Sound Absorbing Plaster?

Have any of you seen this interesting new construction technology?

BASWpahon is a new wall finishing system that provides “Seamless Acoustical Finishes”. This is an alternative to acoustical plaster which is typically specified and installed to control reverberant spaces.


How does BASWAphon work?

BASWAphon “filters out” echoes and reflected sound, making conversation clearer even in harsh situations.

The BASWAphon Seamless Sound Absorbing Plaster System is used to reduce reverberation time making voice, music and other sound much more intelligible. Its design is based on a fine porous surface that appears to be solid, applied onto a mineral wool panel.

High frequency sound energy passes through the pores, into the mineral wool, and is converted into heat energy. Low frequency sound energy vibrates the porous surface diaphragmatically, transforming the sound energy into heat energy.
