Acoustic Backing & Sound Installation

Acoustic backing panels can be 12mm (0.40 NRC) or 25mm (0.60 NRC) and are incorporated into the system for great NRC performance. They also reduce costs as they can replace the need for alternative wall & ceiling lining.

The acoustic panels have a Group 1 (Aus) and Group 1S (NZ)  fire rating and are available in the range of colours shown.

Alternatively, acoustic blanket is recommended for achieving up to 0.95 NRC

Polyester Colours
Finishing

All battens are finished in the factory. Featurecraft clear flat varnish is our standard finish

Some white wash & stains are available if matching to other finishers is required. Please contact us today.

Painted options are also available  eg Matte Black paint on black MDF. Other colors available on request. Contact us today.
