** NOTE TO SPECIFIER ** Flexospan's acoustical panels offer economical solutions to meet noise reduction requirements and building code regulations in industrial areas. Acoustical panels reduce noise levels by absorbing sound and by slowing the rate of sound-wave transmissions. Our acoustical panel is field assembled. It can be produced in a variety of panel profiles, with complementary flashings. Delete if not required.
ACOUSTICAL PANELS
Acoustical Panels: Perforated metal profile panel as manufactured by Flexospan.
Refer to Drawings for profiles, material requirements and assembly application.
EXECUTION
EXAMINATION
Do not begin installation until substrates have been properly prepared.
Tolerance Requirements: No panels shall be erected if the structural steel does not meet the tolerances of the AISC Code, Section 7. It is the responsibility of the Contractor to examine this alignment before the panels are erected. The Contractor is responsible for properly installing the roof system and ensuring that all purlins or sub-framing members are properly installed.
If structural steel erection is the responsibility of another installer, notify Architect of unsatisfactory conditions before proceeding.
PREPARATION
Clean surfaces thoroughly prior to installation.
Prepare surfaces using the methods recommended by the manufacturer for achieving the best result for the substrate under the project conditions.
