Description Claro is a coated finish that is specifically formulated to provide acoustical transparency and exhibits a very white flat painted gypsum board/plaster appearance. The finish is applied to both the panel face and edges. Specified as CSW-100 for a standard white. Claro can also be custom colored to match Pantone and other type paint chips. Design Considerations Panel Size: 48" x 72" (1220 mm x 1830 mm) is largest size recommended by Decoustics. Panels larger than this are susceptible to coating damage during handling and installation. Consult Decoustics for larger size availability for specific applications. Maintenance Can be cleaned using water or recommended cleaners. Refer to "Claro Cleaning & Maintenance Instructions" for specific data. Painting will significantly reduce acoustical absorption, and may also affect panel finish integrity and fire flamespread performance. The Claro finish itself cannot be field applied. The finish is factory applied in a strictly controlled environment and method, however, small scratches or blemishes can be touched up in the field.
