LOHAS Australia provides advanced solutions that blend high sound absorption performance with the sustainability and eco-compatibility of a natural product, which is also aesthetically attractive and mechanically resistant.
With their particular surface configuration, wood wool boards are natural sound absorbers. Soundwaves do not bounce from one wall to another. Instead, they are partly absorbed and dissipated, thus avoiding annoying reverberation. The product's functionality and the fact it can serve as a sophisticated feature wall product means it can be perfect for homes, education centres, sporting arenas, offices, infrastructure projects, and entertainment and recreational facilities.
Advantages
SOUND ABSORPTION - Porosity and elasticity are the basic features.
Wood wool boards can be classified as natural sound absorbers. They dissipate sound energy through their cellular structure by progressively reducing energy, which is converted into heat. They have a good level of sound absorption, especially at higher frequencies (acute tones), which are the more common ones.
ACCIDENTAL CEILING DROP SAFETY - Compactness and mechanical strength for safety and certified design.
Thanks to the hardness and mechanical resistance of wood wool panels, LOHAS provides certified solutions to guarantee the safety of the people. This is ensured by retaining all Acoustic products' natural and aesthetical features. They can be easily removed if a ceiling inspection is required to check their safety.
SUSTAINABILITY AND ECO-COMPATIBILITY - Certified boards by ANAB-ICEA and natureplus for the product's sustainability.
The raw materials that compose eco-friendly boards are wood from sustainably managed forests (PEFC ™ or FSC® certificate), Portland cement and calcium carbonate residue of marble to form the percentage of recycled material (ICEA certificate). The production process has low resource consumption and low emissions. LOHAS panels can therefore contribute to the evaluation of the sustainability of buildings through certification protocols.
INDOOR COMFORT - False ceilings and coverings ensure well-being.
Wood wool boards favour users in especially crowded buildings. They are eco-friendly, certified by ANAB-ICEA and natureplus, which ensure not cause harm to individuals’ health; they are tested to be free from critical emissions of carcinogens, formaldehyde, volatile organic compounds VOC and asbestos, according to EN 13964.
IMPACT RESISTANCE AND BALLS - Impact resistance is essential in sports facilities.
LOHAS Australia has certified solutions for false ceilings and wall coverings resistant to being hit by balls. This feature is essential to guarantee the stability of covering systems. The resistance of the boards has been tested by Giordano Institute, according to EN 13964 and DIN 18032-3, obtaining the A1 class resistance, which is the highest attainable.
CUSTOMISED DESIGN SOLUTIONS - Designers can define their own interior design line with wood wool coverings.
For designers who are looking for new and original ideas to express their creativity, LOHAS offers products with features that enhance the aesthetic finish. From pose type to manufactured edges, from textures to the different colourations available, designers have a lot of creative ideas to shape their own architectural projects, customizing interior design by enhancing aesthetic features.
FIRE PROTECTION - The safety of users in case of fire is crucial.
In crowded public places, fire safety must be designed carefully to avoid risks to people’s lives. Wood wool panels are classified in Fire Euroclass A2-s1,d0 and B-s1,d0. Furthermore, the fire resistance values of false ceilings can reach 60 minutes of fire resistance, maintaining their aesthetic appearance and acoustic qualities.
THERMAL AND ACOUSTIC INSULATION - Wood wool false ceilings and coverings for total insulation.
LOHAS Australia solutions for acoustic coverings improve the buildings' winter thermal insulation and thermal inertia. In addition, LOHAS Australia offers a wide range of solutions for acoustic insulation with good insulating power certified for partitions, perimeter walls and lightweight roofs.
FLEXIBLE DESIGN - LOHAS recommends versatility and flexibility as the passwords for creativity!
Wood wool boards can be used for countless creative solutions. Baffles, curved finishing, furnishings, unique patterns, shelves and cubes. The simplicity of the boards allows the creation of attractive shapes with an innovative design. LOHAS panels are exceptionally versatile with high aesthetic value, able to meet all designers’ modern expectations.
