Specifying Art Diffusion The Art Diffusion product offers the customer an extremely broad variety of patterns, materials, finishes and installation choices. In order to translate a customer requirement into an accurate product specification, it is important to understand all of the product options and terms used to describe these options. Product specification terms and options are discussed are discussed below along with helpful illustrations. A product specification form is included at the end of this section. It is important to first select a core material based on specific project needs, such as contribution towards "Leed" credits, Class A fire rating, formaldehyde emissions or moisture resistance. Core materials are available to fit most special needs such as radius or serpentine installations, opaque wall dividers or exterior applications. Not all core materials are available in all sizes and patterns. Consult the material matrix to dtermine standard thickness and sheet size for each individual core. Core material options Arreis -SDF SierraPine, the leader in sustainable and environmentally preferable composite panels for nearly two decades is proud to announce the introduction of a new breed of No-Added Formaldehyde medium density fiberboard...Arreis. Engineered to meet the growing demand for sustainable products, Arreis SDF, also known as Sustainable Design Fiberboard, has the same performance characteristics of standard MDF yet is produced with a formaldehyde-free adhesive system and 100% post-ndustrial recycled wood fiber. Arreis contributes to the following LEED Credits: - Materials & Resources (4.1, 4.2, 5.1, 5.2) - Indoor Environmental Quality (4.4) Medite - FR2 SierraPine's flame retardant Medite FR2 is designed for applications where Class 1 flame retardant material is required. FR2 leads the industry with its low flame spread and smoke development. This panel is also SCS certified for 100% recovered and recycled wood fiber content. Medite FR2 is used in schools, libraries, hospitals, theatres, office buildings, public buildings, medical facilities, laboratories and museums. Use Medite FR2 for your next LEED building project and achieve Credits for Material & Resources (4.1 & 4.2 and 5.1 & 5.2) Medite- 3D Medite 3D is the superior choice for multi-level machining applications because of it strength and consistent core. It can be laminated or painted for a beautiful finish. Medex Medex is an SCS certified, no-added formaldehyde, moisture resistant MDF panel engineered for interior high moisture areas. Used in place of sanded plywood and solid wood in non-structural applications, Medex gives you the versatility of a composite panel with the emissions of solid wood. Use Medex for your next LEED building project and achieve Credits for Material & Resources (4.1 & 4.2 and 5.1 & 5.2) and Indoor Environmental Quality (4.4) CelTec Celtec Displayboard is a foamed polyvinyl chloride (PVC) sheet whose extraordinary combination of features makes it ideal for signage, exhibits, store displays, POP, Kiosks, screen printing and more. Celtec also has good screw and staple retention which makes it ideal for stage prop design, cabinetry and other wood replacement projects. Sheets are tough, high-strength and lightweight, and can be ordered in a wide range of sizes, thicknesses and colors. Celtec sheets are free of lead, cadmium, barium and zinc and hve passed all three UL 1975 requirements*. Celtec is recommended for industrial and commercial usage. It readily accepts virtually any form of graphic overlay (print, paint and photo mounting). Celtec is also easy to cut and shape, making it a strong choice for three-dimensional exhibits, displays and stage sets. < z> CQ O CM > "O =3 o "O CD O ce 颴 O " 05 g co > CM > lo lo c h- CD CM -Q - t- CD C lo ^- CQ = fl) CD ~CME J= 4J LU a: LU cj o o T- O <B ai co a.

Extira can be used in any non-structural paint-grade EXTERIOR application. It also works well for high moisture interior environments. Extira has a 5-year limited warranty, unprecedented in its product category. The Extira panel product is available in a variety of sizes and thicknesses with Essentially no formaldehyde emissions Valchromat...

Specifying Art Diffusion Continued Most patterns can be manufactured so that the pattern continues smoothly from panel to panel in all directions creating a monolithic appearance. Depending on the pattern and customer requirements, this continuity can be achieved in a number of diffrent ways. The way in which the pattern continues from panel to panel is called the pattern "repeat type." The repeat type for each pattern is indicated in the pattern detail section of the catalogue. The different repeat types are discussed below. Continuous flow pattern type - A continuous flow pattern does not...

Specifying Art Diffusion Continued mirror image. By mirroring across the panel seams, a continuous project area can be filled with a pattern reminiscent of book matched veneers. Single panels are available in standard 4' X 8' sizes. Many patterns can be mirrored for custom applications.
