Poly Max - Ceiling and Wall Panels
Poly Max™ Polyester Acoustic Wall & Ceiling Panels
High-Performance Acoustics with Modern Design & Material Integrity
Poly Max™ acoustic panels provide an elegant and sustainable solution for controlling echo and reverberation across a wide range of interior environments. Engineered for both performance and aesthetics, these panels are ideal for wall and ceiling applications in commercial, educational, residential, and aquatic spaces.
Sustainable Materials for Demanding Environments
Manufactured from 100% polyester fiber—a blend of 60% post-consumer recycled PET and 40% virgin PET—Poly Max panels are:
- Non-toxic, non-allergenic, and formaldehyde-free
- Resistant to mold, mildew, and fungi
- Certified for low VOC emissions (CDPH V1.2 compliant)
- Contributing toward LEED v4.1 EQ Credit: Low-Emitting Materials
The core PET composition offers significant advantages over traditional acoustic materials:
- Hydrophobic and non-hygroscopic, ensuring an extremely low moisture absorption rate
- Maintains dimensional stability in high-humidity environments (e.g., natatoriums)
- Will not swell, sag, or degrade under prolonged moisture exposure
Proven Durability in Aquatic and Humid Environments
Poly Max is specifically suited for high-humidity, chemically exposed environments like indoor pools and aquatic centers:
- Microbial Resistance: PET is a non-organic, moisture-repellent substrate that resists mold and mildew growth. Verified through ASTM C1338 fungal resistance testing, Poly Max achieved the highest possible rating—zero fungal growth.
- Chemical Resistance: PET is chemically stable and highly resistant to airborne chloramines and cleaning agents. Unlike metal or organic-based products, it will not corrode, oxidize, or break down, ensuring long-term performance and visual appeal.
Design Versatility
Poly Max panels balance affordability and architectural appeal with customization options that support diverse design intents:
- Available in a wide range of colors, plus custom-printed graphics or photo-quality imagery
- Tackable surface ideal for workspaces and classrooms
- Engravable for added visual texture, branding, or artwork integration
