Frequently asked questions
How many hexagons come in a single set?
Each Connect Hive set contains 18 hexagons covering 2.6 m2 (21.7 SF).
Does the air gap affect acoustic performance?
Yes. Without an air gap the NRC is up to 0.90; with a 610 mm (24 in) air gap behind the baffles it rises to up to 0.95.
Can the material be cleaned if marked?
Vacuum first to remove dust. For marks, dab with a damp cloth and a mild detergent solution, then rinse with clean water and pat dry. For difficult stains a 10% household bleach solution can be used; always test in an inconspicuous area first.
