The Look That Sounds Different<br />
<strong>SPI</strong> <strong>Acoustical</strong> <strong>Panels</strong><br />
Engineered to Reduce Noise and Enhance the Environment
“Your <strong>SPI</strong> sound panels have made our job so much easier by keeping the quality<br />
at a high standard. Since changing over to your product we have not had any job<br />
complaints and that saves us time and money. The only question we have is how<br />
do you build those panels in the time frame we give you! Keep up the good work!”<br />
“Everything looks and sounds great. I'll be interested to hear what the Sunday<br />
School class thinks - we will hear about it on Monday - but today, everyone was<br />
very impressed. Thanks for the great job.”<br />
“We have used <strong>SPI</strong> panels for countless projects and we know that we can<br />
always count on their quality and effectiveness. They are perfect for solving noise<br />
problems in churches, school, offices, and numerous other places. You won't find<br />
a better product for the price anywhere.”<br />
We work closely with architects, acoustical<br />
consultants, interior designers and contractors<br />
to build products that are both functional and<br />
aesthetically pleasing.
<strong>SPI</strong> manufactures a variety of multi-purpose acoustical wall panels and ceiling treatments<br />
to meet the acoustical needs of virtually any space including: schools, theaters, meeting<br />
rooms, offices, sound studios, restaurants, etc. Our approach is simple. We custom manufacture<br />
each product for size, thickness and acoustical properties desired.<br />
Absorption Plus <strong>Acoustical</strong> Wall <strong>Panels</strong><br />
Absorption Plus panels are designed to reduce reverberation and enhance a room's acoustical properties.<br />
<strong>Co</strong>nstructed of high quality fiberglass substrate and face laminated fabric, Absorption Plus<br />
panels provide the ultimate in performance with excellent NRC ratings. <strong>Co</strong>mbining form and<br />
function, they are ideally suited for a variety of interior design applications. Absorption Plus<br />
panels can be applied to existing walls including block and gypsum walls, and metal cabinetry to<br />
absorb reflected sound. They can also double as tack boards and provide a decorative room accent.<br />
Absorption Plus panels are also available in a high-impact construction.<br />
Each panel is face laminated in the fabric of your choice and available in custom sizes up to a<br />
maximum of 48" x 120". Absorption Plus panels are available in a variety of fabrics including<br />
custom, designer or C.O.M. Standard thicknesses are 3/4" to 3" with custom thicknesses available.<br />
<strong>Co</strong>mbining form<br />
and function, our<br />
acoustical panel<br />
products are ideally<br />
suited for a variety<br />
of interior design<br />
applications<br />
Custom Sizing<br />
<strong>Panels</strong> can be sized specifically to order which saves on installation costs.<br />
They are built to your design specification - frame size, thickness, edge and<br />
corner details, core, fabric selection and attachment method are all custom.<br />
Fast Turnaround<br />
Manufacturing your custom panels usually takes approximately 2-3 weeks -<br />
an exceptional turnaround time compared to our typical competitor who<br />
takes a minimum of 4-6 weeks to complete an order.<br />
Easy Installation<br />
Our acoustical panels can be hung like pictures. Just match your wall<br />
elevation codes on the panel and drawing.

Edge Details<br />
<strong>SPI</strong> offers a variety of edge details to accentuate your design and a<br />
Square Edge<br />
This treatment is the<br />
most common of all<br />
and can be incorporated<br />
into many<br />
existing settings.<br />
A<br />
Radius<br />
This treatment is also<br />
used to draw attention<br />
to a desired area<br />
with a little softer<br />
touch. The radius<br />
will be a 3/4” radius<br />
cut along the edge of<br />
the panel.<br />
B
Mounting Options<br />
Mounting Absorption Plus panels is a simple operation using adhesive, hook and<br />
loop fasteners, impaling clips and 2-part Z-Clips.<br />
Adhesive. Apply construction adhesive to the back of each<br />
panel. Place panel in desired location. To avoid slippage,<br />
temporary support is required.<br />
Hook and Loop Fasteners. The panel comes with the loop<br />
fastener already applied and the hook attached to its mate (the<br />
loop). To install, remove the tape backing on the hook and<br />
position the panel on the wall.<br />
<strong>Specialty</strong> Items<br />
Absorption Baffles<br />
Ceiling suspended acoustically absorbent panels are the<br />
best way to solve reverberation problems in large open<br />
areas where additional sound control is required. Our<br />
Class A fire-rated, lightweight ceiling baffles allow you<br />
to create unlimited architectural effects that improve<br />
both the sound quality and the aesthetics of the space,<br />
resulting in an ideal acoustical environment. They are<br />
ideal for gymnasiums, auditoriums, or cafeterias. Ceiling<br />
cable installation allows baffles to be arranged in numerous<br />
patterns.<br />
Impaling Clips. Mount impaling clips to the wall. Then<br />
push the panels onto the impaling clips. Use adhesive for<br />
additional support.<br />
Z-Clips. Clips are already mounted onto the panels at the<br />
time of shipment. Install clips on the wall at the location<br />
established by the position of the panel clips.<br />
Finishes<br />
<strong>Co</strong>ncealed Splines. <strong>Panels</strong> with concealed spline attachments<br />
have kerfs along the edges of the panels. Insert the spline into<br />
one panel and mount on the wall. Then insert adjoining panels<br />
into the remaining half of the spline.<br />
Guilford of Maine (Interface Fabrics) polyester fabric is standard. We also have<br />
available many other approved decorator fabrics from a variety of manufacturers.<br />
Customers may also specify or supply their own fabrics (COM).<br />
