FN Acustico ‒ Functional Design for Every Space!

You have probably heard of the saying "Design follows function", sometimes ironically altered to "Function follows design". Where the FN Acustico acoustic panels from FN Neuhofer are concerned, design and function go hand in hand. Here, they are matched precisely, providing a doubly effective design element for every space. And it gets even better: this elegant, functional product is also sustainable.

The sound-absorbing base plate made from 60 % recycled PET fibres, combined with veneered or foilded MDF slats, is a functional eye-catcher and a real feel-good element in any space.
The restrained design can for example elegantly enhance your cloakroom or hallway, create a relaxed atmosphere in the bedroom, impress as a unique style element in the living room or pleasantly reduce noise when a room is used as a home office. FN Acustico is part of a trend that is here to stay. Timeless and stylish.

Functionality & Sustainability
The lightweight, soft PET-fibre base plate is made from 60 % recycled PET bottles, and can reduce sound by up to 25 % as well as sound reverberation. With an approx. 10 cm substructure, sound insulation increases to as high as 60 % and is thus sound absorption class C-compliant.
This creates comfortable acoustics in any space - large or small - from the hallway to the living room, or in business environments in waiting rooms, open-plan offices, canteens or business premises.
FN Acustico is available in two sizes: 572.5 x 2400 x 19 mm and 572.5 x 1200 x 19 mm, and two different surfaces - foiled or veneered - as well as a variety of décors.
FN Neuhofer also offers its well-known FN Digiprint technology for maximum customisation or adaptation to the floor or furniture.

Design and Décor
With a deliberate accent on strong colours, or as a natural element in real wood veneer or stylishly adapted to the floor décor, extending over the wall to the ceiling or even as a room partition or hanging element, FN Acustico offers a wide range of possibilities.

There are eight different décors to choose from:
- veneered: oak, smoked oak, walnut, ash
- foiled: oak, vintage (white/grey stripes), concrete, Zebrano (black/brown stripes)
An entirely bespoke décor of your choice is also available, because FN digiprint offers unlimited possibilities.

Individual slats for unique design
The new range is enhanced by foiled and veneered individual slats, which offer personalised creativity and complete design freedom on the wall. These individual slats are available in 25 x 10 x 2400 mm and 25 x 10 x 1200 mm sizes and come with an adhesive strip on the back.
They are lightweight and thanks to their adhesive strips, they can be arranged - and bonded - on the wall easily and simply by anyone to suit their personal style.
FN Neuhofer offers an accessory - a practical spacer measuring 15 x 18 x 1200 mm - in order to guarantee dimensionally accurate installation with even spacing between the profiles.

Base skirting for height adjustments
A "base skirting" has been developed and serves as another practical accessory for flexibility in rooms with high ceilings (250 cm and 260 cm) when installing FN Acustico. It can be used as a skirting with a height of either 10 cm or 20 cm. This ensures a visually appealing height adjustment and simplifies the installation of the panels, as these are mounted directly on the previously installed skirting.

Elegant sales promotion at the point of sale: the right solution for every location!
From the display, the effective secondary placement using eye-catching palette presentation to the integration into heavy-duty racks, FN Neuhofer offers the optimal solution for every PoS.

As one of the most important rooms in the home, the kitchen should be not only functional, but also aesthetically appealing. That is exactly why Vauth-Sagel has developed a range of solutions that cater to the current trends in kitchen design, ensuring they fulfil all the requirements of modern kitchens and utility rooms. The new VS SUB® Larder and VS Larder® Flex modules, in combination with the tried-and-tested VS TAL® Larder tall cabinet pull-out, form a modular system for more individuality and customised solutions in both tall and base units. The result? More overview, convenience, flexibility and organisation for stylish kitchen and utility areas.
"We love modular systems that combine the very best individual components for seamless functionality," enthuses CEO Claus Sagel. "This is why we have paid special attention to where the components will be used, whether that's next to the refrigerator, the washing machine or the cooker. Everything has been factored in to perfection."

The VS SUB® Larder is the base cabinet pull-out model and so the lower version of the tried-and-tested VS TAL® Larder. And what's extra practical is that the shelves of the VS SUB® Larder are compatible with those of the VS TAL® Larder.
The bottom level is always a shelf element, and from the second level up, it can be equipped with modules from the VS Larder® Flex modular system and accessed from both sides to fulfil a range of functions. Its sleek dimensions allow it to fit into any kitchen unit, and it is even available in various sizes and colours.

The tall cabinet pull-out creates additional storage space for groceries, kitchen utensils, or even laundry and cleaning supplies in the utility room thanks to its ideal dimensions and features. In fact, this is where the VS Larder®Flex elements really come into their own, offering diverse possibilities for maximizing space utilization, organization, and flexibility in an individual design. Another real highlight is that the shelves in both the VS TAL® Larder and VS SUB® Larder have identical dimensions. This means both can be equipped with the same shelf variations and with baskets and shelves from all design collections: Classic, Saphir, Premea, Essentio and Planero®.

The star of the show for both pull-out systems is the VS Larder® Flex modular system. Continually refined by the Vauth-Sagel product developers, this system comprises various modular elements that can be flexibly combined with each other for design possibilities that can be adjusted and utilised for (almost) every need. What's more, it is even possible to add elements or replace them at a later stage. Notable examples include:
- VS Larder® Flex Clip: This allows the VS Larder Flex inserts to be attached at the desired height without the need for tools.
- VS Larder® Flex Hook: The hook rack offers organised hanging storage for cloths, towels, cooking utensils, or even brushes and shovels.
- VS Larder® Flex Roll: This holder ensures that kitchen rolls are stored invisibly yet always within reach.
- VS ADD® Boxes: The VS Larder® Flex modules can be complemented by the flexible box system.
All components of the modular system can be individually combined to suit the respective area of use. Alternatively, the option is also available to select pre-configured theme sets. With the VS Larder® modular system, the interior of the cabinet is always organised and easily accessible.
