ACOUSTICS: LINEA Plank panels without additional acoustic insulation will act as a sound diffuser and should be considered acoustically transparent. When the LINEA Plank is paired with acoustical insulation or duct liner behind, the panels can achieve high sound absorption.
FIRE RATING: Solid Wood FX Lumberguard or FX Lumberguard XT chemical fire retardants are factory applied to all LINEA Plank wood slats prior to further finishing to achieve a Class A Fire Rating when tested to ASTM E-84 (USA) and CAN/ULC S102 (Canada). When site cutting is required, FX
Lumberguard can be re–applied to the cut locations and re–sealed to bring the panel back into conformance. Other topically applied chemical fire retardants or intumescent finishes may be used in lieu of FX Lumberguard to achieve Class A Fire Rating. In some cases, the specifying consultant
may need to file an Alternate Solution with local authorities for approval. LINEA suggests consulting with local building code consultants during the specifying stage to avoid any potential issues related to Fire Rating.
Veneer/Composite LINEA Plank panels with real wood or engineered wood veneers are laminated to Class A Fire Rated Composite MDF or Particle Board cores. The combination of Wood Veneer and Finish is less than 1mm thick (0.5mm in most cases) and therefore should not be considered significant to the overall rating.
SEISMIC: LINEA Plank panels are engineered for applications in all seismic areas when installed per LINEA installation instructions.
SITE CONDITIONS: Wood products are hygroscopic in nature and must be stored, installed & maintained in a controlled building environment. Temperature range should be maintained between 60° – 90° F (15° – 32°C). Relative Humidity range should be kept within a minimum 25% – max. 55% (not to exceed 20% RH from peaks to valleys). Failure to maintain site conditions will void the LINEA Warranty.
