Microperforated Wood Planks for Acoustic Performance

MCM Acoustical Microperforated Wood Planks have a natural wood veneer laminated to 5/8” Fire-Rated MDF. Only after lamination is the face microperforated with 0.5mm (1/50”) perforations and the rear perforated with 9mm (3/8”) for acoustical performance. This eliminates the risk of delamination or hole clogging common to products that are laminated after perforation.

Features

Dimensions:

Microperforated Wood Planks are produced in a standard width of 192mm (7 9/16”) and a standard length of 2438mm or 3048mm (8’ or 10’). Custom plank widths and lengths are also available.

Veneers:

The Planks can be customized in a variety of wood veneers. MCM Acoustical lays up its own veneer. For planks, we offer random-matched.

Finishes:

The Microperforated Wood Planks can be finished in standard clear lacquer or can be custom stained to match a control sample. The Planks can also be painted.
