Special perforation · Pressed panel

Pattern 194

A relief pressed into the panel with the perforation punched inside it. The catalog prints all five twice, once perforated and once plain, which is the only place it shows the same panel both ways.

It separates the design from the performance. The pressed relief carries the look and the perforation inside it carries the absorption, so the same design can run open where the room needs it and closed where it does not, with no visible change across the ceiling. Where pressed panel patterns suit.

Specifying pattern 194

Name it by its number. These patterns have no names in the catalog, and the number is the only identifier that will match what we hold. Give the panel size and, where the pattern offers more than one, the hole diameter you want it run at.

Special perforation is a patterned face, not a performance specification. Where the acoustic figure is what matters, work from the uniform range, which publishes an open-area percentage for every pattern.
