Decoustics’ Quadrillo® acoustical ceiling and wall panels are seen—but not heard—throughout the Adobe World Headquarters in San Jose, California.
Panels are finished in custom-stained White Oak natural wood veneer that perfectly matches the millwork along the bottom of the staircase. Precision custom-engineering, manufacturing, and installation deliver seamless alignment and transition from walls to ceiling, suggesting a fanning out design.
Quadrillo® panels offer exceptional acoustical performance. By effectively absorbing noises and eliminating echoes, they ensure speech intelligibility in this open and spacious collaboration space.
High-performance acoustics that push the boundaries of designing with wood aesthetics.
Abundant customization capabilities deliver the utmost design flexibility. Quadrillo panels contain a high-performance no-added urea formaldehyde core sandwiched within an engineered composite wood frame. Acoustical absorption is achieved through the acoustical core and unique perforations: patented v-grooves create a four-sided funnel that allows sound to arrive from a variety of angles, focusing the transfer of energy over a broader surface area of absorption. The percentage of open area is approximately 4%.
Quadrillo can be completely customized to suit specific project requirements. It’s a fully-engineered product, and is available in a large range of natural wood veneers, stains, or paint finishes.
