Quadrillo Panel
2Pages

Description Quadrillo is a natural wood veneer finish. Acoustical absorption is achieved by a unique patented perforation technology in combination with Decoustics high performance acoustical cores. Panel edge conditions are available plain (unfinished), edge banded or fully framed with matching veneer finish. Panels can be mounted into existing millwork frames, or splined to create a monolithic appearance. Face frames of almost any width and profile can be created with a variety of corner details. Standard profiles: grooves 5mm o.c. and 10mm o.c. however other design profiles are available. (see Decoustics Madero brochure). When used as a monolithic panel system, kerfed edges with splines are used to level the panel faces. The reveal between the panels is 3 mm which simulates the v-groove on a panel having ribs at 5 mm centers. Installed carefully, surfaces can appear monolithic, however panel joints are not invisible due to the change in geometry of the panel edges. Quadrillo is available in nine different natural wood veneers. Matching and custom veneers can also be accommodated. When veneers are supplied by others, the minimum thickness is 0.6 mm. Limitations FIRE CLASSIFICATIONS: The veneer thickness is less than 1/28th” which is generally not used in rating the structure. The lacquer finish applied is a fire retardant version. The Quadrillo composite panel is currently “Class C” (per ASTME-84). - If Class A composite material is required, consider using Decoustics Solo products. Wood products are highly susceptible to changes in humidity and temperature. Close attention must be paid to acclimatization during installation, as per accepted millwork industry practice. Finishes Quadrillo ® U.S. Patent Nº. 5,024,290. European Patent Nº. EP 0388355 Recommended Uses Ceilings and walls. Available with Decoustics Ceilencio Custom ceiling suspension system (downward access) and other direct mount and suspended ceiling systems. Note: the use of curved panels on Ceilencio may be limited. Consult Decoustics for use criteria. The grooved Quadrillo facer is not available by itself as a finish for non-acoustical applications. The facer is designed to be used in a laminated or "sandwich" construction. Consult Decoustics for any non-acoustical application. Features and Advantages Available in both standard and custom sizes. Impressive sound control properties. Panels can be manufactured with grooves running horizontally or vertically. The grain and groove must be in the same direction. Consult Decoustics for maximum sizes. Quadrillo panels are available with a clear, natural lacquer or toned or tinted to match other finishes. "See Finishing" under Design Considerations. Quadrillo is also available in a painted version to match any color. Although the percentage of open area of Quadrillo is only approx. 4%, the patented v-grooves create a four sided "funnel" effect that allows sound to arrive at a variety of angles thereby focusing the transfer of energy over a broader surface area of absorption material. Additional Product Data ORDERING: As with most millwork process, Quadrillo is a longer lead time item and should generally be dealt with early in a project. Allow eight to ten weeks manufacturing time after all dimensions, veneer, samples and drawing approvals are provided. Custom matched or sequenced veneers may take longer and should be reviewed with DECOUSTICS in advance of ordering. SAMPLES: It is important that samples be approved based on the finished product and not just a sample of veneer only. Held close in hand, a dark veneer with a lighter groove could be quite evident but when viewed at a moderate distance, the color will appear as one. PANEL WEIGHT: Depending upon thickness and whether or not framed, generally a QPP-25 panel having an overall thickness of 1-3/8" (35 mm) weighs an average of 3.5 lbs. per sq. ft. (17.1 kg/m2). A QPP-50 panel thickness of 2-3/8" (60 mm) weighs an average of 5.5 lbs. per sq. ft. (26.85 kg/m2). Solid wood border frames can add significantly to these weights Acoustical core 35 mm 1 3/8” 25 mm 1” Internal frame Perforated back component Standard 5mm profile Quadrillo finish 5mm (3/16”) Patented V-Grooves 5mm (3/16”) 6mm (1/4”)
