Words for thought | VISION AND MISSION
The best way of efficiently providing acoustical treatment to almost any room has been by using fibrous material that absorb sound (by converting sound energy into minuscule heat energy due to the vibration produced in the fibres by the sound waves) and cover them with fabrics. After the advent of MULTIPLEXES in India the requirement of Profiles to hold fabrics peaked. The search to bring down the prices lead to the influx of cheap fabric profiles. Unfortunately, this was achieved by decreasing the height of the profile and/or the thickness of the profiles and/or using too much of hardeners and other additives that effect the overall quality of the profile and thus degrades the fabric holding ability of the profiles.
We understand the needs of profiles that are designed for fabric panelling and have been designing profiles that address those needs. Profiles that are used for fabric panelling need to be able to counter the various strains that fabrics put on them, like fabric contraction and expansion due to temperature and humidity variations, Fabric weight, Pull of Gravity etc. (these can be covered in detail later). We realised that the basic design of the profile needed change and incorporated designs which allows maximum strength at the right thickness at the right places. We have thus been able to develop profiles that not only hold the fabric but retain them too.
The dBPRESA XP cores are designed to be give better performance at relatively lower thickness’ without being brittle. dBPRESA XP is designed to withstand user abuse and perform without losing its character for extraordinarily long time
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT
Continuous R & D by our firm has lend us the ability to develop profiles and Acoustic cores as required in the industry.
dBPRESA profiles with different system depths and aesthetical features like ‘SL’ for butt joints, ‘VG’ for V-groove an ‘LD’ for level differences. There are profiles that are still being designed and some are being tested. We are presently testing profiles to be used for customised panel sizes that will allow individual panel de-mount & fabric-change without disturbing or changing the Acoustical core. Our customers have appreciated the quality of the profiles and have been repeat users.
ACCESSORIES
Last but not the least, not only do we develop profiles, we have designed and developed special tools that will be used to tuck and stretch fabric into the profiles.
