Hodgson & Hodgson has launched a new addition to its range of acoustic products. Firesound wall and ceiling panels are designed for use in underground train stations, airports, schools sports stadia and railway stations or any area where the acoustics need improving without compromising fire safety.
FireSound was designed to comply with London Underground standards for spread of flame, smoke and toxicity in areas needing a reduction in reverberant noise to improve the clarity of messages over public address systems.
Suitable for walls and ceilings, the panels have high impact resistance and a cleanable surface. They are manufactured from specially-painted, perforated steel with a fire-rated, sound-absorbing infill. The moisture resistant infill is totally enclosed in a black fabric for a modern finish.
Furthermore, the thermal insulation that FireSound provides contributes significantly to the thermal resistance of the building fabric, in accordance with Building Regs Part L for Energy Conservation.
