3. INTRODUCTION

LEA (Lightweight Ecological Absorbent) is an acoustic panel made of recycled material (PET) with a high absorption performance in medium and high frequencies. Its acoustic properties ensure a significant reduction of the room reverberation time that reflects to a better acoustic comfort. LEA panels can be installed in a false ceiling or attached to the wall with included adhesive stripes. This acoustic panels can be managed easily without tools and cleaned up whenever is needed.

POINTS OF VIEW collection, designed in collaboration with Luis Enslave, has been specially created to achieve acoustic comfort, better speech intelligibility, reduced hearing fatigue, acoustic treatment for listening to music, and so on. Its acoustic qualities ensure a high absorption of medium and high frequencies, in addition to a quick installation, either glued to the wall or suspended from the ceiling.

3. Make sure the panels are well placed in the false ceiling structure:

5.1.2. Wall installation -­ individual panel

We recommend that, before the installation, all the necessary measurements are made to facilitate the placement of the panels.

1. Clean and dry the surface where the panels are going to be placed, removing any dust or artefact in the wall.
2. On the back side of the panel, place 2 of the supplied strips close to the edges, with the side with the protective film facing out, and the side with the micro-hooks inwards. In order to attach the strips to the panel properly, it is recommended to once placed, apply pressure from the centre to their ends.

3. Remove the protective film from the strips, exposing the adhesive.

4. Carefully, place the acoustic panel on the wall, in the desired position.

5. Stick the panel to the wall and press it lightly along the surface where the strips were attached; do not apply too much pressure, this could damage the panel.

5.1.3. Wall installation –­ compositions

Before the installation, we highly recommend taking the necessary measurements in order to facilitate the placement of the panels.

1. Clean and dry the surface where the panels are to be installed, thus removing dust or elements on the wall.
2. On the back side of the panel, place 2 of the supplied strips close to the edges, with the side with the protective film facing out, and the side with the micro-hooks inwards. In order to attach the strips to the panel properly, it is recommended to once the strips are placed, apply pressure from the centre to their ends.

3. Remove the protective film from the strips, exposing the adhesive.

6. Repeat steps 1 to 5 and place the next panel applying light pressure against the adjacent panel, avoiding this way any gaps between them.

7. If the wall is not completely flat or has some kind of roughness, use the recycled wood slats to join the panels together, this will provide more robustness and uniformity to the whole composition. It is recommended to cut out the corners of the recycled wooden slats to facilitate their insertion between the panels.

8. Repeat steps 1 to 7 with the rest of the panels until your composition is complete:

5.2. 100×4 panels (ceiling installation)
