DEKOZELL® SYSTEM DISTANCE-EASY

Application instructions
Technical data sheet
Text for invitation to tender

The easiest acoustic suspension system to install.

The top performer among the suspension systems.

  • No hole pattern
    • Easy-Boards are monolithic, i.e. made from one piece. Unlike perforated plasterboard, for example, there is no risk of perforation marks caused by airborne dust deposits.
  • Simple installation
    • The 160 x 58 cm board format is particularly easy to work with.
    • The all-round tongue and groove joint ensures a particularly high level of safety when laying the boards.
    • The plaster base fleece is already applied to the board at the factory. It is not necessary to wallpaper the plaster base fleece after installation.
  • Very good acoustics
    • Particularly large rooms usually also have special requirements for the lowest possible low-frequency sound absorption.
    • By removing the airtight lamination on the back of the panels, even unusually low frequencies can be absorbed. 
  • Dust-free renovation
    • As a classic suspended system, DEKOZELL DISTANCE-EASY forms a ceiling void.
    • Installations such as pipework, lights or air conditioning units can be concealed in the ceiling void.

1. Types of utilisation

DIN 18041 (audibility in small and medium-sized rooms) distinguishes between different types of room utilisation. When a room is used for making music, a certain amount of reverberation is desirable so that the room “carries” the sounds. If the room is used for speech, two people can have a reasonable conversation, but if there are many children in the room, the individual sound pressure levels quickly add up again. If a room is used for normal school lessons or as a kindergarten room, the requirements for the amount of sound absorber capacity to be installed are correspondingly higher. However, a compromise often has to be found between the reverberation time to be achieved and the actual structural possibilities.
We would be happy to advise you on this for your specific project, including solutions from other manufacturers.

Overview of the categorisation of types of use

Music

  • Music classroom with active music-making and singing;
  • Council and banqueting hall for musical performances.

Speech

  • Courtroom and council chamber
  • Community hall, meeting room
  • Music rehearsal room in music schools or similar
  • Sports hall and swimming pool with an audience

Lessons

  • Classroom (except for music);
  • Music classroom with audiovisual presentation
  • Group rooms in kindergartens and day care centres, day care centres for the elderly
  • Seminar room, interaction room
  • Lecture theatre
  • Room for tele-teaching
  • Meeting room, conference room
  • Performance room for electro-acoustic use only

Sport 1

  • Sports halls and swimming pools without an audience for normal use and/or single class operation (one class or sports group, standardised communication content)

Sport 2

  • Sports halls and swimming pools without an audience for multiple classes
2. acoustically open window A o.F.

In order to reduce the reverberation time in a room to a certain value, a corresponding amount of so-called “acoustically open window” must be installed. This is an arithmetical auxiliary value that is specified in virtual square metres. A large window front that can be opened completely is an almost sound-reflecting surface when closed. When open, however, precisely this window surface forms an “acoustically open window” from an acoustic point of view – even with an efficiency (sound absorption coefficient) of 100%! In order to reduce the reverberation time in the room to an appropriate level, a corresponding amount of “acoustically open window” must also be installed in the room – strategically distributed throughout the room. The calculation value for the acoustically open window results from the sum of all sound-absorbing surfaces in the room, which have previously been multiplied by their respective sound absorption coefficient. We would be happy to advise you on this for your specific project, including solutions from other manufacturers.

3. Reverberation time T N-set

The reverberation time is the measurement by which you can judge the “reverberation” of a room. If a loud bang is produced in a room (e.g. by clapping your hands vigorously), you can almost count how long it takes for the reverberation to subside if the reverberation time is longer than 1.5 seconds. The eardrum in the human ear has a moment of inertia of approximately 0.7 seconds. Accordingly, reverberation times of more than 0.7 seconds are usually perceived as quite reverberant, while reverberation times of less than 0.7 seconds are much more pleasant. However, the actual target reverberation time for a room depends on its volume and the planned type of use for the room. Please use the acoustics calculator above. We would be happy to advise you on this for your specific property, including solutions from other manufacturers.

Professionally, the reverberation time is determined using appropriate sound pressure level measuring devices that measure the decay of the reverberation in the room. In simpler cases, the sound pressure level required for the measurement is generated by a shot from a shotgun or the bang of a starter flap, such as is used in a 100m race. In professional measurements, which also measure individual frequencies individually, special loudspeakers are set up in the room (so-called dodecahedrons), through which the room is filled with special noise. The decay time of the sound pressure level generated by the noise in the room is then measured. Should such a measurement be necessary, we will be happy to help you find a professional room acoustician.

DISTANCE EASY. ONE NAME, ONE CONCEPT.

Super simple: gluing instead of screwing

Easy-Boards are traditionally screwed onto CD profiles. Similar to plasterboard. But there is another ingenious shortcut. A 1 cm wide strip of polymer adhesive is applied to the CD profiles from the cartridge and then the board is attached immediately. 2.3kg initial adhesion per square centimetre. Wet, immediately. Then 3.2kg when dry. This results in almost a tonne of adhesive strength per board. You can’t put in that many drywall screws to achieve that. The all-round tongue-and-groove joint around the Easy-Boards ensures that two boards always meet securely at the same height. Self-adhesive reinforcement joint tape over the board joints – and off you go with the seamless final coating.

OK, screws work too.

We can understand if you prefer to continue screwing. That’s no problem, because the Easy-Boards can also be screwed in the conventional way like plasterboard. Most DISTANCE-EASY ceilings are also installed in the same way. However, the huge advantage of gluing is that it creates a truly monolithic substructure. Even on a flow-through ceiling, nothing can technically stand out because everything “ages” evenly. The entire acoustic substructure is ultimately “as if from a single mould”. And it is incredibly quick to install the boards using the adhesive method. You’ll be impressed. We promise.

Optional extras? It all fits in.

The Easy-Boards are 24 mm thick. On purpose. This allows us to seamlessly merge all built-in parts that are available for 25 mm plasterboard with the acoustic coating. Access panels, light profiles, invisible loudspeakers or a free-hanging fireplace: everything that the accessories market has to offer fits into this suspended ceiling. You say what you want. We’ll tell you how to do it.

And nothing burns.

Suspension systems are often used in very large rooms. Or even in corridors. The issue of non-combustibility quickly plays an important role here. The DISTANCE Easy Boards are mineral and therefore non-combustible. With the non-combustible DEKOZELL acoustic pointed filler as a topcoat, they are then similar to plasterboard: fire class A2-s1-d0, non-combustible with organic components. But then please screw, not glue.

„We develop tools for creative people to optimize spaces such as recording studio control rooms, recording rooms or concert halls. In 2012, we were looking for a seamless acoustic plaster solution for the redesign of control room 7 at ORF Vienna. All of the competing systems could not be repaired and the trickling onto the expensive sound technology was also unacceptable. With DEKOZELL, we have had a capable acoustic plaster partner ever since.“

„Acoustic plaster is a top priority for me. Because DEKOZELL acoustic plaster systems are usually included in the painting tender, I have already received several villa projects as a complete order. Sanding really does the trick. Difficult installation situations or quick repairs are no problem. I also really like the DEKOZELL sealant for the edge connection, which looks exactly right.“
