Good-sounding Benefits
for room acoustic applications
Aesthetic Acoustics
TOPAKUSTIK and TOPPERFO combine acoustics and aesthetics in the best possible way. The aesthetically
attractive acoustic surfaces offer high sound absorption and the possibility of varying the absorption without
changing the surface appearance.
TOPAKUSTIK planks permit unlimited sequencing and make a joint-free ceiling and wall design possible.
And dont forget the importance of wood as an acoustic design material. Wood radiates an atmosphere and
warmth second to none. TOPAKUSTIK and TOPPERFO provide aesthetics and acoustics.
Harmony in Variations
Many TOPAKUSTIK and TOPPERFO types are available. These can be provided with all the customary wood
veneers, all colors based on RAL or NCS and various melamine coatings (eco-collection). This broad spectrum of variations is sure to meet all individual dcor requirements.
TOPAKUSTIK and TOPPERFO cores are produced in MDF, fire-retardant MDF or non-combustible gypsum, depending upon the fire safety specifications required.
Custom Production
TOPAKUSTIK and TOPPERFO are custom produced in our Lungern, Switzerland factory specifically for each
order. This enables production of all formats and sizes to match your building project. The panel joints can
match the architectural installation grid spacing and a wide variety of veneers can match existing colors and
textures. A wide variety of panel edge conditions is also available.
Overture to Finale
From planning to installation, we support you with extensive services and selection.
To help you make the correct choice, we provide product samples and absorption coefficients (to ISO 354) for
all our products. For planning purposes, you will find a great deal of useful information in this brochure. Naturally, our specialists are also at your disposal from planning to installation. The installation itself is done by

The refined acoustic system for wall and ceiling finishes. Many different
groove patterns are available. Narrow spaced grooves appear as a textured
surface (4/4, 5/3, 6/2, 9/2) wider spaced grooves can be seen individually by
the eyes (12/4, 13/3, 14/2, 28/4)*. Thanks to the rear perforation pattern, the
core panel retains its stability. For example, cut-outs are possible everywhere.
Please note: walls finished with lighter veneers (maple, birch) or lighter paint
(white) can because of the light-dark-contrast from surface to grooves create a
visually distrubing effect. We recommend using the TOPAKUSTIK designs with
2 mm wide groove e.g. type 6/2, 9/2 or 14/2 and/or using darker veneers or
darker paint colours.

All TOPAKUSTIK types are available with M and T perforations on the rear. This makes it possible for acousticians to match the TOPAKUSTIK surface treatment with the required absorption. The absorption coefficients stated in this brochure were measured according to the ISO 354 standard
and are set up as described above. Additional absorption coefficients with other cavity depths and other porous materials in the air cavity (e.g. only
fleece, melamine resin foam, fiberglass, etc.) are listed in the TOPAKUSTIK / TOPPERFO sound absorption document (p. 23).

TOPPERFO are perforated acoustic panels individually produced specifically for each project. Various panel sizes and hole diameters are available for selection. TOPPERFO-T and TOPPERFO-Clou, developed by nH,
are discreet in their appearance and simultaneously very effective in
sound absorption thanks to the small hole diameters. TOPPERFO panels
can be provided with various edge designs.

All TOPPERFO types are available with M and T perforations on the rear. This makes it possible for acousticians to match the TOPPERFO surface
treatment with the required absorption. The absorption coefficients stated in this brochure were measured according to the ISO 354 standard as
described above. Additional absorption coefficients with other porous materials in the air cavity (e.g. only fleece, melamine resin foam, fiberglass,
etc.) are listed in the TOPAKUSTIK / TOPPERFO sound absorption document (p. 23).

Core materials
TOPAKUSTIK and TOPPERFO products are manufactured from medium density fiberboard
(MDF) as a standard. Thanks to the homogeneous structure, MDF is is well suited for this
application. MDF panels are produced from soft and hard wood fibers with added binding
agents. Only panels meeting the international emission values E1 are processed.
If there are flame spread and smoke developed requirements, special core panels are used:

Core panels with natural varnishing: All the core panels are industrially

The application of the protective varnish can make these differences even more apparent.

Finishes
Natural wood varnishes:
The TOPAKUSTIK products are veneered in all customary types of wood. The varnishes are processed for each order in order to obtain the
most even appearance possible for color and pattern. Further, the veneer appearance is influenced by the cut and the composition of the
veneers. For example, TOPAKUSTIK planks are, as a rule, provided with the straightest and plainest rift veneers possible. For TOPAKUSTIK
and TOPPERFO panels, patterned veneers will be cut to match the width of the panels. Since wood is a natural product, the matching of the
veneer must be done in connection with each individual order.
Please note: Book matched quarter cut veneers may reflect light differently from neighbouring bands of veneer leaf. This may result in a
noticeable colour variation (light-dark stripe effect) in some species or fitches.
The illustrations below show types of wood frequently used for ceiling and wall coatings.
The lengths stated show you limitations with regard to the maximum lengths. Ideal lengths (with regard to a wider selection of veneers) are
shorter as a matter of principle. The illustrations cannot act as a reference, either for the color or for the patterning.

TOPAKUSTIK planks
(For more information consult the TOPAKUSTIK assembly manual)
Mounting on wooden Battens: The TOPAKUSTIK planks are installed like conventional
tongue and groove strips. The important thing is that the compressed air pressure used for the nailing
or stapling gun is set precisely, so the staples do not protrude in the groove or penetrate too deeply.
Mounting on Metal Ceiling Grids: The TOPAKUSTIK plank is fitted to the suspended T-bar
rail with special mounting clips. This form of assembly is ideal for non-flammable ceiling finishes.
TOPAKUSTIK panels
(For more information consult the TOPAKUSTIK assembly manual)
Z-System: Every other panel is inserted and can easily be removed by lifting. This system is suitable for all ceilings.
G-System: Each panel is easy to remove by lifting. This system is suited for panels up to about
500 mm in width.
Planks
Offset joints:
The installation with offset joints permits a
slight material expansion without it becoming visible. In combination with joint
widths of about 3 mm, a clear and tidy appearance of the joints result.

Formed Shapes
For ceiling clouds, curved walls and other shapes TOPAKUSTIK
and TOPPERFO elements can be used for shaped wall and ceiling
finishes without significant additional effort. For radii above 10
meters, the TOPAKUSTIK planks are assembled on the round
sub-construction in a segmented way. For smaller radii, the
planks or panels can be made flexible by deeper relief grooving
on the rear side. In this way, the panels can simply be adapted
to the curved sub-construction.

Sports halls
Wall and ceiling finishes are subjected to high impacts in sports halls. TOPAKUSTIK and TOPPERFO finishes, in combination with the sub-construction systems specifically developed for sports venues, fulfil the high requirements with regard to mechanical impact and room acoustics in an optimal way.
Various TOPAKUSTIK and TOPPERFO products have been tested and certified to DIN 18 032 part 3 by the Otto-Graf Institute of Stuttgart University.

Swimming pools
For acoustic finishes in high humidity rooms, requirements corresponding to the application are to be fulfilled, e.g.:
Ceilings and walls constructed flawlessly as regards construction physics
Rear ventilation of wall and ceiling finish
Use of corrosion-proof sub-construction materials
Use of specific, moisture-resistant core panels in production
Use of specific varnishes or impregnations
Consideration of the (extraordinary) shrinkage and swelling properties of the core panels
