Custom Curved
S-SHAPED OR WAVE PANEL DESCRIPTION
Decoustics acoustical
design panels provide architectsand designers with wide latitude in curvilinear
design. S-Shape or Wave pre-curved ceiling panels are a unique way to create dramatic
visual expression without the problems of sound
focussing and reflection normally associated with
traditional hard surface finishes such as gypsum
board, plaster, glass reinforced gypsum (GRG),
fiber reinforced polyester (FRP), or wood. Panels consist of two-dimensional pre-curved
units that utilize one or two radii (inside and outside) throughout the curve. Interesting visuals
are possible due to the distinctive shapes that can
be achieved with these panels.
A variety of mounting methods can be employed
depending on plenum access requirements, available substrate, plenum clearance, and panel
joint preference. e.g. defined, closed reveal or
open reveal. 7/8” furringchannel Suspension(by others) 16 GA 4”x1-1/2”
curved track Panel clip, screwed to or
engaged on furring channel
PANELS
All Decoustics panels are custom fabricated and
offered in a variety of types, sizes, geometric
shapes, thicknesses and finishes. Typical joints
LIMITATIONS
Minimum radius is currently 24" (610 mm).
Contact Decoustics regarding availability of
smaller radii.
DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS
The panels alone can form the S-Shape or Wave
without the need for a curved substrate. If, however, a curved substrate already exists, panels can be directly mounted to it.
Depending on panel radius and thickness,
exposed darting at corners may result with some
design fabric finishes. Darting will always be visible with vinyl finishes. Contact Decoustics for
specific information.
It is recommended that curved panels have joints
where the radius changes from inside to outside.
Extruded aluminum metal edges are preferred
for joint detail alignment and handling. Contact Decoustics for best finishes to use with
specific lighting.
MOUNTINGMETHODS
Pre-curved S-Shape or Wave panels can be installed using the following Decoustics
ceiling systems:
1. Span (Perimeter supported,upward accessible,with defined,closed (refer to datasheet “Custom Curved - Vault Shape”for diagram details) reveal or open joints).2. Direct Mount (progressively accessible,only with defined,closed reveal or openreveal joints).3. Direct To Suspended Frame/Grid (progressively accessible with defined,closedreveal or open reveal joints).4. Suspended Reveal (Floating panels,with open reveal joints).
5. Accessible Reveal ( upward accessible,with minimum reveal joints).
6. Ceilencio Custom (downward accessible,with defined joints).
7. Lay-In (upward accessible,with exposed suspension grid). Note: Field cutting of panels is possible but not recommended. e-mail: sales@decoustics.com
