8 Introduction Timelessly modern and worldwide in demand Success stories like the story of the magnesite bonded wood wool panel are always a combination of a clear vision, innovation and consistency. Introduced as a revolutionary building product in 1908, the wood wool panel has undergone an impressive development. With the first steps towards function and design, the path to becoming a cult object began in From Japan to America, from Finland to South Africa, it was and still is the eye-catcher in many well-known buildings, not only on the ceiling. Highly functional and timelessly attractive, this is how it has met the demands of changing architectural styles. Heradesign, headquartered in Ferndorf, Austria, has been a business unit of Knauf Insulation GmbH since The company has its roots in the Heraklith AG, to which the cult status of the products as well as its professional competence can be attributed.

10 Sustainability Z FIW München 0751 / 03 Unilever Headquarters, Hamburg, Germany photo credits: Adam Mork In the green zone Wood, magnesite and water are the principal components of the Heradesign acoustic panels so they are completely harmless in terms of building biology. Heradesign s magnesite bonded wood wool panel is a natural product in line with the current trend for sustainable materials. product and in line with the current trend. But we are not talking about a short-lived fashion here: Heradesign acoustic panels can prove a durability of more than 80 years in buildings, and since 2010 Heradesign has been offering a 15 year warranty on the functionality of all wood wool products. In case it should one day become necessary: magnesite bonded wood wool panels can also be recycled. Because, when talking about sustainability in the building industry, the topic of disposal is becoming more and more important. Acoustics and design with a clear, green conscience! 10

12 Warranty Heradesign offers a 15 year warranty on all wood wool based acoustic solutions. In most cases, only the statutory warranty period is customary for this product category, which is ten years at most, depending on the country. Intensive, long-term studies and experience have shown that the functionality of Heradesign acoustic solutions continues for decades. This is why Heradesign offers a 15 year warranty on the functionality of wood wool acoustic solutions. By sustainability Heradesign also means the durability of its products and their functionality. A requirement for warranty claims is, of course, that the required installation conditions and processing guidelines are observed. The importance of skilled installation cannot be emphasised enough. The performance of an acoustic solution over a longer period of time depends significantly on the design chosen, the quality of installation and the handling of the product. The training sessions for installation workers and sales partners offered by Heradesign since mid-2010 at the in-house training and competence centre, campus, contribute to gaining an in-depth understanding of high quality installation and professional handling of the valuable acoustic products. * This warranty declaration is not valid for France, Canada and the USA. 12

13 Product properties By using high-quality raw materials and innovative production technologies, Heradesign wood wool acoustic panels offer a multitude of design possibilities and functionality. The results are the following product properties and benefits: Open and smooth surface structure Only with the technologies and quality standards developed by Heradesign is it possible to create open, homogeneous surface structures that appear light-weight with a simultaneously low bonding agent incrustation. This unique structure gives the panels an exquisite and exclusive character and enables them to be used in high-quality interior applications. Dimensional accuracy and tolerances The sheet forming technology as used only by Heradesign enables the production of thickness tolerances of only +/- 1 mm. Edge design The production technology and bonding agent make exact and high-quality edge designs for almost all ceiling systems and profiles that are available on the market possible. Sound absorption As decorative applications in wall and ceiling constructions, Heradesign acoustic panels can reach sound absorption values of up to αw = 1.0. Reaction to fire non-combustibility Heradesign acoustic panels have a standard B s1, d0 reaction to fire class. In addition, the world s only wood wool acoustic panels of reaction to fire class A2 s1, d0 can be offered with the products Heradesign superfine A2 and Heradesign fine A2! Durability Suitable for indoor conditions with relative air humidity of up to 90%. Magnesite protects the wood cells perfectly against ageing and destruction due to fungal attack. Humidity and climate regulation Magnesite is a hygroscopic binder and due to this is recognised by building biology. This means that in addition to their acoustic and decorative properties, Heradesign acoustic panels have humidity and climate regulating functions. Shrinkage behaviour Heradesign acoustic panels are delivered with an optimally conditioned equilibrium moisture content and therefore have a shrinkage behaviour of only +/- 1 mm when installed. As a result, practically no joint formation on the ceiling is detectable. Nature meets trend In addition to having received the building biology harmlessness certificate (Institute for Building Biology in Rosenheim), Heradesign also relies on sustainability and resource conservation as regards product technology and raw material use (EPD AUB Environmental Product Declaration acc. to EN ISO 14025). High-quality and sustainable raw materials With magnesite, Heradesign uses the ideal bonding agent for wood fibres. Magnesite protects the fibres and keeps them permanently flexible. Furthermore, only wood from sustainable Austrian forestry is used for the manufacturing process (PEFC certified). High mechanical strength Crash test with 90 km/h Heradesign acoustic panels pass the test for safety against ball throwing according to DIN and EN without difficulty! This is also a result of using magnesite as a bonding agent, which guarantees durable fibre elasticity and stability due to its properties. Product portfolio Heradesign is the only manufacturer of visible wood wool applications that in addition to the classic fibre surfaces also offers decorative closed-pored surfaces. 13

36 Systems Baffles Baffles when ceilings are to remain visible There are rooms that require an optimisation of acoustics, but do not allow lining of the entire ceiling. This may be due to technical installations running along the ceiling, or it may be desired for architectural reasons that the original ceiling remains visible. Heradesign baffles are ideal in this case! Baffles are independent, 3-layer acoustic modules with a mineral wool core and wood wool acoustic layers on both sides. The combination of wood wool and mineral wool enables outstanding absorption values in a wide frequency range. Thanks to their special shape, baffles create unique design options, which is why they are also very popular as design elements in schools or public buildings. targeted acoustic solutions for areas where sound absorption is required high sound absorption properties different sizes, surfaces and frame designs Extensive, detailed information and sketches can be found at 36

They provide an individual optimisation of acoustics, thereby considerably improving speech intelligibility and concentration. However, ceiling rafts are more than simply acoustic solutions: the unique wood wool appearance of the surface structure also makes visually appealing and surprising design options possible. Heradesign ceiling rafts are also highly recommended as an additional sound absorption measure. Thanks to their fast installation, the acoustics and well-being in the room can be optimised without the need to install or exchange the whole ceiling. Furthermore, ceiling rafts enable segmentation of areas in the same room without having to erect dividing walls or partitions. This saves cost and space. individual optimisation of acoustics design possibilities flexible application Extensive, detailed information and sketches can be found at 38

51 General processing information Processing information and installation instructions 4 Heradesign acoustic panels are delivered to the building site carefully packed and quality tested. However, further important factors for obtaining a high quality ceiling or ceiling design are exact processing and suitable work conditions. This is because only careful work and high product quality standards ensure an excellent result. Material and humidity Due to the organic component of wood, in the Heradesign panels, slight deviations in the size cannot be ruled out. Particularly if there is strongly fluctuating humidity, dimensional changes can occur due to the shrinkage and swelling behaviours of the panels. Production tolerances: For nominal dimensions (length/width/thickness): ± 1 mm For lengths over 1250 mm: length ± 2 mm; width/thickness ± 1 mm Final shrinkage in a standard climate of 23 C and 50% rel. humidity: Change of length: max. ± 1 Change of width: max. ± 3 Colour and structure Due to the organic nature of the raw materials magnesite and wood, differences in the colour and structure may occur. The installation direction (preferred fibre direction), marked by an arrow on the back of the panel, must be observed for square panels. Compared to standard products, A2 products have a more inhomogeneous density of the fibre structure on the surface. Acoustic panels with the fibre structures macro, superfine, fine, fine A2 and superfine A2 can also be coloured multiple times without losing their outstanding sound absorption properties. Colour quality Interior emulsion paint is used for colouring Heradesign acoustic panels in standard white, while silicate paints based on potassium silicate with an organic bonding agent additive are used for colouring Heradesign acoustic panels in a natural tone, pastel colours or solid colours. For applications with constant rel. humidity between 80% and 90% the paint should be used with a BFA additive. For sheltered outdoor applications the type with exterior paint must be used. Storage and installation conditions The installation of Heradesign acoustic panels is part of dry work and interior decorating and may only be carried out under controlled humidity and temperature conditions. All dust-causing construction measures must be completed before starting the installation. It must no longer be possible for moisture or rain water to penetrate. Furthermore, before starting with the installation work, a closed building envelope has to be ensured and all screed work and internal plastering must have been completed at least 14 days prior to the beginning of installation. Only install panels in rooms where the following conditions are insured: For heated or air-conditioned rooms: maximum relative humidity 75%, temperature at least +7 C. For unheated rooms: maximum relative humidity 85%, temperature at least +5 C. Conditioning or acclimatisation: The panels need to be stored without the packaging for at least three days in the room where they are to be installed, under the same conditions as when the room will be in use (incl. heating and climate situation). The maximum installation moisture of the Heradesign acoustic panels must not exceed 15% by weight. Application limits Heradesign acoustic panels are suitable for applications up to constant relative humidity of 90%.
