recommended to be specified in the specialty acoustics ceiling-Division 9.
This will allow an experienced ceiling contractor to install Decoustics wood ceilings direct to substrate or with one of many different
Decoustics engineered systems.

Specifications - Walls
When Decoustics wood products are located in conjunction with millwork and non-acoustic panels, it is highly recommended that it be
specified in the millwork section-Division 6. This will enable better design and installation control where veneer sourcing and finishing
can be better coordinated.
