To create a contemporary interior is not only a matter of aesthetics. Comfort, safety, and
sustainability are now considered equally important factors.
The ETCH™ decorative acoustic panels by Acoustica Projects Australia represent a perfect
merger of style and performance which makes them perfect for architects, designers, and
builders who are in search of reliable commercial acoustic solutions for offices,
ETCH™ is a wall fabric that is not only decorative but also an acoustic control material.
It is painted directly on Acoustica’s backing panels and thus a flawless finishing is created which
is appealing acoustically and aesthetically as well.
Being one hundred percent polyester fibre with minimum fifty percent post-consumer recycled
content, ETCH™ is one of the most sustainable interior design materials in Australia.
It enables designers to build visually stunning and environmentally friendly areas with no
compromise on performance.
Noise is one of the main problems occurring in places where many people share the same
space. Noisy offices, classrooms, etc. even can be theatres often suffer from echo and
background noise.
Sound absorption panels like ETCH™ get to the root of the problem by cutting back on the
reverberation time and making the sound easier to understand.
This certainly contributes to the creation of a very quiet and well-balanced environment — one
of the most critical aspects both in the office and the theatre.Employees are able to concentrate, the actors are clearly heard, and the clients are able to talk
quietly with one another, all because of better sound management.
No two interiors are the same, and that is why ETCH™ gives a hand to custom acoustic designs.
Pick from 30 colours and 15 standard patterns, or send your sketch for a bespoke solution to
be made.
Installation requires no effort — just select your backing, colour, and pattern — and panels
come in 1250 mm x 1300 mm sizes, with other sizes available on request.
Whether you are doing a feature wall or an entire office floor, ETCH™ will give you total design
freedom.
Acoustic performance is not the only thing with these panels — they also contribute to interior
style, thus, they are suitable for both modern and traditional design schemes.
Safety and Fire Performance
(absorber-etch-6-12-25-50-decorative-acoustic-panels)
Safety is the main concern in commercial areas.
ETCH™ has been designed to comply with Australian as well as international fire safety
regulations thus, it is a sure selection among fire rated wall panels.
Moreover, it meets the Building Code of Australia (NCC) and has been subjected to the
following tests:
AS1530.3 and AS5637.1:2015
ISO 9705, EN13501-1:2007+A1:2009, and ASTM E84-01 Class A
Among others, the key ratings are:
Group 1 (Australia) classification
Materials with self-extinguishing properties
SMOGRARC <100 m²/s²
In this way, the certifications guarantee that ETCH™ will be applied in schools, offices, hotels,
and other public spaces where fire safety rules are strictly followed without any hesitation.
Sustainable and Low-VOC Construction
Sustainability is an inherent feature throughout the whole ETCH™ panel.
The raw material comprises 50% recycled polyester, nurturing the Global GreenTag Green Rate
Level A certification together with the CDHP Standard compliance.
Being good at absorbing sound VOC, ETCH™ panels are continuously contributing to a more
breathable and, consequently, healthier indoor atmosphere since they have an extremely low
level of emissions measured at merely 0.009 mg/m³.
These characteristics qualify them for projects under the Green Star and WELL Building
Standard, seeking to lessen their environmental impact and at the same time promote
occupant’s health.
Choosing ETCH™ means you are getting a product that not only helps you to achieve eco-
friendly design goals but also offers the same performance and visual appeal.
Superior Acoustic Comfort
Using Acoustica’s Echosorb® acoustic backing with ETCH™ panels, they get a high noise
reduction coefficient (NRC) rating.
The panels take in mid- and high-frequency noise, mitigating echo and hence, the acoustics in
the whole room become very pleasant and homogeneous.
In open-plan offices, this leads to better interaction among workers and also allowing them to
focus on what they are doing.
In theatres, it allows the audience to hear better and also enhances the overall sound quality.
Cafés and restaurants use this technique to block off the bustling noise from the street, creating
a more peaceful dining atmosphere.
The listed advantages show that ETCH™ can be a part of a really good commercial acoustic
solution across the board for any kind of interior space.
