Design requirements
AO-Gami™ is an innovative light weight open cell decorative acoustic ceiling finish designed for commercial interiors. The ‘acoustic paper’ is formed into tubes, grouped into modules and suspended from tensioned horizontal catenary wires with proprietary suspension hooks. AO-Gami™ helps diffuse light in a soft and translucent way and has been used successfully under illuminated coffers and beneath sky lights and glazed conservatories. It is available in module diameters of 150/250/350mm, they are intermixed to create a random pattern across the ceiling. Lighting or other services can be disguised above the ceiling.
Installation requirements
Installation shall not commence until the building is water
tight and dry. Acoustic cylinders are supplied in modules
and as loose individual infill cylinders. Hole punch the side
of a module cylinder to align with cable above. Use
Ao-Gami connector clips and clip to tensioned lateral
support cables to form organic arrangements as desired.
Use single infills to make up gaps. Site glue fix infills in
place with water based PVA adhesive.
Maintenance requirements
Minimal maintenance is required but can be cleaned with a vacuum, soft brush or damp cloth. Scuff marks can be removed by light use of fine grade sandpaper.
