Decoustics LightFrame

DECOUSTICS SEFAR LIGHTFRAME LIGHTFRAME is a translucent fabric ceiling and wall system that provides accessible panels with light transmission rates up to 83% and NRC values up to 0.9. The precision monolament fabric optimizes articial or natural light transfusion without color shift, giving an even illumination. Extremely narrow seams and an elliptic prole ensure illuminated surfaces are practically shadow-free. Unique nishing and coating techniques ensure a high UV durability without fading, while the materials remain extremely tough and long-lasting. All fabrics used in LightFrame panels...

The parameters governing the reection and absorption properties of a membrane directly inuence the light transmission (ASTM D1003) through it. PVDF is a high light transmitting uoropolymer deployed in photometric fabrics which permits a high...

Installation Details Single ourecent face mount xtures Threaded rod Steel angled frame Recommended minimum distance from light to panel is 457mm (18") for uorescent xtures and 152mm (6") for LED's. ETEF foil 80mm (3-1/8") PVDF fabric Metal ceiling Case Study: Building lobby The entrance hall and lobby of this building was designed to have an open and airy feel. This was achieved with a glass curtain wall at the front of the space and Decoustics’ LightFrame panels across the center of the room’s ceiling. The LightFrame panels achieve a standard of illumination not possible with other...

Photo: John Muggenborg / Muggphoto Case Study: Audi Manhattan Dealership The architect wanted to create the look of lighted glass walls and ceilings when transforming a 256,000 square foot former Manhattan GM dealership into a modern Volkswagen and Audi showroom. The lighted surfaces needed to be sound-absorbent though in order to counteract sound-reective surfaces in the room. Decoustics’ LightFrame system created modular, accessible panels which were custom engineered to t the space. The wall and ceiling panels were aligned to maintain continuous lines through the horizontal and vertical...
