Ceilings Substrate Custom Curved VAULT Description Panel Z-clip 1/8” Defined joint Metal edge Finish Clip Decoustics acoustically absorptive panels provide architects and designers with vaulted ceilings without the problems of sound focusing and reflection normally associated with traditional hard surface finishes such as gypsum board, plaster, glass reinforced gypsum (GRG), fiber reinforced polyester (FRP), or wood. Vault Shaped panels consist of factory precurved units having one radius throughout the curve. A single panel can span the vault or multiple panels may be used depending on vault width and panel size limitations. 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. Panels Concealed aluminum edge required for defined joint Defined Joint 1/8” - 3/16” (3mm- 8mm) Defined joint Closure strip Field installed into resin spots or concealed aluminum edge Resin edges and spots Matching or contrasting finish Closed Reveal Reveal Options for indirect lighting Support angle to suit Mounting Methods Pre-curved vault panels can be installed using the following Decoustics ceiling systems: 1. Span (upward accessible, with 1/8” defined, closed reveal or open reveal panel joints). 2. Direct Mount (progressively accessible, with defined, closed reveal or open reveal panel joints). 3. Direct To Suspended Frame/Grid (progressively accessible with defined, closed reveal or open reveal panel joints). …cont’d All Decoustics panels are custom fabricated and offered in a variety of types, sizes, thicknesses and finishes. Limitations Minimum radius is currently 24" (610 mm). Contact Decoustics regarding availability of smaller radii. Design Considerations Metal edges are preferred for consistent joint detail and alignment. The panels alone can form the vault without the need for a vaulted substrate. If, however, a vaulted substrate already exists, panels can be directly mounted to it. Depending on panel radius and thickness, exposed darting along curved edges may result with some fabric finishes which may or may not be prominent. Darting will always be visible with vinyl finishes. Contact Decoustics for specific information. Under certain lighting conditions, depending on panel radius and finish, manufacturing "ridge" lines may be visible. Contact Decoustics for best finishes to use with specific lighting. Handling and installing pre-curved panels requires considerable care and preplanning. Ensure selected panel size will fit through doorways, into elevators and similar spaces.
