Scaled model of state of the art theatre wall



As each project moves into the manufacturing

process, two contrasting yet complementary elements

come into play: State of the Art technology and

traditional craftmans skills.

We utilise the most modern construction processes,

such as CAD/CAM - Linked CNC Machinery,

Advanced five axis profiling and vacuum infusion

mouldings ensuring every project is millimetre perfect.

Its then down to our highly skilled workforce of

technicians and craftsmen to ensure that the finish

and fitting of every project is totally flawless.

Exceptional quality is just as evident in the level of

equipment and appointment that goes into every

project.These are the elements that giveWoodfit a

significant edge over our compeditors.We source the

finest materials from around the world for you to

choose from, including a selection of beautiful woods,

fabrics, leather and veneers.You can then sit down

with our talented team to create the look you want

whether it’s chic minimalist or more traditional.The

result will be a project worthy of expression.

INNOVATIVE DESIGNYour choices define you

By choosingWoodfit you send out an unequivocal

message recognised in Ireland and now we are ready

to be chosen the world over.We will deliver the finest

quality performance and ingenious designs which are

the hallmark of theWoodfit name.

AtWoodfit, we believe in setting it right from the start.

To achieve this we spend time and resources at design

stage with the architect or designer using computerised

software.This process allows our experienced

technicians and acousticians to alter shapes and details

thereby optimising performance and guaranteeing the

success of each project.

ACOUSTIC PANELS

Woodfit offers a wide range of surface finishes and

accessories for walls and ceilings.A wall or ceiling in

wood or fabric immediately provides a room with

aesthetic charm while offering fire protection

combined with acoustic properties.

In contrast to similar companies who offer a generic

panelling,Woodfit has the ability to design, test and

manufacture acoustic panels to any architects or

designers requirements.Acoustic panels can be flat,

curved slotted or perforated to achieve any design.

3. Fire safety requirementsWoodfit’s panel meets

the fire regulations for ceiling and wall cladding to

public localities such as meeting rooms, concert

halls, hotels, airports terminals and other similar

public areas.Woodfit’s panels can be provided in

class 1 which is European class C and Class O

which is European Class B-S3. Panels which are

perforated or slotted are complimented with

mineral wool backing to eliminate the possibility

of ignition behind the panel, this also provides

added insulation within the building that can

attribute to reductions in heating costs.


USE, NEED ANDWHY

1. Fire safety and noise reduction is one of the many

reasons to use our product.Woodfit’s acoustic wall

and ceiling products are based on purpose made

sound absorbing / diffusing timber panels which

are designed to reduce sound reflection and

reverberation times.They control reverberation

time in rooms and allow for sound absorption in

circulation spaces.

2.Acoustic application is the forefront to

Architectural design.Acoustics is a big feature in all

new and existing buildings.Acoustic consultants are

employed on all large / small scale construction

projects around the world.Woodfit’s acoustic

products can be installed into new or existing

buildings without requiring any major building works.

These products can be made available to the global

market as an “off the shelf ” product at competitive

prices or alternatively be custom made for Architects

and designers as a complete package from design,

supply, installation, testing and final sign off.

Woodfit’s acoustic products can be installed into new orexisting buildings without requiring any major building works

DESIGN & GOOD ACOUSTICS

Whether your project is an auditorium, hotel,

university, office or music studio, architects and

designers must consider every aspect of the

acoustic environment they create. Good acoustics

create comfortable spaces.

Certain sounds need to be directionally steered

while others are reduced or eliminated. It is

therefore recommended to consult with an

acoustician in order to achieve the required results.

Woodfit can help in this process to create an

aesthetically satisfying and acoustically adjusted

environment.

Sound absorption is attained by using perforated/

slotted panels or fabrics in combination with

mineral wool and air space.

Our various acoustic patterns are tested and

documented to achieve known sound absorption

co-efficients for both walls and ceilings.

NATURALVENEERS & SOLIDS

Every wood species has its own colour and grain.

The skilful use of the trees innate character creates

veneers that are entirely unique in structure and

colour tone.

As wood matures, colour tones vary, as is the case

with veneers. Differences in colour and character are

inherent to wood´s attraction. However, certain

interiors aspire to create a stable and uniform

impression which some natural veneers cannot

provide over wide areas most veneers can be

book matched.

NATURALVENEERS

Natural is our most popular wood veneer selection.

These veneers possess all the beauty and character

nature provides.The veneer’s colour tone matures with

time and thus no two veneers are exactly alike.

Natural and unique.


This traditional cut creates a "cathedral"Flat Cut grain which is often compared to the look

of solid lumber

Quartersawn Sliced to yield a very straight grain; someveneer species such as oak show

Quilted A "high-end" figure with rolling iridescencein distinguished clusters

Pommele Resembles rain drops cascading down awindow; has a very eye catching effect

Mottled Angular rays of shimmer with sharp edges;highly iridescent, creates a bold statement

Birds Eye Dots of dense wood cells typically foundin maple but can occur in others

Spalted/ Dark lines often caused by fungus orAmbrosia insects; very rare in veneer form

Curly Cross-grain ripples of shimmer wherecell orientation is uneven

Quilted A "high-end" figure with rolling iridescencein distinguished clusters

Burl The most sought after figure; burls havecircles of random cell growth


ENGINEEREDVENEERSManmade eco-friendly veneers

These products are engineered to precise design

specifications which are tested to meet national or

international standards.

Engineered wood products may be preferred over

solid wood in some applications due to certain

comparative advantages:

• Man-made, it can be designed to meet application

specific performance requirements.

• Large panels of engineered wood may be

manufactured from fibres from small diameter trees.

• Engineered wood products are often stronger and

less prone to humidity-induced warping than

equivalent solid woods, although most particle and

fiber-based boards readily soak up water unless

they are treated with sealant or paint

EngineeredVeneers have a variety of strengths

and are customised to cater for vast number

of applications

Black Crackle Blue Sparkle Beige Marble Effect

Red & Black Splatter Purple & Gold SplatterCream & Black Cobweb

RAL COLOURS, LACQUERS,HIGH GLOSS & FRENCH POLISH

A clear lacquered finish is by far the most common

maintenance-free and durable finish for most wooden

and painted surfaces. As an alternative to this type of

surface treatment we can provide a range of other

finishes. Although the results of these special surface

treatments can be both exciting and appealing, colour

consistency is imperative for successful results.

Due to the nature of certain woods/veneers it can

be very difficult to achieve the desired result and we

therefore advise customers to confer with us on the

suitability of finishes.
