From German designer Bernd Benninghoff, Grain brings the outdoors in with an acoustic wall panel that combines organic contours found in nature and subtle depth created with v-grooves that play up light and shadow. Installation is a breeze, while color options are endless. Pair over ninety colors of pure wool felt with three shades of grey substrate, or add a second layer of felt for endless color combinations.

Installation Install in the pattern as specified and attach to a wall surface using a heavy-duty construction adhesive. Tiles may be trimmed to size with a utility knife. Refer to Grain Installation Instructions for complete guidance.
Maintenance Vacuum occasionally to remove general air-borne debris. Should soiling occur, spot clean with mild soap and lukewarm water. Avoid aggressive rubbing as this can continue the felting process and change the surface appearance of the felt. Refer to Product Maintenance and Cleaning Guide for detailed care instructions.
Variation Wool felt is a natural material and color variation and inclusions of natural fiber on the surface are evidence of the 100% natural origin of the material. Product color is only indicative, as it is not possible to assure consistency of color in a natural product due to the natural color of raw wool and absorption of dyes. Color matching cannot be guaranteed between individual panels and expect color variation beyond the normal commercial range.
