Middle Atlantic Wide Rule 2X2 Premium Berry - AUTT22SQWRLSMBRY

Middle Atlantic AUTT22SQWRLSMBRY Wide Rule Acoustic Wall Tile, 2x2, Berry

Overview

The Middle Atlantic AUTT22SQWRLSMBRY is a 2-foot by 2-foot acoustic wall tile from the TruTile Designs line, finished in Berry with a Wide Rule pattern. Built from 100% polyester PET felt at 9mm thick, it is designed for interior wall installations in control rooms, AV integration spaces, conference rooms, and operations centers where both sound management and visual environment quality matter. At 1.8 lbs per tile, it is light enough for straightforward wall mounting without heavy structural considerations, and its TAA-compliant construction makes it a viable option for government and federally funded facility projects.

This tile fits into the broader Middle Atlantic acoustic panel systems ecosystem, giving integrators a consistent product family for multi-zone deployments.

Key Features

• 2' x 2' (60.33 x 60.33 cm) format: The square format tiles directly onto standard drop-ceiling grid dimensions, simplifying layout math in grid-based rooms. No custom cutting required for typical installations.
• 9mm PET felt construction: At 9mm depth, the panel adds minimal protrusion from the wall surface — relevant in tight control rooms or corridors where equipment racks, cable runs, or door clearances are close to wall surfaces. PET felt provides mid- and high-frequency sound absorption without the brittleness or off-gassing concerns of fiberglass alternatives.
• 100% polyester (PET) material: Recycled polyester felt is dimensionally stable, does not shed fibers, and tolerates the temperature swings common in server-adjacent equipment rooms. It will not absorb moisture the way natural fiber panels can, reducing long-term maintenance concerns in spaces with HVAC fluctuation.
• Flame retardant rated: The material carries flame retardant properties — a code compliance requirement in commercial and government interior installations. Verify local fire code applicability, but this spec satisfies the baseline expectation for occupied commercial spaces.
• TAA compliant: Manufactured in compliance with the Trade Agreements Act, the AUTT22SQWRLSMBRY qualifies for GSA schedule purchases and federally funded facility projects where TAA compliance is a procurement gate.
• Berry colorway, Wide Rule pattern: The Wide Rule linear texture provides visual structure without being visually busy — appropriate for professional integration environments where wall treatments should recede rather than compete with display walls or rack systems. Berry provides a deliberate color accent option for branded or designed spaces.
• 1.8 lbs per tile: The low per-tile weight means standard drywall anchors handle the load without requiring blocking or structural backing. In a typical 10x10 wall coverage scenario (25 tiles), the total wall load is under 50 lbs — manageable on standard commercial drywall.
• No mounting hardware included: Hardware is not bundled with the tile. Plan your mounting hardware and installation supplies separately — adhesive strips, impaling clips, or Z-clips are the common approaches for PET felt panels of this format.

Integration & Compatibility

The AUTT22SQWRLSMBRY installs as a standalone wall tile or as part of a multi-tile acoustic treatment grid. Because mounting hardware is not included, integrators should specify compatible clip or adhesive systems rated for the panel weight and the substrate type (drywall, concrete, or CMU). The 2x2 format aligns with standard architectural grid modules, making it straightforward to combine with ceiling tiles, lighting grids, or other Middle Atlantic AV furniture and infrastructure elements in a cohesive room design. TAA compliance allows this product to be specified on government contracts without additional sourcing documentation beyond standard procurement records. Available internationally, so it can be specified on multi-site projects that include non-US facilities without triggering a product substitution.

For integrators working on acoustic panel projects, this tile pairs with other TruTile pattern and color options within the Middle Atlantic line to create multi-zone or multi-accent treatments from a single vendor relationship.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Is the AUTT22SQWRLSMBRY TAA compliant?

A: Yes. The AUTT22SQWRLSMBRY is TAA compliant, making it eligible for GSA schedule purchases and federally funded facility projects that require Trade Agreements Act compliance.

Q: Does the AUTT22SQWRLSMBRY come with mounting hardware?

A: No. Mounting hardware is not included with the AUTT22SQWRLSMBRY. You will need to source compatible mounting clips, adhesive systems, or impaling clips separately based on your wall substrate.

Q: What material is the AUTT22SQWRLSMBRY made from?

A: The tile is constructed from 100% polyester PET felt at 9mm thickness. PET felt is dimensionally stable, does not shed fibers, and resists moisture absorption better than natural fiber panels.

Q: Is the AUTT22SQWRLSMBRY flame retardant?

A: Yes. The AUTT22SQWRLSMBRY carries flame retardant properties, meeting baseline commercial and government interior installation requirements. Verify applicability against your local fire code.

Q: What are the exact dimensions of the AUTT22SQWRLSMBRY?

A: The tile measures 2 feet x 2 feet (60.33 x 60.33 cm) with a 9mm depth. It weighs 1.8 lbs (0.8 kg). Shipping dimensions are approximately 25.25 x 25.25 x 5 inches.

Q: Can the AUTT22SQWRLSMBRY be used outside the United States?

A: Yes. The AUTT22SQWRLSMBRY is available internationally and can be specified on multi-site or non-US facility projects without requiring a product substitution.

The AUTT22SQWRLSMBRY is something I get specified into control room and NOC buildouts more than you might expect — the 9mm PET felt profile keeps it nearly flush to the wall, which matters when you have cable management trays and rack equipment running close to wall surfaces. At 1.8 lbs per tile, the per-anchor load is trivial on standard commercial drywall, so there is no structural back-work required.

Technical Highlights:

• TAA Compliance: Government and DoD facility projects gate on this. The AUTT22SQWRLSMBRY passes that procurement check without any additional paperwork burden on the integrator.
• Flame Retardant PET Felt: Satisfies baseline commercial fire code for interior wall treatments — avoids the code-review friction that unrated decorative panels can trigger during final inspection.
• 9mm Profile at 1.8 lbs: Thin enough to avoid clearance conflicts with rack side panels and cable trays; light enough that standard adhesive or impaling-clip installs handle the load without wall blocking or backing plates.

Deployment Considerations:

• Mounting hardware is not included — budget for Z-clips, impaling clips, or construction adhesive appropriate to your substrate (drywall vs. CMU vs. concrete behave differently; specify accordingly before day-of-install).
• Berry is a deliberate accent color, not a neutral. Confirm with the client or facility designer before ordering at volume — returning or reordering acoustic tile after a color mismatch is a real project friction point.

The AUTT22SQWRLSMBRY fits best in purpose-designed operations centers, security monitoring rooms, and AV integration spaces where the specifier wants TAA-compliant acoustic treatment with a defined color palette — not a generic drop-in for every wall surface in a building.
