THE PERFECTED ACOUSTICAL ENVIRONMENT
BASWAphon delivers the premium acoustical
experience by creating environments where sound is
highly intelligible. Installed in prestigious architectural,
museum and boardroom spaces, BASWAphon, the
original seamless surface, compliments the architect’s
vision.
The BASWA acoustic Team continuously works to
improve the BASWAphon Seamless Acoustical Finish
System in order to offer a premium, cost effective
product. New Pre-Sanded Rigid Supporting Panels and
new “Trowel Friendly” Top Coat ensure the smoothest, highest quality surface available in the industry. |

HOW BASWAphon WORKS
High frequency sound absorption is accomplished by
allowing sound wave energy to pass through the micro pores
in the finished surface, thereafter, dissipating it into heat
energy in the mineral wool.
Low frequency sound absorption is accomplished when
sound wave energy hits the mass of mineral particles on
the finished surface, causing the finished “skin” to vibrate
in a diaphragmatic action against the mineral wool backing,
creating a “spring” action. Again, this transforms and dissipates sound energy into heat energy.
BASWAphon SYSTEMS AND NRC RATINGS
The BASWAphon Seamless Acoustical Finish System is
available in 3 system thicknesses.
| NRC Ratings: |
30mm – 0.75 - .80
40mm – 0.85
70mm – 0.95 - 1.05 |
NRC Ratings vary with the Finish. Coefficient testing is calculated following ASTM
C423 Sound Absorption Test guidelines for E and A Mounting. |
BASWAphon STC RATINGS
BASWAphon provides an additional 5 to 7 points to a STC
Rating. Test Data is available upon request. |

INSTALLING THE BASWAphon SYSTEM
1. Pre-Sanded Rigid Supporting Panels with beveled
edges are cut to size on site with a utility knife and
adhered with a plaster based adhesive to a stable
substrate, such as taped drywall.
2. BASWAphon Pre-Fill is troweled into the “V” groove
seams formed by the beveled edges of the panels.
3. Sand the Pre-Filled seams.
4. BASWAphon Base Coat is spray applied, gauged,
smoothed with a trowel and allowed to dry.
5. Sand the Base Coat.
6. Classic Top Coat, Frosted or Resilient Finish coats are spray applied, gauged, smoothed with a trowel an
allowed to dry. |
|
 |
CLASS A FIRE RATED
BASWAphon is a Class A fire rated interior finish meeting
all the requirements of UL E-84.
FROM MODERN MUSEUMS TO
HISTORICAL RESTORATIONS
Ideal for both new construction and restoration
projects. Since BASWAphon can be applied to
existing historical substrates without damaging
them, it has the ability to enhance the soundscape while preserving the integrity
of the historical architectural elements. |
