Troldtekt Plus helps you achieve the
same excellent sound absorption as
with a classic Troldtekt acoustic panel
installed on top of mineral wool. How-
ever, you will save both tting height
and time at the building site. Simply put,
Troldtekt Plus consists of Troldtekt
acoustic panels covered with a layer of
mineral wool on the back. Acoustic panel
and mineral wool are thereby installed
together, avoiding contact with loose
mineral wool. Read more about Troldtekt
Plus on the following pages and take in-
spiration from the two case studies.
Enjoy!

Troldtekt Plus is a double-layer panel made from one
25 mm or 35 mm layer of Troldtekt acoustic panel +
one 18 mm (or 40 mm) layer of mineral wool. The back
of the mineral wool panel is covered with non-woven
material, and the two panels are glued together with
a non-toxic PVA glue.

Added sound absorption
For acoustic ceilings in general, the installation itself,
or the construction, is an important factor in achieving
the best possible sound absorption. The best effect,
i.e. the widest possible effective area, is typically
achieved by installing the acoustic ceiling 200-300 mm
from the xed ceiling. To achieve optimum sound ab-
sorption it is customary to install the Troldtekt acoustic
panels on top of a layer of mineral wool.
The double-layer Troldtekt Plus panel incorporates
the mineral wool and, when installed as a suspended

ceiling, Troldtekt Plus provides optimum absorption
through almost the entire spectrum see gure 4.
However, even as a directly installed ceiling, Troldtekt
Plus absorbs close to 100 per cent in the normal
speech spectrum (>500 Hz) - and this with tting
heights of only 43 or 65 mm see gures 2 and 3.
Not only do you reduce the tting height but 43 mm
Troldtekt Plus can also be installed on normal 22 95
mm wooden battens, which can offer huge building
project savings.

With the double-layer Troldtekt Plus panel, the acoustic ceiling and mineral
wool are tted in one action! This saves time at the building site and means
that workmen avoid contact with loose mineral wool.
Simple installation
Ideal for retrotting
The best results are achieved by incorporating acous-
tics in a construction project already in the project
planning phase, as this provides multiple opportunities
for elegant acoustics solutions using Troldtekt acoustic
panels. However, if the damage is done and you have
a room in which hard oors, large glass sections and
smooth ceilings cause poor acoustics, the optimum
solution is to replace the existing ceiling with a Troldtekt
acoustic ceiling. Unfortunately, this requires an exten-
sive renovation process, involving construction mess
and lots of dust, which may seem to be insurmountable
if the room is already in use. In this case, Troldtekt Plus
is the ideal solution as the existing ceiling need not
be taken down. Just screw new wooden battens onto
the existing ceiling to ensure easy installation of Trold-
tekt Plus on the
wooden battens.
Some oor covering
and a rolling scaf-
folding is all that is
required and the
renovation process
can be over in just a
few days.
Removable ceilings
Troldtekt Plus is the best solution for removable ceilings
where workmen may subsequently require access to
installations above the ceiling. In prole systems such
as Troldtekt T35 for concealed or exposed installation,
you just tilt up the acoustic panel to inspect and main-
tain installations above the ceiling. The back of the
mineral wool is covered with non-woven material and
glued to the back of the Troldtekt panels, so workmen
completely avoid contact with mineral wool bres.
Acoustic clouds
If a Troldtekt acoustic ceiling cannot be installed
across the surface ceiling, oating acoustic clouds
with Troldtekt Plus is an excellent solution. Just install
Troldtekt Plus on the Troldtekt C60 prole system
and terminate the clouds in Troldtekt aluminium pro-
les. This is an easy and elegant acoustics solution
for limited areas.
As standard, Troldtekt Plus is
43 mm thick (25 + 18 mm), so
the panels can be installed on
regular 22 95 mm wooden
battens. This can generate
huge savings for a renovation
project!
If you need added sound ab-
sorption, Troldtekt Plus is also
available in 65 mm thickness
(25 + 40 mm) for installation
on 45 95 mm wooden bat-
tens.
< Removal of the existing ceiling
is not required! New wooden bat-
tens on the existing ceiling pro-
vides a sufcient base for Trold-
tekt Plus.
<< Some oor covering and a rolling
scaffolding is all that is required

6 > TROLDTEKT PLUS
One of the major construction challenges today is to make good acoustics,
architecture and aesthetics come together in synergy. This is why Troldtekt acoustic
panels are increasingly the preferred choice for project planners. Combined with
todays strict requirements for sound absorption and easy-to-install, exible solutions,
Troldtekt Plus is being used ever more frequently. In our inspirational section at
www.troldtekt.com/inspiration, you can nd a number of exciting case studies and
pictures here are a few examples:
The byhj headquarters were
a raw and naked industrial
warehouse when ProDesign
moved in. The ofce complex,
owned by the property com-
pany Olav de Linde, had left it up to the individual
tenants to decorate their rooms, including partitions,
ceilings and lighting. However, the interior decoration
had to be removed upon vacation of the premises,
leaving the buildings appearance unchanged. With
Troldtekt Plus installed as clouds, the raw impression
of the large ofce spaces has been retained but also
rened into an inspiring work environment.
Inspiring industry
ProDesign got help from architectural rm
Merete Nielsen for the interior design.
Architect MAA Merete Nielsen says:
My starting point is always the existing
rooms and for this project I found the rustic in-
dustrial environment very inspiring. ProDesign
wanted large ofce landscapes and creating a
functional ofce environment in the resonant
concrete halls was no easy task.
Acoustic clouds
Merete Nielsen emphasises that a good
acoustic environment is essential:
That is why I chose Troldtekt not only
does it support the existing mood but it
seems almost rened compared to the exist-
ing grey cast concrete. The cement-bonded
ProDesign
Rough and rened
wood wool is installed as oating clouds that help
dene the areas. The limited cloud surfaces still leaves
a clear impression of the concrete behind them and
removing the panels at a later stage is extremely easy.
Creative Director Allan Rasmussen of ProDesign is
also excited about the acoustic properties:
These panels have an incredible effect in a building
like this, with its hard concrete faces and glass walls.
We have one showroom without clouds and
the difference is striking. The acoustics simply change
as you cross from one room to the other. Its very
convincing.
The internationally renowned eyewear manufacturer ProDesign has introduced
functional large ofce landscapes into a former industrial building. Troldtekt clouds
ensure that the acoustic environment as with all other interior decoration is easy
to remove upon vacation of the premises.

The project is the result of a
limited competition won by
Danish architects CEBRA, well-
known for their work on edu-
cational institutions and many
other different projects. For
them, it was a great architec-
tural challenge which has resulted in an elegant and
simple solution. The two schools were positioned at
right-angles and originally functioned independently
of each other. In order to link the two, the architects
opted for a greater overlap between them. This
crossover effect has provided the united building
with a new architectural identity and horizontality.
The common centre houses a canteen for both
schools which also doubles as a venue for large
gatherings in the shared auditorium and an upper
level library. A particular feature is the extensive
scale raked tier seating which encourages social
interaction, study and leisure.
KKG
Graphically and culturally interwoven
This interesting project involved connecting a high school with a technical
college, merging two buildings into one where students from both could
enjoy shared facilities.
One of the reasons why the new rooms work equally
well for teaching, study or musical performances is
the large scale use of Troldtekt acoustic panels in the
design. CEBRA has frequently specied the panels in
buildings where noise levels need to be controlled,
such as in sports halls, kindergartens and shops.
Here, the tiles are coloured in several shades of
grey and run as parallel bands across the ceilings and
complement the dark and light oors. This delicate
interplay between the hard, reective oor surfaces
and sound absorbing, nely textured ceilings provides
pleasing aesthetics and a great sense or orientation
within the rooms.
Project architect Mikkel Frost says:
From concept to reality, it is almost something of a re-
lief to nd out if your assumptions about how the
building will be used are correct - to hear speeches and
enjoy the music or the simple satisfaction of observing
students socialising, studying or just happily hanging
out on the long staircase!
