At Cardinal Acoustics, our efforts to reduce noise in your space align with our commitment to reduce our footprint in the world. Using renewable wood resources and naturally occurring, formaldehyde-free materials that are safe for landfills, we create wood fiber acoustic panels in a safe, non-toxic environment.
Our wood fiber panels are made from fast-growing poplar trees. Since poplars are an invasive species, it is considered good practice to harvest them after they reach maturity, which is typically 20-25 years.
The other ingredients in our panels are magnesium oxide mixed with magnesium sulfate to form inorganic cement, silicon dioxide, which, like magnesium is a naturally occurring compound, and water.
We manufacture our wood fiber panels as lifetime products, which means less impact on the environment in the life cycle of the building. Of course, all our acoustic panels come with a lifetime warranty, and replacing them is commonly unnecessary.
When it’s time, you can safely discard your Cardinal panels in the landfill or use them as composting material. Not only are our panels non-hazardous, they don’t require special packaging that requires special disposal either.
