Flamex Basic

How much do I need to improve the acoustics?
According to the general rule, using absorption material equivalent to 50% of the floor area of a room achieves good acoustics. In practice, it often appears that a percentage of 25 to 30% already gives sufficient improvement. Example: suppose you have a room with a floor space of 100 m², in this case you need approximately 30 to 40 m² of sound absorbing surfaces for reasonable to good acoustics. By sound absorbing surfaces we mean soft surfaces such as curtains, furniture and carpet, supplemented with acoustic panels. Since this can differ per room and situation, we have written a number of informative pages about improving the acoustics:

• Reverb in homes
• Guide to improve room acoustics

What it is and does:
Flamex Basic is an acoustic panel made of sound-absorbing acoustic melamine foam. This product reduces the reflections of sound and reverberation. Flamex is resistant to high temperatures and ensures minimal smoke development in the event of a fire.

Applications
Flamex Basic can be used in homes, such as living rooms and bedrooms, kitchens, halls and stairwells. Flamex acoustic foam has fire class C and can therefore also be used in public spaces, such as a classroom, club or office. Flamex is also an excellent noise insulation in PC/Server cases, ventilation box and to use in a sound maze for a more silent ventilation solution.

With sufficient adhesive, the panel will bond directly, no struts or clamps are necessary.
