Microgrooved

Our microgrooved wood acoustic panels are made up of a series of slats and grooves. Each of these tongue and groove wood panels are additionally equipped with a 10mm slot for turning clips, ensuring more ease to the installation.

To ensure the quality of our grooved wood paneling, Timberix™ is tested to ISO 354 Standards, which is the measurement of sound absorption in a reverberation room. The difference in the reverberation times is a measure of the amount of absorption in the room.

Preparation & Installation of Grooved Wood Panels

Preparation

  1. Place of installation must be dry, with temperature no less than 10 degrees Celsius.
  2. Humidity level should be kept between 40% to 60%.
  3. Timberix™ panels must be placed on site for at least 48 hours in order to adapt to the environmental conditions.
  4. Distance between each wooden batten should be less than 500mm, and that between each steel keel should be no more than 600mm.

Installation

  1. Mark out placement of Timberix™
    panels, and take into account M&E positions.
  2. Cut panels to size according to final positions.
  3. Decide on type of installation system to use.
  4. Install acoustic substrate of choice.
  5. Join Timberix™ wooden grooved panels from top-to-bottom, and left-to-right.
  6. For wood laminate and veneer finishes, ensure that wooden grooved panels are installed with matching
    grain directions.
  7. Clean surface of the Timberix™ panels with compressed air and gently wipe with dry cloth.

How Timberix™ Grooved Solves Common Acoustical Challenges

Creating an optimal acoustic environment in spaces like auditoriums, concert halls, and lecture theaters presents unique challenges. From managing sound clarity to ensuring its aesthetic appeal, these spaces require solutions that address both form and function. This is where using our wood panels with grooves can be beneficial. Some of the common challenges our grooved wood panels can address include.

Echo and Noise Control

In spaces with hard surfaces and high ceilings, sound waves tend to reflect off walls, floors, and ceilings, causing echoes and prolonged reverberation. This reduces clarity which impacts audience experience.

However, with our grooved wood paneling installed in your space, you have surfaces that can absorb and diffuse sound by trapping and softening soundwaves. This leads to reduced echoes and enhance auditory clarity.

Functional Elegance

While achieving high-quality sound is essential, it often conflicts with the visual design of a space. Acoustic treatments can be bulky or visually intrusive, making it challenging to achieve a harmonious look in spaces designed for public enjoyment and aesthetics.

However, our grooved board panels are available in a variety of finishes – allowing architects and designers to seamlessly integrate them into any setting without compromising style.

Warranty Guaranteed

High-traffic venues like auditoriums and concert halls demand materials that perform acoustically while enduring frequent use and maintenance. Timberix™ grooved boards are crafted from robust materials such as fire-resistant MDF, eco-friendly composites, and multi-layer options, ensuring lasting structural integrity and appearance.

Backed by a guaranteed warranty, they offer reliability and peace of mind for demanding environments.

Frequently Asked Questions

Grooved wood refers to timber that has been milled with a series of channels or grooves along its surface. These grooves can vary in width and depth, depending on the intended design and functionality.

The primary purpose of grooving wood is to enhance its acoustic properties, allowing for better sound absorption and diffusion, particularly in environments where noise control is essential, such as recording studios, theaters, and open office spaces.

Tongue and groove paneling is a method of joining wooden boards edge to edge to create a uniform surface, often used in flooring, walls, and ceilings. In this system, one board has a protruding “tongue” along its edge, while the adjacent board has a corresponding “groove” that receives the tongue.This design allows the boards to interlock securely, providing a tight fit that minimizes gaps and enhances the structural integrity of the paneling.

Generally, grooves on a wall help control cracking in walls by acting as expansion joints, enabling slight movement due to temperature and humidity changes. For acoustic purposes, grooved walls can reduce sound reflections and control echoes within a space. The grooves break up flat wall surfaces, disrupting sound waves and scattering them, which minimizes reverberation and enhances sound clarity.

The three common types of grooved wood paneling are solid wood paneling, plywood paneling, and MDF (medium-density fiberboard) paneling.

Solid wood paneling is made from real wood, providing natural beauty and durability. This makes it a popular choice for traditional and upscale applications. It also offers excellent insulation and acoustic properties.

Plywood paneling, on the other hand, is made from layers of thin wood veneers glued together, offering a stable and cost-effective alternative to solid wood. It is lightweight, easy to install, and can be finished in various ways, making it a versatile choice for many applications.

MDF paneling is engineered from wood fibers and resin, resulting in a smooth surface that is ideal for painting or veneering. It is often used in modern designs and is known for its affordability and consistent quality.

The cost of grooved wood paneling can vary based on several factors, including the type of wood, the quality of the material, and the complexity of the installation process. 

However, if the type of grooved wood paneling you want is not within your allocated budget, you can also consider other acoustic timber panel options, such as wooden perforated panels and micro perforated wood panels.
