Acoustics
Quiet that you can feel.
Independently tested at NRC 0.80 for the full-depth Arbor and NRC 0.70 for Arbor Slim. True NRC values are determined by various environment and installation factors.
Material
Real wood. Honest finish.
Real wood veneer slats over a PET acoustic felt backer. A UV coating on the wood veneer delays sun fade. Four Standard finishes (Teak, Oak, Walnut, Black Oak) plus a Reserve Collection premium line of four (Dark Walnut, Gray Oak, Smoked Oak, Washed Oak).
Install
Wall or ceiling. Six install methods.
Arbor is wall or ceiling mounted. Six installation methods are supported. For walls: direct screws, construction adhesive, or wall mounting with furring strips (for uneven walls). For ceilings: direct mounting with furring strips, T-grid mounting with screws, or T-grid mounting with drop-tiles. Full install guide and supporting downloads are available in the Resources library.
Two depth options.
