A practical wall-plane starting point
Make the acoustic treatment part of the interior.
AWP brings an absorptive core and fabric finish into a panel that can respond to the room’s dimensions, visual rhythm and attachment condition.
QTS positions AWP as a general-purpose acoustical wall panel. That makes it a useful starting family for many occupied interiors, while leaving the exact performance, finish and installation decisions to the selected project configuration.
- What it does
- Adds absorptive treatment to an occupied wall plane.
- What changes
- Thickness, dimensions, edge profile, finish and mounting method.
- What to verify
- Samples, test data and installation details for the selected assembly.
Use the physical sample and project submittal to verify color, texture and construction.
Configuration ledger
Five decisions shape the panel.
These are project starting points, not an availability promise. Verify the selected combination of core, thickness, size, edge, finish and mounting with QTS.
Bring to the conversation: wall dimensions, elevations, substrate, room use, finish direction and acoustic criteria. Legacy option lists vary, so verify any 3-inch thickness or kerfed-edge selection.
Thickness & size
Product reference5/8, 1, 1½, 2, 3 and 4 inches; standard maximum 48 × 120 inches nominal.
Project decisionSelected dimensions, tolerances, custom shapes and any larger-panel request.
Edge
Product referenceSquare, bevel, miter, radius and kerfed-for-spline profiles; aluminum edge is listed for square-edge panels.
Project decisionProfile, reveal, perimeter condition and treatment of field cuts.
Finish
Product referenceGuilford FR701 2100 Series is listed as standard; other fabrics and perforated vinyls are listed as options.
Project decisionTextile, color, dye lot, cleanability and test documentation.
Mounting
Product referenceAdhesive with impaling clips, mechanical clips and concealed spline; the written specification also references Z-clips.
Project decisionSubstrate, attachment method, panel access and installer coordination.
From room information to buildable panel
Resolve the system in the right order.
Start with the wall and the room. Product choices become more useful once the project team has defined the condition they have to solve.
-
01
Share the wall condition
Provide dimensions, elevations, substrate information, photos and key details.
-
02
Set the acoustic criteria
Define the room use and performance criteria before choosing thickness.
-
03
Coordinate the visible system
Resolve size, layout, edge, fabric direction and adjacent finishes together.
-
04
Complete the project record
Request samples, test data and mounting details for the selected assembly.
Acoustic reference
Use published performance as a starting point.
The table reproduces the available AWP reference. Project decisions should use a test report that matches the selected thickness, finish, mounting and test configuration.
Open the AWP product PDF| Panel thickness | Published NRC |
|---|---|
| 5/8 inch | 0.55–0.60 |
| 1 inch | 0.85–0.90 |
| 1½ inches | 0.95–1.00 |
| 2 inches | 1.00–1.05 |
The published table does not provide NRC values for the listed 3- or 4-inch options. No value is inferred here. Request current ASTM C423 test documentation and the applicable mounting details.
Fire-test boundary
The written source specification describes panels with the standard fabric as Class A under ASTM E84, with flame spread of 25 or less. Do not apply that statement to every finish or assembly; request current test documentation for the selected product.
Application examples
One panel family. Different room demands.
Room use helps establish the acoustic criteria, finish priorities and durability conversation. QTS identifies the following types of commercial interiors for AWP.
Learning & music
- Classrooms
- Band rooms
- Libraries
Collaboration & media
- Conference rooms
- Call centers
- Broadcast rooms
Gathering & performance
- Auditoriums
- Churches
- Civic centers
Documents & coordination
Build the project record.
The available AWP PDF uses an older template and remains useful as a starting point. Request assembly-specific product data, test reports, finish information and mounting guidance before submittal.
Request samples or submittal dataSpecification inputs
Identify the product and selected thickness, dimensions, edge, finish and mounting method. Coordinate physical samples, product data, acoustic test data, fire-test documentation and maintenance information as applicable.
Installation coordination
Confirm field dimensions and substrate conditions before fabrication. Coordinate penetrations, trim, outlets, wall protection, reveals and access requirements with the installer and adjacent trades.
Care & replacement planning
Review the selected finish’s current cleaning guidance and document panel access or replacement expectations when the wall will remain active after occupancy.
AWP questions
Clarify before the panel is specified.
Use the product information to frame the conversation, then verify the selected assembly with QTS.
What should I send QTS for an AWP review?
Send wall elevations or dimensions, room use, substrate information, photos, finish direction, acoustic criteria and the project location. Include any key penetrations, reveals, trim or adjacent materials.
Does AWP block sound between rooms?
The published AWP information describes an absorptive wall treatment and reports NRC values. It does not provide a sound-isolation rating for the wall construction. Coordinate isolation requirements with the complete partition assembly.
Is 48 × 120 inches the only panel size?
No. The source describes 48 × 120 inches as the published standard maximum and says custom sizes, shapes and larger sizes may be available by consultation. Confirm the exact size and construction currently available for the project.
Which NRC value applies to my panel?
The published table varies by thickness and does not state values for every listed option. Request the current ASTM C423 test documentation that matches the selected thickness, finish and mounting configuration.
Does the published Class A statement cover every finish?
No universal statement is made here. The written source specification ties its ASTM E84 Class A language to panels with the standard fabric. Confirm current fire-test documentation for the exact fabric and assembly being considered.
Have a wall condition to resolve?
Bring QTS the room.
Share the drawings, dimensions, photos, finish intent and performance criteria. QTS can help organize the AWP configuration and current project information that follows.
