Flamex Facet
Weighted sound absorption coefficient up to αw = 0.80
Lightweight, non-fibrous, and ageing-resistant
Ideal for offices, studios, and auditoriums
Flamex Facet is a faceted melamine foam panel designed to improve room acoustics through a combination of sound absorption and diffusion. Its faceted surface disperses reflections, making it suitable for spaces that require both efficient absorption and enhanced spatial acoustics.
The melamine foam is lightweight, fibre-free, and resistant to ageing. It maintains full performance across a temperature range of –43 °C to +150 °C and is unaffected by moisture, oils, or common cleaning agents. Standard sizes follow the Flamex series format of 1,200 × 600 mm and are available in multiple thicknesses.
Flamex Facet achieves a sound absorption coefficient of up to αw = 0.80, depending on installation density and panel pattern. The open-cell structure also provides thermal insulation with a thermal conductivity of λ ≈ 0.033–0.037 W/(m·K). Fire performance is certified to EN 13501-1, Class C, with smoke development s2 and droplet formation d0. The panel is lightweight (~7 kg/m³) and can be easily cut and installed using water-based adhesives compatible with melamine foam.
Flamex Facet is suitable for offices, studios, home cinemas, classrooms, auditoria, rehearsal rooms, and industrial environments where reverberation needs to be reduced and acoustic clarity improved. The faceted design makes it suitable for both aesthetic acoustic design and functional sound absorption. Panels are mounted on walls or ceilings after a 24-hour acclimatisation period for optimal performance.

Answers to common questions
Merford can perform acoustic analyses or simulations to predict noise levels and reverberation times based on material selection, room dimensions, and finishes, ensuring the right solution is designed.
Our acoustic materials generally require minimal maintenance. Dusting and cleaning is usually sufficient to maintain long‑term performance.
- Vibration isolation reduces mechanical vibrations from machines or equipment, preventing transmission to the building structure or floor.
- Sound insulation prevents sound from passing from one space to another, e.g., between rooms or to the exterior.
- Sound absorption reduces echo and reverberation within a space by damping sound waves, improving comfort and speech intelligibility.
Merford materials can provide one or more of these effects depending on the product type, such as absorption panels for rooms or isolation around ventilation units.
