DEKOZELL® SYSTEMS

DEKOZELL® SYSTEM-FLEXOPANEL

Light as a feather. Inexpensive. For ceilings and friezes.

The acoustic world champion in flyweight.

  • Very flat
    • With a total layer thickness of only around 12 mm, the FLEXOPANEL system absorbs a full 50% of the incident sound. No other acoustic plaster system on the market can achieve this with such a low layer thickness.
  • Light as a feather
    • The only seamless acoustic solution on the market that weighs just 700g per square metre and is virtually weightless. This means that suspended ceilings made of plasterboard can also be retrofitted.
    • Even historic Rabitz ceilings with an unknown load-bearing capacity can now be used as sound absorbers.
  • For ceilings and walls
    • The reinforcement fabric in the layered structure makes the finished system so robust that it can even be used for walls subject to moderate loads. And it can also be used for swimming pools with active dehumidification and heating/cooling ceilings without dew point problems. 
  • Wallpapering method
    • This is what the painting trade likes: even when applying for the first time, tried and tested experience and knowledge are completely sufficient.
    • The FLEXOPANEL is actually a wallpapering system. The individual work steps are rather fluid.

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.

Can do a lot. With very little effort.

Priming. Wallpapering. Coating. Silence.

When retrofitting seamless acoustic systems, weight is often the deciding factor. Most systems weigh 15kg/m² and more. An unreasonable additional load, especially for plasterboard or old historic stucco mesh ceilings. One square metre of FLEXOPANEL, on the other hand, weighs 700g when finished, whereas the surface of a Ritter Sport chocolate weighs just 10g. So, from a structural point of view, nothing at all. 

The second important point is the layer thickness. Acoustic systems are no different to thermal insulation systems: the thicker, the better. We have developed a small miracle with the FLEXOPANEL system: minimal weight, quick and clean installation in existing rooms and high sound absorption with a low layer thickness.

Our bestselling system

FLEXOPANEL is our best-selling system. No wonder: there is no comparable jointless acoustic system on the market. 1 cm layer thickness, extremely low weight, and an average sound absorption coefficient alpha-w of 0.5 – thousands of square metres have already been successfully coated in this way. Worldwide.

Uniform frequency response

From 250Hz to 4kHz, FLEXOPANEL absorbs sound surprisingly evenly. This results in a particularly homogeneous room feeling. As the wall can also be included as a sound absorber, even difficult rooms can be damped very well.

Also, as a quick retrofit solution

With a rough instead of a smooth finish, FLEXOPANEL can also be installed within three days as a particularly fast retrofit solution. Perfect for time-critical renovations and even for shop fit-outs. With many trades working at the same time and probably the only smile on site.

„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.“
