Description
Acoustic Pinboard Tiles
Acoustic Pinboard Tiles provide a dual-purpose solution for educational environments, combining structural sound absorption with a functional, pin-receptive display surface. Specifically engineered for busy classrooms, nurseries, and corridors, these tiles help combat the high background noise levels that compromise speech intelligibility and hinder learning for both mainstream and hearing-impaired students.
Acoustic Performance & BB93 Compliance
These panels are designed to assist schools in achieving compliance with Building Bulletin 93 (BB93) acoustic standards for internal school designs. When surface-mounted directly to walls, performance scales by panel thickness:
- 24mm Thickness (Class C Absorber): Delivers robust mid-to-high frequency dampening, reaching 1.00 full absorption efficiency from 1kHz upwards, with a significant 0.75 coefficient at 500Hz.
- 12mm Thickness (Class D Absorber): Provides a slimmer profile optimized for high-frequency control, hitting a 1.00 coefficient at 4kHz and 0.95 at 2kHz.
Please Note: Although these tiles can be used as pinboards their acoustic absorption will reduce if they are covered, especially if the paper is thick or multi-layered.
Acoustic Data
The test data below is for uncovered tiles.
| Sound Absorption coefficients | |||||||
| Thickness | 125Hz | 250Hz | 500Hz | 1kHz | 2kHz | 4kHz | Class |
| 12mm | 0.05 | 0.10 | 0.40 | 0.75 | 0.95 | 1.00 | D |
| 24mm | 0.10 | 0.30 | 0.75 | 1.00 | 1.00 | 1.00 | C |
Key Technical & Material Benefits
- Eco-Friendly Composition: Manufactured from recycled polyester plastic bottles, utilizing thermally bonded polyester fibres in a non-woven matrix.
- Triple-Receptive Surface: Finished in a fine velour fabric texture that seamlessly accepts Velcro, staples, and pins without degrading.
- Heavy-Duty Durability: Engineered to be highly impact-resistant, non-toxic, non-irritant, and resistant to colour fading in high-traffic school corridors.
- Fire Safety: Achieves a Class B rating to EN13501-1:2007+A1 2009, ensuring compliance with strict public building fire regulations.
