Introduction
Bradford UltraphonTM is a high quality, non-reflective
black woven glass fibre decorative facing material ideally
suited to aesthetic applications where the acoustic
absorption properties of the bulk insulation must be
maintained.
High temperature duct wrap – the glass fibre
construction of Ultraphon is suitable for high
temperature environments
Decorative acoustic panels – the black, nonreflective decorative finish of Ultraphon is ideal for
visible acoustic panels and is a durable finish as well
•

Product Construction
Bradford Ultraphon is produced from high quality glass
fabric yarns that are evenly spread across the warp and
weft to produce a consistent and even woven fabric.
Applications
Bradford Ultraphon is typically utilised in applications
where the acoustic insulation is visible and requires
a decorative, non-reflective facing black facing to
reduce the visual prominence of the insulation. When
combined with the acoustic insulating properties of
Glasswool insulation material, Ultraphon is able to
maintain the broadband sound absorptive properties
of the bulk insulation with good surface durability and
mild puncture resistance.
Typical applications for Ultraphon include the
following:
•
Note: Ultraphon is not suitable as a vapour seal.
Benefits
•
•
•
Decorative black finish – reduces the prominence
of the insulation material
Open weave maintains the sound absorption
properties of the bulk insulation
Strong, durable facing able to withstand high
temperatures
Bulk Insulation Base Materials
Bradford Ultraphon is typically laminated with Bradford
Supertel or Ultratel (sanded for decorative applications)
Glasswool bulk insulation, but can be combined with
any combination of Glasswool density and thickness to
suit the required application.
HVAC duct lining – the decorative black finish is
ideal for reducing the prominence of the duct lining
insulation where it may be partially exposed and is
easily cleaned
