Kuuks

Black Ash

Black Ash is a Kuuks veneered slat panel that darkens straight-grained ash to near-black, with the grain still visible up close. Its MDF slats on a recycled PET felt base absorb sound and cut echo on walls and ceilings in dark-palette interiors.

Slats are 12mm veneered MDF, 27mm wide with 13mm spacing, in 2400mm or 2800mm lengths. The base is 7mm or 9mm GRS-certified recycled PET felt in black or grey. Slats and felt are classified B-s1,d0.

Where it works, fire rating and fitting

Your product questions, answered, for UK schools, offices and venues.

Where would I use Black Ash in a UK project?

It suits dark-palette briefs in bars, restaurants, theatres and studios, and in offices or reception areas that want timber texture rather than flat black. For a school, we assess the room against its BB93 target at the survey.

What fire classification does Black Ash have?

Kuuks classifies both the veneered MDF slats and the felt base as B-s1,d0 to EN 13501-1: limited contribution to fire, very low smoke, no flaming droplets. We check it against your building's fire strategy before ordering.

How is Black Ash fixed to a wall?

Slat panels on a felt base are usually fixed directly to a sound wall or to battens, on walls or ceilings. Our installation team confirms the right method for your surface, including plasterboard, at the survey and does the installation.

What are the Black Ash dimensions?

Slats are 12mm veneered MDF, 27mm wide with 13mm spacing, in 2400mm or 2800mm lengths. The PET felt base is 7mm or 9mm in black or grey, and the board is free of formaldehyde and pentachlorophenol.

How do I see a sample and decide how many panels?

Samples are available on request; allow a few working days. The quantity follows the acoustic need of the room, not wall area alone. A free site survey gives a quotation and an AI-assisted acoustic report to plan from.
