INNOVATIVE CONCRETE VENEER ACOUSTIC WALL PANELS CREATE INDUSTRIAL LOOK

CMS Danskin Acoustics has launched an innovative new concrete veneer wall panel to provide an ‘on trend’ industrial look combined with acoustic benefits for commercial interiors, such as hotel lobbies, retail outlets and exhibition and meeting spaces.

Xapa, pronounced shapa and meaning veneer in Catalan, is a routed slat, PET felt sound absorber panel faced with a decorative, authentic concrete veneer.  It is a lightweight alternative to solid concrete walls, providing a fashionable concrete appearance, without the reverberation issues associated with hard wall surfaces.

Xapa panels are available in smooth or travertine finishes, both in a range of four colours – taupe, charcoal, light travertine and dark travertine.

“There are concrete-look, vinyl covered panels on the market, but Xapa is different.  It has a concrete veneer that feels and looks like concrete, because it is concrete,” said Andy Turner of CMS Danskin Acoustics’ product development team.

“Solid concrete walls present reverberation issues, making spaces noisy even to the extent of making conversation or concentration difficult.  Xapa gives the desired minimalist concrete look with the benefit of good acoustic performance,” he added.

Xapa is available in two standard thicknesses – 14mm or 26mm, offering a choice of acoustic performance.  Used with a CMS Danskin Acoustics coreboard, Xapa achieves up to Class A sound absorption.  CMS Danskin Acoustics provides a free reverberation calculation service as well as full technical and on-site support.

The Xapa concrete veneer panel is one of a range of veneered acoustic panels being developed by CMS Danskin Acoustics.  CMS Danskin Acoustics products also include a timber veneered slat acoustic wall panel, also in a range of colours.
