Big River Panels perforated acoustic panels are designed for interior wall and ceiling applications where acoustic control, architectural finish and design flexibility are required.

Suitable applications include:

• Commercial offices and workplaces
• Education and learning environments
• Performing arts and entertainment spaces
• Auditoriums, theatres and assembly areas
• Hospitality and public spaces
• Healthcare and aged-care environments
• Libraries and community facilities
• Feature walls and ceilings
• Suspended and drop-in ceiling systems
• Custom architectural acoustic installations

Panels can be manufactured in a range of substrates, finishes, perforation patterns, sizes and edge details to suit project-specific acoustic, fire, aesthetic and installation requirements.

Where specific acoustic performance is required, Big River Panels recommends consultation with a qualified acoustic engineer to determine the appropriate panel configuration, open area and acoustic treatment.

• For interior applications only, unless specifically approved otherwise by Big River Panels.
• Not intended for areas subject to direct weather exposure, persistent moisture or excessive humidity unless a suitable substrate and system has been confirmed.
• Substrate, finish and fixing method must be selected to suit the specific application and environmental conditions.
• Fire performance varies by substrate and panel configuration; the specified system must comply with the fire requirements of the project.
• Published NRC values relate to tested or specified panel configurations and may vary depending on perforation, open area, backing material, cavity depth and installation.
• Where a specific acoustic performance is required, consultation with a qualified acoustic engineer is recommended.
• Custom perforations, panel sizes and edge details should be reviewed and approved through project-specific shop drawings prior to manufacture.
• Panels must be stored, handled and installed in accordance with Big River Panels’ requirements to maintain appearance and performance.

Multiple substrate options — including:

• Group 1-S Firesafe MDF ( Black or Natural Core )
