Microperforated Acoustic Veneer Hexagonal

A seamless wood texture with microperforated acoustic veneer arranged in a hexagonal pattern. The image represents a physical area of 3240 x 2102 mm (127.6 x 82.8 inches) in total, with each individual board measuring approximately 400 x 100 mm. The joints are filled with earth and are 5 mm (0.2 inches) in width.

The perforated timber acoustic crown cut veneer panel helps absorb sound, prevent unwanted acoustic reflections and limit reverberations, with the ability to be installed as both wall and ceiling panelling, or as individual sheets or planks to be installed on a variety of surfaces including doors. Acting as a Helmholtz Absorber, an air filled cavity behind the perforated surface acts as a resonator, while a layer of dense fabric or other such porous absorbent behind this absorbs; ‘trapping’ and dampening sound waves to reduce acoustic transmission. Tight-nit perforations such as this are typically better for domestic or lower-volume areas, as the ability to absorb is reduces the smaller the perforations.

This texture uses hexagonal tiling. This hexagonal pattern contains regular hexagon shapes with each row offset in order to interlink with one another. It is one of the three regular tilings of the Euclidean plane and is a significant structure in nature.

This image is seamless, meaning it can be tiled repeatedly for use in architectural drawings and 3D models. It can be used as a SketchUp texture, Revit material or imported into Photoshop for use in 2D illustrations.
