InvisiPerf Metal
Transform spaces with MATERIAL LOGIQ’s revolutionary InvisiPerf Metal—an acoustic innovation that delivers superior sound absorption without sacrificing aesthetic elegance. Unlike traditional perforated metal systems that require visible holes and bulky acoustic backings, this sophisticated material achieves exceptional acoustic performance through microscopic perforations combined with a strategic air gap. The result is a visually smooth, uniform surface available in multiple finishes including vibrant colors and realistic wood grain textures. For architects and designers seeking the perfect balance of form and function, InvisiPerf Metal offers a sustainable solution with unlimited recyclability, contributing to LEED certification while providing the clean, contemporary aesthetic that sophisticated projects demand—proving that sometimes the smallest holes make the biggest sound difference.
Aluminum Ceiling Panels
InvisiPerf Metal are ceiling panels that provide controlled absorption with a refined, architectural finish. Ideal for offices, healthcare, transportation, and public interiors, these panels reduce reverberation while maintaining a precise ceiling plane.
Aluminum Ceiling Tiles
InvisiPerf Metal ceiling tiles combine T-grid efficiency with modern performance. Designed for standard suspension systems, these tiles offer consistent acoustics, easy plenum access, and superior durability compared to traditional fiber tiles.
Aluminum Ceiling Clouds
InvisiPerf Metal ceiling clouds deliver targeted acoustic absorption while maintaining a lightweight, visually minimal presence. Suspended horizontally, clouds reduce early reflections and reverberation above occupied zones. When paired with acoustic backing and an air gap, aluminum clouds provide strong mid-to-high frequency absorption with a clean, contemporary look.
Aluminum Ceiling Baffles
InvisiPerf Metal can also be used as an aluminum baffle to absorb sound on multiple faces, making them effective in open ceilings and high-volume spaces. Their slim profiles and precise edges support linear layouts and modern design languages while reducing reverberation throughout the space.
Aluminum Wall Panels
When used as acoustic wall panels, InvisiPerf Metal is engineered to manage reflected sound while reinforcing a clean, architectural finish. Their rigid metal construction allows for crisp reveals and tight tolerances, supporting linear or geometric layouts that align with contemporary interior design.
Why Material LogIQ InvisiPerf Metal
Integrated Acoustics
By utilizing a proprietary process to create 0.04mm angled micro-performations, InvisiPerf metal itself with airspace acts as a tuned broadband absorber. No need for an acoustic backer.
Durability & Hygeine
Non-porous surfaces resist impact, moisture, and require only light cleaning.
Fire & Code Confidence
Inherently non-combustible systems suitable for commercial and public interiors.
Design Consistency
Clean edges, uniform perforations, and finish consistency across large installations.
Full Technical Support
All acoustic data, any samples, CAD/Revit files, and detail drawings provided.
Frequently Asked Questions
What frequencies do aluminum panels perform best at?
InvisiPerf Metal systems are especially effective at mid-to-high frequencies. Unlike fibrous materials, aluminum panels do not absorb sound on their own. Instead, the perforations allow sound energy to pass through the metal surface and into an acoustic backer, where it is dissipated.
How does perforated aluminum compare acoustically to PET felt or wood?
InvisiPerf Metal typically provide strong mid-to-high frequency absorption when paired with appropriate backing. PET felt and wood-based systems often deliver broader broadband absorption at similar thicknesses. Aluminum is selected when durability, hygiene, cleanability, or fire performance are primary drivers, while PET felt or wood may be preferred where softness, color, or biophilic aesthetics are priorities.
Can InvisiPerf panels be used on ceilings and walls?
Yes. These systems are engineered for ceiling panels, ceiling tiles, ceiling clouds, ceiling baffles, and wall panels. Mounting methods and backer configurations vary by application, but the same perforated material can be used consistently throughout a space.
Do you offer drop-in acoustic ceiling tiles in perforated aluminum?
Yes. InvisiPerf Metal aluminum ceiling tiles are available in standard 24×24 and 24×48 formats for 15/16″ T-grid systems, allowing fast installation and easy plenum access while maintaining consistent acoustic performance.
What finishes are available?
InvisiPerf Metal aluminum panels are available in a range of powder-coated, anodized, and specialty finishes, including standard neutrals and custom color matches. Finishes are durable, color-stable, and suitable for frequent cleaning.
Can perforated aluminum panels be repainted?
InvisiPerf Metal panels are factory-finished for performance and durability. Field repainting is not recommended, as it can affect perforation openness and acoustic performance. If a specific color is required, it should be specified before fabrication.
How thick are InvisiPerf aluminum panels?
Panel thickness varies by system and application but is typically thinner than wood or wood wool systems. Acoustic performance is driven more by the backer and air space than by metal thickness alone.
What acoustic performance can I expect (NRC) from InvisiPerf?
Performance depends on perforation pattern, open area percentage, backer material, mounting method, and air gap. Our InvisiPerf Metal systems commonly deliver effective mid-to-high frequency absorption, with improved broadband performance when paired with thicker acoustic backers. Third-party lab data is available for specific assemblies.
Are perforated aluminum panels fire-rated?
Yes. InvisiPerf Metal are Class A fire-rated per ASTM E84, and because the face material is non-combustible, they are well suited for projects with strict fire or code requirements.
Are these panels hygienic?
Absolutely! InvisiPerf Metal is a non-porous, moisture-resistant, and easy to clean, making them perfect for healthcare, transportation, kitchens, cafeterias & public environments where hygiene and maintenance are critical.
How are perforated aluminum panels installed?
Installation varies by format:
- Ceiling tiles: Drop-in T-grid
- Ceiling panels: Direct attach or grid-supported
- Clouds and baffles: Suspended with cable systems or engineered frames
- Wall panels: Mechanical attachment or concealed rail systems
Detailed installation instructions and shop drawings are provided.
Can lights, sprinklers, and other utilities be integrated?
Yes. Panels can be factory- or field-cut to accommodate lighting, fire protection, HVAC systems and Wi-Fi devices. Coordination during design ensures penetrations do not compromise acoustic performance.
Are InvisiPerf acoustic panels suitable for humid environments?
Yes. These aluminum panels perform well in humid or temperature-variable interiors and are resistant to warping, swelling, or biological growth. Fasteners and finishes should be selected appropriately for the environment.
How do I clean perforated aluminum panels?
Routine cleaning involves wiping with a soft cloth and mild detergent. Avoid abrasive cleaners or tools that could damage the finish or clog perforations.
Are perforated aluminum panels sustainable?
Aluminum is highly recyclable, and many systems support low-VOC requirements. Sustainability documentation can be provided during specification to align with LEED certification and other project goals.
