Hunter Douglas Architectural (Europe) Acoustic Ceilings - Concrete Veneer
ACOUSTIC CEILINGS
ACOUSTIC CEILINGS - CONCRETE VENEER
Concrete is one of the most commonly used building materials in the built environment. Although incredibly versatile, concrete provides little in the way of sound absorption.
With our new concrete veneer it is now possible to create a stunning industrial look for ceilings without compromising on acoustics.
INFORMATION
APPLICATIONS
Concrete Veneer is suitable for use in many sectors, such as businesses, shops, leisure facilities, public buildings, hospitality, healthcare, education and residential.
DESIGN & INSPIRATION
The veneer is made up of at least 85% cement, making it indistinguishable from 'real' concrete. Wall panels come in five different shades and textures, which means you can always find a match for the space: a seamless concrete panel with unparalleled acoustic properties.
MATERIAL CHARACTERISTICS
Concrete Veneer is available as ceiling panels and consists of 16 mm fire-retardant MDF with a 1.5 mm cement veneer. The product is available in both perforated and non-perforated versions. In the case of the perforated version, a layer of acoustic non-woven material is also added to the product, permitting a high level of acoustic absorption.
USE

SUSTAINABILITY
HEALTH AND WELLBEING
Hunter Douglas contributes to sustainable buildings through aesthetic solutions that enhance comfort and save energy. Promoting health and wellbeing of their occupants is arguably the most important function of buildings. Buildings are not constructed just to be energy efficient. Our shading solutions promote the use of healthy daylight without the hindrances of glare and thermal discomfort. Our acoustic ceilings are a key element in the provision of acoustic comfort.
SOUND MATERIALS
Environmentally sound materials are key to sustainable buildings. Our strategy is to pick materials that have good environmental properties to start with. Many of our products are made of aluminum produced in our own smelters. We’ve optimized our processes to use up to 99% of recycled content to produce the right alloy for our products. Our wood is FSC certified and we embrace the Cradle to Cradle principle in our product development.
ENERGY SAVINGS
Reducing the energy use of the total building stock is key to the prevention of global warming. Most modern office buildings use more energy for cooling than heating. Effectively managing the solar energy that passes through the transparent part of the façade is a key strategy in the prevention of overheating in both old and new buildings. Our high performance shading solutions bring substantial energy savings, while at the same time promoting health and wellbeing.
CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPOCNSIBILITY
