Acoustic Absorption
Principle of the acoustic absorption: Incident acoustic energy on the walls are divided in energy transmitted, reflected energy and absorbed acoustic energy. According to the nature of the walls of the room, it is possible to influence the quantity of absorbed energy and thus reflected the aptitude of a material to be absorbed is evaluated using the absorption coefficient Alpha Sabine.

Massive Ceilings
Click here for product specification BASWAphon acoustics systems have been tried, tested and proven to be ideal for this application thanks to a minimal loss in ceiling height, the additional thermal insulation, the system’s seamlessness, all combined with exceptional acoustics.
When dealing with already existing ceilings (abrasion, coat of paint), the adhesive strength ought to be determined in advance. Should it be less than 250 N/m², the background has to be strengthened by an insulation liquid suitable for the existing coating and/or an additional mechanical fastening has to be placed on the glued supporting panels with BASWA metal clips.
Otherwise, the supporting panels’ entire surface is glued on the dust-free and forming-oil-free cement ceiling with the adhesive suited for the background. Casing offsets larger than 3 mm have to be leveled out in advance. -
Formation of expansion joints
Click here for product specification When confronted with large surfaces, the formation of dilatations may become necessary based on the specific characteristics of the object in question and the work sequence of the construction. When following the principle shown, no air circulation can take place in the vicinity of the hollow space, explaining why partial soiling can be ruled out.
-
Installation of recessed lights BASWAphon-IP
Click here for product specification Openings for recessed lights can be made by means of a carpet knife, crown bit or saw after completion of the final coating.
In order to conceal damage done to the edge during installation or maintenance, the masking ring should have a width of a minimum of 1 cm. The lights have to be fastened to the solid background or substructure, respectively. We do not recommend merely laying installations on the fiber panels.
If however recessed lights are installed with a narrow masking ring or with a spring system, a metal case or a BASWAphon installation platform (BASWAphon IP) must be built in, in lieu of the elastic mineral fiber panel.
All panel’s front faces, penetrations are to be hermetically sealed by means of a PE-band or a coat of gypsum plaster board. By doing so, partial soiling, which can take place as a result of panel airflow, can be prevented.
-
Wall connection with severance strips
Click here for product specification In order to prevent fissuring, all BASWAphon acoustic surfaces ought to be separated from bordering surfaces and objects in the vicinity such as curtain rod tracks, tubular feed-throughs, embresures, etc. with a BASWA tape joint. In addition to what is shown on the diagram, the severance strip can also be cleanly cut only after completion of the BASWAphon top surface.
-
Wall connection with a Swedish cut
Click here for product specification Due to higher mechanical oscillations or expansion coefficients (with respect to air humidity), respectively, when dealing with connections on dry walls or wooden walls, we highly recommend choosing a 2 to 3 mm Swedish cut.
-
Wall connection with shadow gaps
Click here for product specification Individual shadow gaps can of course also be filled according to the diagram.
-
Increasing mechanical stability by incorporating a net
The BASWAphon acoustics system can also be used for projection purposes, that are overhead projectors, movie and slide presentations. The application of the system on wall is similar to ceiling application. As an alternative, a white synthetic reinforcement net can either be partially or entirely embedded when the first foundation layer is being applied (BASWAphon – 407). This helps increase system stability. However, additional reinforcement may cause absorption to be somewhat diminished.
-
Increasing mechanical stability by means of curtain walling
Maximum mechanical stability of specific exposed areas can be attained by applying curtain walling made out of mineral building material. This is then covered by the acoustically effective surface, thereby creating a seamless wall. The transition region between the curtain walling and the BASWAphon supporting panel ought to be reinforced with a net in order to prevent the formation of fissures.
-
Inserting edge protection
Click here for product specification Untreated aluminum or metal profiles are not suitable for filling edges. When using aluminum, for instance, gray streaks may be caused by the abrasion when the coating is being applied. Metal profiles may leave color residue when applying thin layers. In order to grant material homogeneity, we recommend the use of BASWAphon synthetic edge protection profiles (BASWAphon – KS, Art.Nr. a027) when filling edges.
-
Edge filling with an angle section
Click here for product specification In lieu of BASWA-KS, an appropriate angle section made out of stove-enamel sheet metal, chrome steel or the white synthetic material BASWAphon-end section can also be used. This can be an advantage when having to clean lateral air evacuation ducts or to provide protection from mechanical damage.
-
Side filling with gypsum skirt
Click here for product specification The side of light shafts is often covered with gypsum plaster board. The diagram shows a suggestion for how to fill the edge without making a severance. This calls for optimal dry construction. In order to rule out any fissures between the fiber panel and the bottom view of the ceiling, we recommend making severance cut.

Suspended Ceilings
In order to avoid partial soiling of the surface and in order to uphold the fire resistance class F30, the system requires a closed ceiling sub-structure. A standard suspended system made out of metal tracks can be used for sub-structure. Wooden sub-structures are not recommendable due to possible fissures as a result of long-term deformation. As a suspension basis for the BASWAphon – construction, a solid, 12.5 mm plaster board or plaster fiber panel covering ought to be chosen. (When constructing in humid rooms, such as swimming pools, the choice of sub-structure must be determined on the basis of building physics.) In order to avoid partial soiling of the surface, the butt joints have to be levelled out. If a pressure differential over the ceiling application cannot be ruled out, a large opening, which can be concealed with a loudspeaker cloth, should be formed. The surface of the suspended ceilings must be dry and free of any dust particles. The pre-coated supporting panels are glued entirely on the smoothed plaster board ceiling with a gypsum based adhesive. Additional mechanical fastening is not necessary.

RPG
Diffusors (or diffusers) are used to treat sound aberrations in rooms such as echoes. They are an excellent alternative or complement to sound adsorption because they do not remove sound energy, but can be used to effectively reduce distinct echoes and reflections while still leaving a live sounding space.
-
Problem and Solution
Problem: Interfering reflections that degrade intelligibility, gain before feedback, and music quality can be controlled by absorption and diffusion. Since commercial surfaces that provided uniform diffusion over a wide frequency range and for all angles of incidence were not available, absorption was used solely to control reflections. This treatment created “dead” spaces. Solution: In 1983, RPG introduced the first commercial QRD diffusor, based on mathematical number theory. Now a predictable diffusive surface treatment is readily available.
-
Performance Specifications
Diffusor: Compared to a flat reflector panel, the ORD 374 offers significant diffusion above the diffraction limit of 565 Hz, which is equal to the speed of sound (1130ft/sec) divided by the 2’ dimension of the panel. As the frequency increases above 565 Hz, the graph indicates how the reference reflector becomes more and more specular, whereas the ORD 734 provides a uniform diffusivity. Absorption: The wooden ORD 734 or plexiglass diviewsor contribute minimal absorption. The low cost Kydex Formedffusor is designed to provide additional low frequency absorption.

Automatic Door Buttons
The advance technology common to all of our automatic door bottoms utilizes a concealed flat spring mechanism, which activates when the door is closed, lowering a neoprene seal insert firmly against the floor or saddle. Triggered by a protruding, hinge-side “plunger” that is compressed by the frame as the door closes, the spring activates, dropping the seal in a patented scissor-like motion from a pivoting point. This motion ensures a smooth drop without drag and a tight seal, even on an uneven floor. As the neoprene seal compresses, it forms a tight, secure bond against the saddle or floor. The seal retracts automatically as the door is opened.
