Design Composite Lightweight Translucent Acoustic Panels

AIR-board®

The AIR-board® honeycomb cores are available in different cell sizes, structures and colours. The bonding of the cores with the most diverse surface layers creates architectural panels with exceptional properties and visually impressive effects.

Translucency and light-scattering effects complement the unique technical characteristics such as fire resistance (UV PC difficult to ignite), low weight, very good stiffness and make the bonded panels very attractive for a wide range of applications. Illuminated or backlit, attractive light effects are created by the transparent honeycomb structure in the core of the panels.

Versatile AIR-board® panels

The modular system of the sandwich panels from design composite integrates innovative decorative interior design, room acoustics and light planning. The elements made of high-quality thermoplastics can be used in many different ways in interior architecture and can be designed individually in colour and shape. Newly developed profile systems allow creative applications and exciting possibilities to be designed. The design composite planning team advises and supports all phases of technical and design implementation.

Illuminated or backlit, attractive light effects are created by the transparent honeycomb structure in the core of the panels.

From the visually pleasing partition in the office to the facade solution to the sophisticated shop design, everything is possible.

System solutions, including mounting frames and mounting aids, are especially valuable for interior design.

Translucent

Panels made of translucent honeycomb cores with UV-stable polycarbonate or acrylic facing sheets are primarily used as decorative elements in interior and exterior areas.

Unique

The panel’s special effects are mainly from light scattering and light absorption, backlighting, integration of lights and other decorative materials.

Versatile

Numerous possibilities in the individual design of the architectural panels regarding colour, surface, core, shape and special effects. Printed panels are also possible as well as shaping or special edge banding.

AIR-board®

By means of a special bonding technology, it is possible to combine honeycomb-like cores with transparent thermoplastic facing sheets to form panels with unique optics.

The panels are available in 3 core versions:

• AIR-board®: 7 mm cell diameter
• big AIR-board®: 12 mm cell diameter
• chaos AIR-board®: 4, 7 und 12 mm cell diameter

The numerous variants of the AIR-board® family are also distinguished by different surface layer materials, surface structures, physical properties, dimensions and colours.

Popular applications: sun screens, interior design, wall / ceiling, partitions, doors, shop and exhibition construction, stage construction, artistic applications, furniture, lighting design.

AIR-board® UV PC | AIR-board® UV PC color

The plates with polycarbonate facing sheets are characterized by translucent optics and the interesting 3D light scattering effects. The fire resistant and UV stable panels can be combined freely in colour, core design, form (2D) and thickness together with many additional features.

AIR-board® UV satin

The panels with acrylic facing sheets have a particularly interesting appearance with optimized light scattering due to their satin surface. The panels remain translucent but are less transparent. In addition the acrylic surface is particularly scratch-resistant and robust.

Design your Composite

The architectural panels from design composite can be combined as desired and can be individually arranged according to individual requirements. Honeycomb structure, colours, shapes (2D), thicknesses and additional design features such as digital printing or the integration of elements, e.g. Glass crystals can be implemented individually as desired.

In this way the design elements can be tailor-made for your very special requirements – from a single piece to the start of serial production.

Architectural Translucent Panels

Exterior & Interior

In design composites core production facility unique honeycomb cores with a special structure are produced. They help the thermoplastic design elements to create fascinating effects with regard to light scattering and light absorption. The panels with TRIcore or AIR-board® honeycomb cores and polycarbonate or acrylic cover layers can be designed freely in colour, core design, shape, thickness and with many additional features such as printing. The decorative elements can be used in interior and exterior architecture as well as a multifunctional acoustic panel.

clear-PEP®

The unmistakeable honeycomb cores for the clear-PEP® series are produced on the company’s proprietary and patented core plant. The unique characteristic of the structure not only gives the panels a unique depth effect but also extremely high stiffness.

Translucent clear-PEP® Panels

Unique design and an infinite number of possible applications characterise the design composite thermoplastic panels. Thanks to their high-strength thermoplastic polycarbonate TRIcore honeycomb core from our own production the panels not only open up a wide range of design possibilities with regard to light effects, shapes and colours, but they are also particularly robust and stiff. The clear-PEP® architectural panels from design composite are therefore not only suitable as optically appealing elements for a wide range of applications in architecture but their technical properties are also highly valued.

Illuminated or backlit, attractive light effects are created by the transparent honeycomb structure in the core of the panels. From the visually pleasing partition wall in the office to the facade solution, the staircase or as a floor construction to the sophisticated shop design, everything is possible. The panels can be shaped two-dimensionally, resulting in attractive design variations and unique light effects. The curvature of the translucent panels provides unique visual effects.

System solutions, including mounting frames and mounting aids, are especially valuable for interior design.
