Technical Statement
Product Description
Composition® is an acoustic wall covering developed specifically to reduce reverberated noise.
Composition® is a high performance decorative and acoustic interior wall fabric, designed to manage reverberated noise and create stunning interiors.
Composition® is ideal for use on vertical surfaces and as Composition® provides a pin, staple and 'hook and loop' receptive surface, it can effectively transform your walls into acoustic notice boards. Available in 40 stylish colours to mix, match, create logos and cut-ins - Composition® offers unlimited design options.
Composition® is made from Vertiface® fabric laminated to an acoustic, needle-punched and thermally bonded polyester backing. Composition® can be directly adhered to the wall substrate, eliminating the need for extensive wall preparation and painting.
Education, commercial offices, theatres, libraries, retail, restaurants, and residential applications such as kid's bedrooms - anywhere reverberated noise is a problem, Composition® is ideal.
Composition® is fully recyclable and follows an ecological production process, manufactured under Autex's zero waste policy and containing recycled fibres.
