FELTWORKS Blades - VARAFFIX Reinforced Rectangular

Reinforced rectangular blades add structural integrity with embedded threaded connectors for installation versatility and design flexibility.

Key Features & Performance

  • Blades are reinforced at the top for enhanced structural integrity, and come in 12 new standard neutral colors
  • Standard 10' long blade option allows for better linear runs, minimizing seams in large installations
  • Soft visual, more quieting acoustics
  • Sound absorption up to 0.85 NRC dependent on blade depth and spacing
  • Pair with CALLA to get total noise control and design flexibility with TOTAL ACOUSTICS ceiling panels: NRC + CAC = Total Acoustics
  • Embedded threaded connectors for installation versatility including cable-to-deck independent suspension, threaded rod, and direct to 15/16" grid
  • CLEANASSURE family of products – includes disinfectable panels, suspension systems, and trim
  • Great retrofit solution
  • Made from 60% pre-consumer recycled PET fibers
  • 3/8" thick blades provide a sleek linear visual
  • ASTM E84 Class A Fire Performance
  • Part of the SUSTAIN portfolio, and meet the most stringent industry sustainability compliance standards today
  • Mix standard lengths and depths for dynamic visuals
  • Independent suspension now allows for sloped installations

Acoustics
Sound Absorption (NRC)

A measure for rating the overall sound absorption of a material when used in an enclosed architectural space where sound is reflected at many angles of incidence. A ceiling system with an NRC < 0.50 is low performance, an NRC > 0.70 is high performance.

Light Reflectance

A high light reflective ceiling – LR 0.83 or greater, per ASTM E1477-98 as referred to in ASTM E1264-98 – makes lighting systems, especially indirect lighting, more effective while further reducing energy costs and consumption. LR values apply to White panels only.

Anti-Microbial
Mold/Mildew Resistance

Ceiling panels with BIOBLOCK performance resist the growth of mold and mildew on the panel surface.
Ceiling panels with BIOBLOCK Plus performance resist the growth of odor and stain-producing bacteria as well as mold and mildew on the ceiling panel surface.

Impact Resistance

Surface impact based on the Striking Ball Impact Test, modified ASTM D1037 procedure.

Scratch Resistance

Excellent resistance to surface scratching, scuffing or chipping as per Hess Rake Test.

Disinfectability
Spray

May be sprayed following CDC recommendations using EPA disinfectant​ cleaners per Armstrong Cleaning & Disinfecting Guidelines​
