A warm welcome with decorative design

Mandrup Arkitekt | Ingeniør in Viborg welcome you with Troldtekt acoustic panels based on the CO2-reduced FUTURECEM cement type.

The new premises that Mandrup’s employees moved into had remarkably poor acoustics in the otherwise beautiful and bright rooms. The company was perfectly familiar with Troldtekt, and decided to use Troldtekt acoustic panels to solve the problem. In a passage,

Troldtekt line design was installed with a painted grey surface. A product that is also very popular in modern homes. In the entrance and meeting room, framed sections with Troldtekt curves in natural grey have been used. On the one hand, a recognisable Troldtekt product

– yet at the same time completely new, as the panel is produced with FUTURECEM, which has a 30 per cent lower CO2 footprint than traditional cement.

Maximum benefit

In the high-ceilinged meeting room, the solution is particularly elegant with two large, framed surfaces with Troldtekt curves (3.0 x 4.8 m and 3.6 x 3.6 m). The solution has improved the acoustics as desired. The new Troldtekt curves panels are based on FUTURECEM, a composite consisting of calcined clay and limestone filler. The calcined clay gives the raw panels a brownish tinge, which directly testifies to a more environmentally friendly product. In the entrance and in the meeting room at Mandrup, the warmer hue of the panels creates a more inviting feel. The precisely milled curves are also emphasised by the shimmering look of the panels.

The new Troldtekt panel is made of wood and FUTURECEM, and renewable energy is used in the actual production of the panels in Troldhede.

Troldtekt acoustic panels based on FUTURECEM have a carbon footprint over the entire product life cycle that is 26 per cent lower than that of Troldtekt based on grey cement.

It nevertheless shares the same benefits as classic Troldtekt panel in terms of acoustics, strength and fireproofing properties.

Acoustic panels with reduced carbon footprint

Troldtekt has developed acoustic panels in which the cement has been replaced with the new, CO2-reduced cement type FUTURECEM TM . FUTURECEM is a patented cement product which exploits the synergies between calcined clay and limestone filler. This means that much of the fired clinker in the cement can be replaced, resulting in a 30 per cent smaller carbon footprint.

Design solution: Troldtekt curves (FUTURECEM)

Troldtekt based on FUTURECEM has carbon footprints that are 26 and 38 per cent lower, respectively, than those of Troldtekt based on grey and white cement, measured throughout the entire life cycle of the acoustic panels. Almost all the energy consumed at Troldtekt’s own factory comes from renewable sources (97.8 per cent in 2021).

Troldtekt based on FUTURECEM is – like the other Troldtekt cement-bonded wood wool panels – Cradle to Cradle-certified at Gold level. Both the classic Troldtekt acoustic panels and the series of Troldtekt design solutions are available based on FUTURECEM.
