Kiø framed acoustic panels are made out of repurposed textile felt and upcycled discarded wood from a major Danish contractor. The textile felt used for Kiø is produced from worn-out workwear that can no longer be used for clothing or in other secondary clothing production. We have developed a method of sorting, where we acquire pure, clean fractions, which ensures the high quality of the end product. After sorting, the fabric is shredded; going from a woven material to becoming small, short fibres. The fibres are mixed with binders and a fire retardant. Finally, the materials are felted together into non-woven acoustic batts.

*Per m2

1 Collection

We collect our red heart beech from a major Danish contractor’s building sites. The dunnages are used to transport steel

2 Milling and drying

The wood is then processed at Overgaard Wood, in Fredericia. Here the wood is cut into raw planks and dried completely

3 Profiling and treatment

We seek to minimise the number of different profiles so that our manufacturing is agile. Furthermore, we always cut profiles that are optimised to the material

4 Manufacturing

The red heart beech is turned into one of our final products. For example our Kiø Beech panel

Workers Blue
Wild Ocean
Grey Static
Speckled Grey 
Carlsberg Green 
Sprinkle Blue 
Carlsberg Grey 
Grey Marbled 
Plain Grey 

We use our Nærø batts in the Kiø panels, the batts are available in varying shades of grey, blue and white, which are determined by the clothes it is produced from. We can never ensure an exact repetition of a specific nuance, from batch to batch, since our input material will always vary slightly. However, this just means that your batch is unique to your project!

Fungal patterns

Black lines from fungi. All fungi is neutralised in the drying process.

Red heart

Old beech trees develop an expressive reddish core

Colour

The beech wood will vary from dark to very light

Weathering

The harsh conditions the wood has gone through is partly the reason for these features

Note: The panel is simply sanded and finished with a nude lacquer. The lacquer is waterborne and is durable and safe.

Acoustic performance

The acoustic performance is categorized in sound absorption classes from A-E, where class A has the highest sound absorption.

FORCE Technology tested the 50 mm thick Nærø batts directly mounted.

What is Kiø made of and how do you source it? How much of the material is waste based?
Kiø is made from either discarded Douglas fir from a leading Danish wood manufacturer or red heart beech from discarded wooden dunnages. The Douglas fir originates in Germany and the red heart beech is treated in a French sawmill and is IPPC-certified packaging wood. The back panel is made from offcut plywood and the textile batt is at least 60% waste based. The acoustic Nærø batt that comes with it is made of worn-out textiles from a major workwear and textile maintenance company.

Does Kiø contain any hazardous substances?

No, the materials from Kiø enter our manufacturing line clean and we only treat the wood with a waterborne wax or waterborne lacquer. The textile is bound by a PET binder, which does not evaporate.
Where and how is Kiø manufactured?
The material is sawn, planed, and cut to length at our partner Overgaard Wood in Fredericia. The panel is then joined together with soft nails and a regular one-component waterborne PVAc wood glue.
Is the material recyclable?
Yes, the wood can be sorted as ‘Wood’ and the textile batt as Textile’ at a recycling station. We also offer take-back services for reuse or remanufacturing into as-new products.
Can I order a different size or colour of Kiø than your standard variants?
For larger projects, such as a whole office building or an entire floor, we can have new colours developed. For smaller projects, we don’t offer treatments outside of our standard assortment. We do not offer Kiø in other sizes.
How can I adjust or alter Kiø post-purchase?
We do not encourage altering the panel itself. The whole panel can be adjusted vertically by about 1 cm with the fittings provided, making mounting easier. Furthermore, the panel is adjustable horizontally by sliding the panel across the fittings. The wood can be treated like any other wooden product. It can be repainted, stripped, sawn, planed, etc.
How should I handle the Kiø panel to not damage it?
To be certain that the surface treatment is not damaged unnecessarily, do not take the panel out of its original packaging prior to the moment you need to install it. If you do need to check the quality of the panels or have concerns over the finish, be sure to handle it with care; if you need to re-package the material. The wax finish is very sturdy, but ultimately not completely resistant to scratching.
