3 Plank Configuration Finishes Solo-T Natural Wood Veneered Lift & Shift Acoustical Ceiling Panels Description 6 Plank Configuration Recommended Uses Ceilings Solo-T is an acoustical 24” x 24” (610mm x 610mm) wood panel product consisting of a perforated (NAF) medium density fire rated fiberboard (MDF) with a ribbed natural wood veneer laminated to the face and an acoustically transparent black mat laminated to the back side. Solo-T panels have two support rails permitting the lift and shift installation and removal of the panels. Safety clips ensure the panels do not dislodged. Solo-T panels install onto a heavy duty 15/16” (24mm) T-bar grid system. Features and Advantages • • • • Solo-T panels are easily installed using a “lift and shift” method. Concealed T-bar grid Provides acoustic absorption Can be stained or painted to match other finishes on a custom basis. Samples must be approved and signed off. See also "Stained Finishes" under Design Considerations. Additional Product Data ORDERING: Standard lead time is 4 weeks for most small to medium sized orders. Large projects may require longer lead times. SAMPLES: It is important that samples be approved based on the finished product and not just a sample of veneer. 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: Solo-T panels have an overall thickness of 21/32" (nom 16.5 mm) and weigh an average of 2-1/4 lbs. per sq. ft. (11kg/m2). SUGGESTED TOOLS: Traditional woodworking tools are suitable for cutting Solo-T. Decoustics recommends using large diameter chop saws or radial saws having a carbide blade with a sharp, thin-kerf, 80 tooth at 10" (254 mm) diameter - and alternating 40° bevel. Cut plank with face up to avoid scratching. Note: A traditional table saw would require the plank to be cut much slower to avoid tear-out or chipping. If cutouts are required for round fixtures, Decoustics recommends a router and template method using a quality spiral-down carbide flute cutting bit. INSTALLATION: Solo-T should be installed by qualified finish carpenters in accordance with the Millwork and Acoustical Sections of the specification. Lenga-T is installed onto a heavy duty 15/16” T-Bar grid system. Tools are not required for installation of panels. ENVIRONMENT: Solo-T panels must be stored, installed, and maintained only in a stable ambient environment (relative humidity of minimum 35% - maximum 55%, temperature to be maintained between 20 27ºC (68-80ºF)) Solo panels must be allowed to stabilize on site for 72 hours prior to installation. PROFILES: There are various design profiles available: 6 plank and 3 plank configuration panels with 5/8” (16mm) and 5/16” (8mm) grooving options. Solo-T is available in beech, cherry, maple, and ash. Custom veneer selections and paint can be accommodated. Standard veneer length is 120" (3050 mm); other lengths available upon request. Solo-T panels have a flame spread of 25 or less (Class A) when tested in accordance with ASTM E-84 and CAN-ULC S102. In its painted format, Solo-T panels are Class A as per ASTM E-84 with a flame spread of 25 or less. The lacquer finish applied is a fire retardant version. Limitations 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.
