Crafted from a core of wood fiber, Portland cement, and water, these panels are a testament to natural and sustainable materials. They offer excellent sound absorption properties (NRC 0.45 – 0.95, varying with thickness and mounting) and are available in thicknesses of 25mm, 35mm, and 50mm, with custom thickness options available. Standard sizes range from 610 x 610 mm to 610 x 1220 mm, with custom sizes also offered. The bevelled edges provide a subtle yet impactful visual detail. Edge finishes include Primed Clear, Primed White, and Painted options, with a wide range of standard and custom colours to choose from. Installation is designed for direct attachment using various mounting methods (A, C-25, C-50, and D-25).

Understanding Acoustic Bevelled Wood Wool Panels:

1. What are acoustic bevelled wood wool panels?
   • They are sound-absorbing panels made from compressed wood fibers (wood wool) with a binder, formed into square or rectangular shapes, and featuring angled (bevelled) edges.
2. How do the bevelled edges affect acoustic performance?
   • The bevelled edges primarily contribute to the aesthetic appearance by creating defined lines and shadow effects between panels. They have a minimal direct impact on the sound absorption properties of the wood wool material itself.
3. What are the primary benefits of using acoustic bevelled wood wool panels?
   • Excellent sound absorption, natural and textured appearance, the added visual interest of the bevelled edge, good thermal insulation, fire resistance (depending on the binder), durability, and often sustainable material composition.
4. Where are acoustic bevelled wood wool panels commonly used?
   • Offices, classrooms, restaurants, cafes, studios, home theaters, retail spaces, and any interior where noise control and a refined, textured aesthetic are desired. The bevelled edge adds a touch of design sophistication.
5. What are acoustic bevelled wood wool panels made from?
   • Typically, they consist of shredded wood fibers (often sustainably sourced) and a binder, most commonly Portland cement, but sometimes other mineral binders like magnesium oxide.
6. What are the different types of bevelled edges available on wood wool panels?
   • Common bevel types include a simple 45-degree bevel, a micro-bevel (a very small angle), and sometimes more complex or custom bevel profiles.
7. What are the standard sizes of acoustic bevelled wood wool panels?
   • Common square sizes include 600x600mm, while rectangular sizes like 1200x600mm are also popular. Thicknesses typically range from 15mm to 50mm. The bevel detail is applied to these standard dimensions.
8. How do acoustic bevelled wood wool panels affect the acoustics of a room?
   • Like standard wood wool panels, they provide broadband sound absorption, reducing reverberation time and improving speech clarity across a wide range of frequencies due to the porous nature of the wood wool.

Selecting and Specifying Acoustic Bevelled Wood Wool Panels:

1. How do I choose the right acoustic bevelled wood wool panels for my space?
   • Consider the room’s function, noise levels, desired acoustic performance (NRC), the overall aesthetic you want to achieve with the bevelled edges, and any fire safety or sustainability requirements.
2. Does the bevelled edge affect the NRC rating compared to a square-edged panel of the same material and thickness?
   • The bevelled edge has a negligible impact on the NRC rating. The sound absorption is primarily determined by the wood wool material and panel thickness.
3. How do I calculate the quantity of acoustic bevelled wood wool panels needed?
   • The calculation is the same as for any acoustic panel: it depends on the room’s volume, existing absorptive materials, and the target reverberation time. Acoustic consultants or online calculators can assist.
4. Can acoustic bevelled wood wool panels be used on both walls and ceilings?
   • Yes, they are suitable for both applications. The bevelled edges can create interesting visual patterns and definition on both surfaces.
5. What are the common mounting methods for acoustic bevelled wood wool panels?
   • They can be directly screwed to a surface, installed on a T-grid ceiling system, adhered with construction adhesive, or used with specialized clips or mounting hardware. The bevelled edge needs to be considered for seamless alignment.
6. Are acoustic bevelled wood wool panels available in different colors?
   • Yes, while they have a natural wood tone, they can also be painted in a wide range of colors to match specific design schemes. The bevelled edges will highlight the chosen color.

Installation and Maintenance:

1. How are acoustic bevelled wood wool panels installed to emphasize the bevelled edge?
   • Precise alignment during installation is key to creating the desired visual effect of the bevelled edges. Consistent spacing between panels can also enhance the shadow lines created by the bevels.
2. Can acoustic bevelled wood wool panels be cut, and how does it affect the bevel?
   • Yes, they can be cut, but the cut edge will lose the bevel. If cutting is necessary, the cut edge is usually placed against a wall or another panel where the lack of a bevel is less noticeable.
3. How do I clean and maintain acoustic bevelled wood wool panels?
   • Regular vacuuming with a soft brush attachment is typically sufficient for dust removal. Light stains can sometimes be carefully wiped with a slightly damp cloth, but avoid excessive moisture. The bevelled edges might trap dust more easily.

Purchasing and Cost:

1. Where can I purchase acoustic bevelled wood wool panels?
   • They are available from Gitco.
2. How does the cost of acoustic bevelled wood wool panels compare to standard square-edged panels?
   • The cost is usually similar to standard square-edged wood wool panels of the same material and thickness. The bevelled edge typically doesn’t add a significant price premium.
3. Can I get custom bevelled edges on wood wool panels?
   • Gitco offers custom bevel profiles or angles depending on the project requirements and volume. It’s best to inquire directly with suppliers about customization options.
