Stone Acoustic Panel

SOUND OR NOISE
When children’s voices, music, and adult conversations need to coexist, it can be challenging to have a conversation. High ceilings and hard surfaces such as tiles, concrete, or glass cause sound to bounce back between walls and ceilings, resulting in echo and reverberation that can be highly irritating and tiring for the surroundings. Acoustic panels from FibroTech address this issue, providing not only good acoustics but also creating a comfortable and pleasant indoor environment. Additionally, they contribute to a warmer, cozier, and more Scandinavian aesthetic.

STONE Panels
A series of acoustic panels with a wide range of distinctive looks. Here you get a unique acoustic panel with a beautiful stone-effect finish. The STONE series is available in four variants, each with its own unique appearance, while offering exactly the same sound-absorbing benefits as the rest of our product range. This is a high-quality acoustic panel made with 9 mm MDF and designed to be slightly narrower than, for example, the PREMIUM series. The back of each panel features a 9 mm polyester backing made from recycled plastic, which provides excellent sound absorption. STONE Concrete, Rusty and Pattern can be installed in any room, except wet rooms or other areas where the panels may come into contact with water. STONE White Marble, however, can be installed in wet rooms with a humidity level below 55%. The White Marble surface is foil-wrapped on three sides and does not absorb moisture, making it suitable for bathrooms and other rooms that require frequent cleaning. However, it must not come into direct contact with water. The acoustic panels in the STONE series measure 0.70″ x 20.47″ x 96″ (18 × 520 × 2440 mm).

SOUND ABSORPTION
The long reverberation time in a room without acoustic solutions can be reduced using materials that are good at absorbing sound. This is most effective on larger surfaces such as walls and ceilings. Both will reduce the reverberation time when materials with high sound absorption, such as acoustic panels, are installed.

WHY FIBROTECH’S ACOUSTIC PANELS STOP SOUND
The narrow wood strips are mounted on an approximately 3/8″ (9,5mm) polyester board that does not reflect sound back, unlike a hard material would. It is FibroTech’s thick polyester backing that absorbs sound, improves the room’s acoustics, and makes all the difference. Moreover, its density is high, and the polyester is securely fastened with multiple clips, preventing loose ends. If you desire additional sound dampening (sound class A), you can install 1 3/4″ (44,5mm) (approx. 2″) mineral wool behind the panels.

FSC CERTIFIED
For Responsible Forestry FibroTech products are 100% FSC® certified, meaning the wood used comes from sustainable forests. There is no illegal logging, and threatened forest areas are not eradicated.

THE BLACK POLYESTER BACKING IS GREEN

INSTALLATION
Before you start installing your acoustic panels, there are a few things to be aware of. Firstly, always store them indoors. It’s essential for the panels to ventilate, allowing air to circulate to prevent moisture absorption. As a significant portion of the material in the panels is wood, they may emit a slight wood odor when brought into your home, like the scent of a new wooden floor. Therefore, it’s recommended to acclimatize the panels well before installation. Place them in the garage or shed for a couple of days, and afterward, the scent will diminish.

Acoustic panels from FibroTech can be installed on both walls and ceilings – horizontally or vertically, it’s entirely up to you. They can be secured with either screws or adhesive – or both.

Assembly with screws
If you wish to secure your acoustic panels with screws, you will need 15–18 black screws per panel. When framing, the distance should be approximately 2 3/8″ (60,3mm) (commonly rounded to 2 1/2″ spacing if needed). You screw the screws into the black polyester backing. This way, you won’t see them since the black screws are hidden against the black polyester. Always remember to ensure that the panels are level and perpendicular.

Assembly with adhesive
If you prefer to avoid screws, you also have the option to glue the acoustic panels using FibroTech’s mounting adhesive. In this case, the panels should be spot-glued on the back. This means applying several small amounts of adhesive around the polyester backing. The adhesive adheres with good strength immediately and becomes stronger as it cures. You can use the mounting adhesive on surfaces such as plaster walls, plaster ceilings, brick walls, plastered walls, and more. Ensure that the surface is always dry and clean before applying the adhesive. Also, make sure that the panels are level and perpendicular.

If the dimensions of the acoustic panel do not suit your specific purpose, they can easily be adjusted and cut from the back using a fine-toothed saw blade.
