The panels have an acoustic core with a concealed aluminium frame and is faced & edge wrapped in Sonatex™ glass mat composite finish which has been treated with a silicone water repellent spray. The panels are also foil membrane backed for resistance against condensation and moisture.
Scope of use
Triton Pool Panel™ is designed as a free floating acoustic ceiling panel or as a direct fixed ceiling & wall panel. Specifically designed for swimming pools and other moisture laden environments.
Triton Pool™ panels are designed for pool environments as an open system with no concealed or enclosed cavity behind the panels for buildings with managed ventilation. The intent is to allow conditioned air to circulate around the panels which will help to reduce the risk of condensation. To maintain free air movement around panels maintain a minimum 50mm gap between and behind panels.
