Decoustics - Claro
DESCRIPTION
Claro is a coated finish that is specifically formulated to provide acoustical transparency and exhibits a very white flat painted gypsum board/plaster appearance. The finish is applied to both the panel face and edges. Specified as CSW-100 for a standard white. Claro can also be custom colored to match Pantone and other type paint chips.

DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS
Maximum Panel Size: 48" x 72" (1220 mm x 1830 mm) is largest size recommended by Decoustics. Panels larger than this are susceptible to coating damage during handling and installation. Consult Decoustics for larger size availability for specific applications.

MAINTENANCE
Can be cleaned using water or recommended cleaners. Refer to "Claro Cleaning & Maintenance Instructions" for specific data.
