What is NRC and what NRC do grooved wood panels achieve?

NRC (Noise Reduction Coefficient) is the average sound absorption at 250, 500, 1000 and 2000 Hz (ASTM C423). Our grooved wood patterns range from NRC 0.55 (decorative, wide spacing) to NRC 0.95 (very dense pattern, full acoustic treatment).

What is the difference between the 8 grooved patterns?

Each pattern is named [spacing in mm]-[groove width in mm]. Wider spacing (like 59-5) keeps a decorative wood look with lower absorption. Tighter spacing (like 5-3 or 13-3) increases the punching rate to 12-19% and pushes NRC to 0.90-0.95 — full acoustic treatment level.

What thickness and panel size are available?

Standard panel: 133 mm x 2440 mm. Two thickness options: 15 mm and 18 mm. Custom sizes on project order.

How are grooved acoustic panels installed?

Three methods: direct adhesive on solid walls, framework with hidden clips on stud walls (cavity for added absorption), or suspended track for ceilings. We install professionally across Saudi Arabia.

Are grooved wood panels fire rated?

Fire rating depends on the substrate and finish selected. Fire-resistant MDF substrate with FR melamine reaches B-s1, d0 (EN 13501-1) or A2-s1, d0 (GB 8624-2012) — please specify project requirement at quotation.

Quick Answers

What is NRC and which pattern gives the highest?

NRC is the average absorption at 250, 500, 1000 and 2000 Hz (ASTM C423). Our patterns range from NRC 0.55 (decorative 59-5) to NRC 0.95 (dense 5-3, maximum absorption).

What is the difference between the 8 patterns?

Each pattern name = [groove spacing] - [groove width] in mm. Wide patterns (59-5, 40-3) keep a decorative wood look with lower absorption. Dense patterns (13-3, 5-3) reach 12-19% punching rate with NRC 0.90-0.95.

What sizes and thicknesses are available?

Standard panel: 133 × 2440 mm. Thickness: 15 mm or 18 mm. Custom sizes on project order.

What wood and finish options are available?

All wood options on request — natural veneers (Oak / Walnut / Maple / Beech / Wenge / Ash), melamine in multiple colours, painted, or raw for site finish.

Are the panels fire rated?

Yes — rating depends on the chosen substrate and finish. B-s1, d0 (EN 13501-1) standard · A2-s1, d0 available where the project requires.

How are they installed?

Three methods: (1) direct adhesive on solid walls, (2) framework + hidden clips on stud walls (with optional cavity insulation), (3) suspended ceiling for soffits. We install professionally across Saudi Arabia.

Can I request a sample before ordering?

Yes — contact us by WhatsApp or phone and we will send a physical sample of the chosen pattern and finish so you can assess texture and colour before committing.
