day. With impressive sound properties, and a range of colours available it is an incredibly versatile range that can be found everywhere from hotels and offices to classrooms and retail environments.
The range has been named after the white sandy beaches of the Caribbean due to the finely sanded finish of the tile’s surface. The Aruba tile also reflects the vibrancy and colourful nature of the Caribbean, as it is available in 35 colours, the largest option of standard colours available on the UK market. For further design creativity,

Troldtekt wood wool acoustic panelling with a black fi nish was specifi ed throughout the space, punctuated by a bespoke lighting track with drop-down custom-made LED light battens further emphasising the urban and industrial aesthetic look. Troldtekt panels were specifi ed for their excellent acoustic properties and ability to dramatically reduce sound reverberation as well as their superior environmental credentials. Troldtekt acoustic panels are available in a variety of different structures and colours, combining superior sound absorption with an award-winning design. The Troldtekt range has a minimum expected life cycle of 50 years coupled with excellent resistance to humidity and tested to meet ball impact standards. The range is available in various

a thorough solution. Combining Class C sound absorption with a sound attenuation level of 34 dB, the tile controls background noise levels whilst allowing sound to travel, creating an acoustically comfortable setting. It contains up to 44% recycled content, is 100% recyclable and is scratch resistant. Recently specified for an industrial site in
one of the UK’s most important manufacturing areas, the coloured Aruba tile was able to meet the aesthetic, functional and acoustic requirements set out for the project.
Aruba hH The Aruba hH tile offers enhanced high humidity resistance, making it ideal for areas such as changing rooms. It also has the same acoustic qualities as the Aruba tile; but can remain stable in conditions of up to 99% Relative Humidity (RH).
Aruba Max The Aruba Max is a more robust variation of the standard Aruba tile, designed for interiors that require a higher technical performance. With an increased tile thickness, it offers higher sound attenuation levels of 35 dB, and is perfect for settings such as classrooms where sound still has to travel but in a controlled manner.
Aruba dB
For internal settings that require extra levels of privacy such as meeting rooms and small offices, the Aruba dB tile offers the highest sound absorption rating at 39 dB and reduces sound transmission through the ceiling void.
