8 reasons for choosing AKUART

CHANGEABLE CANVASThe cleverly designed AKUART

collection comes with a

changeable textile canvas. This

allows for a continuously changing

visual environment - a highly cost

efficient solution in the long run,

as you only need to change the

canvas in order to update the

visual expression. The changeable

canvas is washable at 40 degrees

celcius without damaging the

print or colorus. Perfect for easy

and hygienic maintenance.

CUSTOMIZABLE DESIGN The AKUART design is based on

a printed canvas that offers the

possibility to make any design

you like in any size possible. This

makes AKUART solutions easy to

fit into any type of decor. Choose

between different types of artwork

in the gallery, your own personal

artwork or any colour, photograph

or pattern you like.

ALL-INCLUDED GRAPHIC SERVICEWhen choosing AKUART, you also

get assistance from AKUART’s skilled

graphic design team. Besides being

experts in handling high resolution

images, they are also exeptionally

creative and never back down from a

good design challenge. Whether you

need help to secure a great result for

your own personal artwork, or want

a pitch for an interior design project,

they will get the job done.

NO LIMITATIONS TO ARTWORK OR COLOUR AKUART provides unlimited

possibilities when it comes to the

choice of artwork and colours. Due

to the functional design based on

a printed canvas, it’s possible to

print almost any design or colour

(as long as permission has been

decoration in the office, everyday life

has really become much more pleasant

for everybody. The fact that it was the

same product that solved both of our

problems is just genius. We have saved

a lot of time and money because of

AKUART.”

AKUART IN HALLWAYS & PASSAGEWAYS

AKUART IN CONFERENCE ROOMS

AKUART products are made using highly efficient and fully

certified sound absorbing materials from European producers.

The products consist of a frame design that creates space

between the acoustic panel and the underlying wall surface.

This optimises the acoustic properties further. The result is

an acoustic performance that is superior on the market and

thereby supports the increased requirements for room acoustics

in several countries. The strict requirements emphasise the

importance of effective wall absorbers, and in many cases, in

schools, day care centers and offices, it is recommended that 10

-15% of the total sound absorption in a room, is placed on the

wall surfaces.

ACOUSTIC EFFICIENCY THAT YOU CAN COUNT ON

PRODUCT CHARACTERISTICS

All AKUART products are tested by third party acousticians. This

means that architects, building consultants and designers can

count 100% on the acoustic characteristics of an AKUART sound

absorbing picture. Recent tests of AKUART SmartArt 60 shows

that the sound absorption is close to 100% in the frequency range

500-4000 Hz. The acoustic properties in the frequency range

125-500 Hz are also very good. AKUART is a perfect solution for

effective acoustic control, especially in environments with high

demands on acoustic conditions.AKUART Laboratory measurement of sound absorption Report no. P2.054.15

AKUART SMART WALL

15

PRODUCT DESCRIPTIONAKUART SmartWall is a whole new breed of acoustic screen walls. The uniqueness lies in the fact that the printed canvases on

both the front and back surface of the screen wall are changeable. This paves the way for creating different visual expressions

depending on which side of the wall you are looking at. AKUART SmartWall is categorized in absorption class A, the highest

absorption class available. This ensures that the propagation of sound in a given space is efficiently stopped. Up to 95% of the

acoustic energy hitting the wall surfaces is absorbed in the frequency range 500-4000 Hz. This screen wall is perfect for all types

of organizations in which sound sources such as servers, printers, colleagues, etc. cause acoustic problems.

SPECIFICATIONS:Product: Screen wall with changeable textile canvas



Frame: Aluminum - white powder coating

Feet: Steel with white powder coating.

Wheels: Rim polyamide in white, Tread Polyurethane

The ultra thin profile frames both front

and back side elegantly as well as

discretely making the images visually

pop out in the middle of the room.

The canvas on both frontside and

backside is detachable from the frame

and pulls off easily with the AKUART

hand tag. The canvases can even be

washed at on a gentle wash cycle at 40

degrees celcius.

The SmartWall also comes with wheels.

Sleek swivel castors with total lock

make it possible to move the screens

around easily and without any effort.
