AKUART SMART ART 60
07
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION AKUART SmartArt 60 is a sound absorbing picture with a changeable canvas. Acoustic regulation in the highest absorption class available (Class A), is combined with graphic print of extremely high quality. The clever design makes it possible to detach the canvas from the frame, ensuring that the print can easily be replaced at any time. The SmartArt design makes it possible to print sizes up to 3x7 meters in one piece. This solution is particularly ideal when the requirements for acoustic regulation are extra high and therefore requires regulation over a wide frequency range, meanwhile supporting the desired visual expression.

AKUART SMART WALL
15
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION AKUART SmartWall is a whole new breed of acoustic screen walls. The uniqueness lies in the fact that the printed canvases on both the front and back surface of the screen wall are changeable. This paves the way for creating different visual expressions depending on which side of the wall you are looking at. AKUART SmartWall is categorized in absorption class A, the highest absorption class available. This ensures that the propagation of sound in a given space is efficiently stopped. Up to 95% of the acoustic energy hitting the wall surfaces is absorbed in the frequency range 500-4000 Hz. This screen wall is perfect for all types of organizations in which sound sources such as servers, printers, colleagues, etc. cause acoustic problems. SPECIFICATIONS: Product:
