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 don’t 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 spec-
trum of variations is sure to meet all individual décor requirements.
TOPAKUSTIK and TOPPERFO cores are produced in MDF, fire-retardant MDF or non-combustible gypsum, de-
pending 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. Natu-
rally, our specialists are also at your disposal – from planning to installation. The installation itself is done by
the approved contractor.

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 surfa-
ce 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).

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
manufactured. Color differences, even within one production batch, cannot be avoided.
The application of the protective varnish can make these differences even more apparent.

Finishes
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.
A standard or specified high-quality varnish is provided on all orders. Light kinds of wood such as maple or birch are varnished with a slight
lightening effect as a matter of principle.
NAM = natural, gloss varnish
AUM = lightening, gloss varnish
eco coating
TOPAKUSTIK and TOPPERFO products are also available
in three attractive melamine coatings. All the necessary
information can be found in the dimension tables of the
various TOPAKUSTIK and TOPPERFO types.
eco plus collection: Further melamine finishes for
quantities above 150 m2 upon request.
HPL coating: All customary HPL coatings are possi-
ble. Contact factory for details.

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 sui-
table 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.
Cabinet fronts
Cabinet fronts or rear walls of cabinets can be used ideally as sound absorbers.
The following products have particularly proven their usefulness: TOPAKUSTIK 14/2, 9/2, 6/2, TOPPERFO-T and Clou.
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. Radius > 3 m Radius > 8 m

Sports halls
Wall and ceiling finishes are subjected to high impacts in sports halls. TOPAKUSTIK and TOPPERFO finishes, in combination with the sub-construc-
tion systems specifically developed for sports venues, fulfil the high requirements with regard to mechanical impact and room acoustics in an opti-
mal 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.
