Indoor Air Quality
• VOC (Volatile Organic Compound) free
• Cadmium free
• BPA free
• Antistatic: typical average for High Gloss – 4.10 at 11ohms. This property makes Laqfoil hypoallergenic, as it
repels particulates
• Non-Toxic as confirmed by tests by: United States Testing Company Inc. Biological Services Division, and
International Maritime Organisation (IMO)
• Antifungal - Does not provide a growth substrate to moulds or fungi
Fire Safety
• Fire Rating: CAN-S102 & ASTM-E84. Awarded new Euro classification to: EN13501-1, Rating: B S1 d0, UK Equivalent to Class “0” designation for building regulations. (European Tested) M1 in France (Paris Police Laboratory classification), M1 in Belgium – B1 in Germany – Class 1 in Canada, USA, Italy – Class 0 in Great Britain. Peripheral tracks, cornices: PVC M1 – M0 aluminium.
• May be installed with sprinkler systems.
• Compatable with safety devices: Remote surveillance cameras, emergency illumination and signage and all
types of technical devices can be incorporated in Laqfoil stretch ceilings and walls.
Hygiene
• Washable and Hospital-Grade Sanitizable
• Hygenic enough to eat off of! The National Centre for Veterinary and Food Studies of the French Ministry
of Agriculture certified that Laqfoil stretch membrane complies with food hygiene requirements. The British Royal Health and Safety Institute certified, after tests, that Laqfoil stretch membrane meets hygiene standards perfectly. Greenall Food, a microbiology consultant, reported that after sterilisation Laqfoil stretch membrane does not show bacterial growth.
• Hygiene Typical Microbiological Trial 14 Days: chlorinated solution wipe, after 7 days inoculated
• Bacterium – E.Coli, Listeria, Salmonella, Yeast, Mould – NONE DETECTED. (European Tested)
• Soundproofing standard NF S31-003. Qualibat qualification No. 7152. Laqfoil Acoustic complies with the
technical recommendations of the French Ministry of Education for classrooms (APAVE Alsace). Absorption coefficient determined by the CSTB
Environmental Sustainability
• Recyclable (all membrane and track materials)
• Cut to size and harpooned here in North America
• Low in weight and volume for transportation
• Thermal insulating properties reduce heating & air conditioning costs & energy consumption • Lasts several times longer than other materials
• No off-gassing or fumes
• No harsh or toxic chemicals required to clean, even right before and after installation
• Waste-free installation procedure
Water Safety
• After a Stretch Ceiling is assembled, it can sustain considerable loads (over 100 kg applied to 1 sq. meter area) without breaking or rupturing. Impermeable to water and helps minimise water damage (except Laqfoil acoustic membrane)
Acoustical Properties
• Soundproofing standard NF S31-003.
• Qualibat qualification No. 7152
• Laqfoil Acoustic complies with the technical recommendations of the French Ministry of Education for classrooms
(APAVE Alsace)
