Panel Type P4TT - Technical Specification

Manufacturing Tolerances	Inert Core - Calcium Sulphate
Manufacturing Tolerances	P4TTM Medium	P4TTH Heavy
Length/width 600mm Thickness 29mm Concavity/convexity Twist Diagonal difference	± 0.2mm ± 0.2mm max 0.4mm max 0.4mm max 0.4mm	± 0.2mm ± 0.2mm max 0.4mm max 0.4mm max 0.4mm

Panels are manufactured within dimensions and tolerances on fully automated production lines with regular testing and inspection taking place at every stage of the production process. This is an important factor during construction projects as consistency of product quality promotes problem free installation.

Directives on behaviour in case of fire are concerned with two main issues Fire Reaction (no flame transmission, no fire load contribution) and Fire Resistance (mechanical resistance, emission of poisonous smoke, insulation of temperature). The ratings are intended to grant due time for full evacuation of buildings in the event of a fire hazard. Mechanical resistance and surface temperature are therefore significant factors.

Noise Reduction	Inert Core - Calcium Sulphate
	P4TTM Medium	P4TTH Heavy
	ISO 140-12 bare panels without acoustic barriers
Part 9 - airborne noise. ISO 717-1 Dn₁ f₁ W Part 6 - impact noise. ISO 717-2 Ln₁ W	44dB 67dB	44dB 67dB

Noise levels contribute to personal stress in the workplace. Consequently, it is important that floor panels perform well to absorb noise in order to avoid potential health problems for building occupants.

Environmentally Friendly	Inert Core - Calcium Sulphate
	P4TTM Medium	P4TTH Heavy
	All panels within the range can be considered as environmentally friendly. Firstly, during the production process, more than 85% of production waste is recycled. The inert core is produced from fully recyclable components. Glue used is water-soluble and the steel supplier recycles all scrap.
