Description

The Removable Acoustic – Half (product code AX.513) is a smart, low-commitment way to layer acoustic performance and colour into an A.base whiteboard configuration. Rather than choosing between a whiteboard surface and an acoustic panel, this accessory lets you have both, switching between them as your needs change.

Attachment is magnetic via a unique mounting system, meaning the panel clips securely onto any A.base whiteboard skin and comes off just as easily when you need the full writing surface back. There are no tools involved and no permanent commitment to a fixed layout, which keeps it fully in step with the rest of the A.WORKS philosophy.

In addition to absorbing sound, the panel works as a pinboard for notes, cards, and documents, making it a genuinely useful surface in its own right. Custom acoustic printing and grooving are available on request for teams wanting to personalise their space further.

The acoustic PET material is 60% recycled content and 100% recyclable at end of life through A.WORKS in partnership with Autex NZ, so there is a responsible end-of-life pathway built in from the start. Note that pinholes may remain visible after use.

Available in six colours: Empire, Flatiron, Murella, Gherkin, Cavalier, and Beehive.

Materials Selection

• FSC or PEFC wood products, locally sourced where possible.
• Recycled and local metals where possible.
• Re-surface rather than recycle.
• Specify recycled or readily recyclable plastic throughout our designs.
• Uses materials that are tested and certified low or zero VOC. This includes E0 MDF and Red List Free Certified acoustic panels.
• Powder coating instead of wet spraying for our metals, and high build natural oil for our timber finishes.

Design for durability

• Highly durable materials are used throughout the product range for the longest possible life.
• Longer service life and a higher value at the end of life reduce likelihood of ending up as landfill
• Higher carbon materials such as Steel and Aluminum, may not be the lowest carbon option initially but A.WORKS believe this is offset by longer service life and recyclability. They are locally sourced where possible to reduce the carbon impact of the product.

Design for re-use
A.WORKS was started with a focus on re-usability. They take this approach to every level of their product range; from the re-usable Agile Wall system to their re-usable magnetic post-it notes and re-fillable whiteboard markers.

Design for recyclability
A.WORKS considered what will happen at the end of their products life when they created them. This means minimising the chance they end up in landfills through, re-sale, refurbishment, and partnerships with dedicated recyclers in NZ and Australia (Sims) so that components are sorted and recycled with as little waste as possible.
