Description
The
track profile forms a perimeter frame around the area requiring to
be covered in fabric.
There are two common profiles designed to accommodate specified final
finished design details. The profile is attached through the fixing
flange to the substrate, usually constructed of metal or timber stud
frame. |

Track
For finishing to ceilings, skirtings, chair
rails, inside corner.

2.
Cove Track
For individual panels requiring a radius finished. |

Performance
A
range of high density glassfibers acoustic lining is available to
meet particular performance requirements, including acoustic control,
fire ratings and impact resistance.
Strength in high acoustic performance projects, protection against
impact may be required in heavy traffic areas. High density glassfibers
panels are preferred. |
 |

All
acoustic linings are supplied to meet BS 476 Pt 6 and Pt 7 Class 0
fire requirements of the Building Regulations.
Sound absorption coeffcients for typical acoustic linings used in
the two main applications are shown in the table.

Wall Lining System
|
|
| |
Introduction
Fabritone acoustic lining system is available from dB Acoustics Pte
Ltd and shall be installed in strict accordance with the manufacturer's
instruction. Fabritone is a versatile fabric wallcovering system which
combines high performance acoustic control with a crip, even fabric
finish, suitable for all internal walls and ceilings.

Description
The
Fabritone system consists of perimeter UPVC frame, acoustic linings
and fabric.
The perimeter frame comprises of a UPVC extrusion, normally in standard
track profile, includes a flange through which attachment is made
to the substrate and a channel into which the covering fabric is fed
and then held.
The acoustic linings are normally of 15mm to 50mm standard thickness
high density glassfibers panels to provide good acoustic performances
and the required strength to withstand direct impact especially in
heavy traffic areas.
Fabrics, normally woven and acoustically transparent, must be the
type approved for use in acoustic panel installations. |

Performance
Fire
The fabric and the acoustic linings can be supplied
to meet Class 1 or Class 0 fire requirements of the Building Regulations.
Sound
Sound absorption coefficients for a typical
50 mm linings are shown in the table.

Installation
All
installation work is to be undertaken by approved and trained installers.
The track is fastened to the metal or timber stud frame by means of
staples, nails or screws.
The acoustic lining is cut to the size of the panel and fix in place
within the perimeter frame. If the panels are too large, the linings
can be held in place by means of glue or hold-down pins.
The fabric is mounted by use of a special application tool that inserts
the fabric into the jaws of the track. Once fitted, the fabric completely
covers the area and no braiding or cover strips are required. The
fabric should not be installed untill:
a) the space has been enclosed and is weather tight;
b) all wet work has been completed and is dry;
c) painting is completed and wall base and floor covering are installed.
d) all adjacent and related work of other trades has been completed;
e) any air gaps, cracks or holes in the substrate are sealed.

Maintenance
It
is recommended that the fabric be vacuum cleaned every two months.
dB Acoustics Pte Ltd also offer full repair and replacement of the
fabric in the event of accidental damage or spoiling of the material.
A regular maintenance contract can be made available including providing
a Scotchgard protective treatment service against stain for all fabrics
supplied. |
