Echosorption PLUS - Reverberation Treatment for Offices, Schools , Gymnasiums & Halls

ECHOSORBA acoustic panels are simply adhered to ceilings and upper walls using SRU - High Contact  spray can adhesive.

It is important to check the construction detail of the backing surface structure (ceiling or wall) to which the acoustic panels are to be glued. The ECHOSORBA panels have a thermal conductivity of 0.034 W/mK at 10°C and therefore have good thermal insulation properties as well as excellent sound absorption.

It is therefore important to ensure that there is no possibility of condensation or cold bridging occurring if the acoustic panels are applied to the surface of the structure. Should there be any potential for condensation or cold bridging, then it is very important that this problem is eliminated by suitable treatment, such as a vapour barrier etc, before the ECHOSORBA acoustic panels are installed.

Failure to take suitable precautions may lead to staining of the acoustic panels due to air and moisture movement. This can potentially occur, for example, where there is no heated upper floor above the ceiling to which the acoustic panels are to be fitted. Soundsorba Ltd will not be liable if these precautions are not taken and staining occurs.

SRU High contact adhesive is a quick spray-on application which comes ready to use in 500ml spray cans. The panels and adhesive must be kept and stored inside at room temperature at all times and acclimatised in the area where they are to be used for 24 hours before installation.

The panels are adhered to the backing surface either with a butt joint effect or by using shadow gaps. To avoid soiling the panels, white cotton gloves should be worn when handling them.

The backing surface must be clean, flat, level, dry, solid and free from dust, oil, grease and other similar residue which may affect the adhesion. We recommend that the contact adhesive is applied at room temperature of approximately 21°C and in well ventilated conditions.
