Acoustic Panels with FUTURECEM

Troldtekt acoustic panels based on FUTURECEM™ combine cement-bonded wood wool with a reduced-carbon cement technology. By replacing traditional grey cement with FUTURECEM, the panels maintain their established acoustic, fire-safe and durable performance, while achieving a significantly lower environmental impact.

FUTURECEM is a cement type developed by Aalborg Portland that uses calcined clay and limestone filler to replace a large share of conventional cement clinker. As clinker production is responsible for a substantial part of the carbon footprint of traditional cement, this approach results in a reduction of around 30% in CO₂ emissions at cement level. When applied in Troldtekt panels, this leads to a life-cycle carbon footprint that is up to 40% lower compared to panels based on standard grey cement.

The panels are made from cement-bonded wood wool, combining certified wood fibres with cement to provide sound absorption, structural stability and fire resistance. Depending on thickness, surface structure and installation method, the panels can achieve high levels of sound absorption, making them suitable for acoustically demanding environments such as schools, offices, cultural buildings and residential interiors.

Troldtekt panels based on FUTURECEM can be used on ceilings and walls and are available in a range of finishes and colours. Painted panels may appear slightly darker than equivalent colours on panels based on traditional white cement, while unpainted FUTURECEM panels show natural colour variation due to the wood content. Environmental Product Declarations are available, providing transparent life-cycle data to support material selection in sustainable building projects.
