BASWA Natural
Seamless Acoustic System Made from Renewable Hemp and Flax Fibers
BASWA Natural is a natural, hemp and flax fiber based seamless acoustical plaster system applied directly to ceilings and walls to manage room acoustics. BASWA Natural achieves 51% less CO₂ per m².
With a flexible panel design, BASWA Natural can be used on domes, groin vaults, and complex curves as well at flat ceilings and walls. The system captures sound energy as it passes through the microporous, recycled marble finish and is absorbed into the randomly-spun natural fiber layer.
Panel thickness, finish texture, and color are all selected to meet the acoustic and visual requirements of a specific space. The sections below will guide you through these variables.
System Overview
BASWA Natural takes the established standards of seamless design versatility and acoustical performance of BASWA Phon and reimagines it with a natural fiber system panel. Ideal for residential and studio applications. See BASWA case studies >
Substrate & Flexibility
BASWA Natural follows a stable substrate, like standard drywall, concrete, or existing plaster. With a versatile finish options, BASWA Natural is the ideal acoustic system for spaces with flat or complex forms that demand sustainability-forward acoustic solutions made with natural materials.
Sustainability
BASWA Natural panels are made exclusively from hemp and flax fibers sustainably cultivated by regional farmers who adhere to strict environmental standards. Not only does hemp store massive amounts of CO2, but it is also quickly renewable and incredibly efficient. In addition to its carbon sequestration capabilities, it is naturally resistant to pests and can be grown without the use of pesticides. Hemp is durable, long-lasting, and mold and fire-resistant.
BASWA system finishes are produced from marble aggregate, a byproduct of stone extraction, and contain 93-95% recycled content. Free of LBC Red List materials.
