Reverberation Control Panel 50mm

Name: Reverberation Control Panel 50mm
Brand: C-ATS
SKU: CA-REV-CP-50

A broadband foam absorber that controls reverberation time.

Absorbs across the mid and high band, bringing decay time to the target for a small room.

Price on application

Time and labour saved: Time saving is not the point: C-ATS is no more and no less labour intensive than other acoustic treatment products. The advantage is a known performance, in the minimum space, worked with confidence. On this panel the backing is pre-applied, so it is peel and stick with no fixings and no cutting on site, and the 18 C conditioning rule travels with that. Whole-box coverage at 1.44 m2.

What it replaces: Commodity foam bought by the sheet, which is the real competitor. The difference is not the material: it is measured performance plus a system that says how much to use and where.

Specification

How it works: Dense open-cell foam, 50 mm, working by flow resistance across a wide band above roughly 200 Hz.
What it is for: Broad wall and ceiling coverage, checkerboarded toward the rear; around surround speakers.
What it is not for: Bass. It has a weak low-frequency tail and is not the resonance answer: that is what the RES-CP exists for.
Limits: Above roughly 200 Hz is where it works. Over-use dulls a room, which is a design question rather than a product limit.

Measured absorption

Design-stage reference, free/unfixed mounting. Coefficients above 1.0 are normal for measured Sabine absorption.

Scope of supply: 300 x 300 x 50 mm panel, 0.09 m2 each; 16 per box = 1.44 m2; pre-applied adhesive backing.
Boxes and coverage: Every box covers 1.44 m2. Quantities round up to whole boxes: a dealer buys full boxes.
Configuration: One size at 50 mm.
Where it sits: Behind a stretch-fabric finish, concealed. Any fabric system works; Fabric Walls pairs well and is not a dependency.

What it needs from other trades: A clean, dry substrate; a room conditioned above 18 C for 24 hours before installation, because the adhesive is temperature-sensitive; optionally one 25 mm screw per panel as permanent insurance.
Fire: Class 0, which applies to the foam itself. There is no core: the panel is foam with an adhesive layer on the back. Specified projects will ask for reaction-to-fire evidence: Class 0 in the UK, EN 13501-1 in Europe, IMO/SOLAS at sea. Confirm the certificate for the exact product and finish before specifying.

Test basis: BSRIA Report 100241/1, BS EN ISO 354:2003, BSRIA Bracknell, 210 m3 chamber. Tested 24 July 2019, reported 3 March 2020, free/unfixed mounting. Design-stage reference figures, not installed-effective values.
What is supported: Measured surface absorption per BSRIA Report 100241/1, BS EN ISO 354:2003; 50 mm depth; Class 0, which applies to the foam itself, certificate to be confirmed per product and finish.
What is not claimed: Low-frequency or resonance performance. No EN 13501-1 classification until it is recorded.
