clothes for the upcycled discarded wood panels and acoustic panels or framed acoustic panels and acoustic batts

Origin

Kiø framed acoustic panels are made out of repurposed textile felt and upcycled discarded wood from a major Danish manufacturer. 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 fibers. The fibers are mixed with binders and a fire retardant. Finally, the materials are felted together into non-woven acoustic batts.

EPD

wood before being made into acoustic wall panelling or framed acoustic panels all from waste wood

Collection:

We take our Douglas Fir wood from a Danish wood manufacturer. The wood was discarded because of knots and cracks

waste-based wood used as building materials e.g. acoustic panels or just full acoustic wall panelling

Milling:

The wood is then processed at Overgaard Wood, in Fredericia. Here the wood is first rough cut for production

Profiling:

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

wood being made into acoustic wall panelling

Manufacturing:

The Douglas fir is turned into one of our final products. For example our Kiø Douglas panels

Material Characteristics

We believe wood should be wood, that means we embrace its features.

Knots:

All knots are allowed unless they affect functionality

Nærø.

The textile batt of Kiø has a varied and unique appearance

Colour:

Douglas will have slight variations of colour in the grain

Checks and cracks:

We generally cut around larger cracks, but smaller check may occur in the wood

Finish

Our waterborne wax comes in 3 colours, you can select between them in the left hand menu. The wax is sprayed on and needs no maintenance. It is possible to repaint the wax, should the colour need a touch up, after many years.

Handling

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.
