Troldtekt, the Danish manufacturer of acoustic wall and ceiling tiles, has launched its environmentally-friendly and aesthetically pleasing products in the UK. The tiles are made of natural wood fibres mixed with cement to create wood wool. The main benefits are high sound absorption, resistance to fire and humidity, high durability, natural breathability and low cost life cycle performance.
European architects widely specify the tiles to improve the acoustics in rooms with hard surfaces, such as schools, swimming pools, commercial and public buildings. Reverberation can be reduced further by adding mineral wool behind. This has the same absorption as a suspended ceiling but saves space as well as system and installation costs. In some cases, even greater acoustic comfort can be achieved by lining one or more walls with the tiles.
Troldekt tiles are available in various sizes from 600x600 to 600x2400mm, 25 and 35mm thick and in three grades from ultrafine to coarse. They can be left untreated or more commonly are factory painted white while virtually any other RAL colour is available to order.
Troldtekt is constantly developing their products and always welcomes new and innovative ideas. For that reason, the company is currently running an international concept competition for students of design and architecture (www.troldtekt.com/award).
