Acoustic panels aren't just for offices. They work anywhere a room sounds too loud.

What they actually do

A hard room bounces sound around. Plasterboard, glass, tile and timber all throw sound straight back at you. Our panels absorb it instead. They're rated NRC 0.85, which means they soak up about 85% of the sound that hits them. The room stops ringing. Voices get easier to follow. You stop raising your own voice without noticing.

The obvious places

Offices, meeting rooms, cafes, reception areas, classrooms and studios. Anywhere people talk over each other or a video call sounds like it's coming from inside a tin. We make wall panels, ceiling panels and tiles, hanging screens, desk-mounted and slide-on desk screens, wrap screens and frameless pinboards, so you can treat a room from the walls, the ceiling, the desks, or all three.

Just as good at home

This is the part people don't expect. The same panels that fix a boardroom fix a living room. Open-plan homes are full of hard surfaces and very little soft furnishing, so they echo. A wall of panels behind a bed, along a hallway or across the back of a home theatre changes how the whole space sounds. It also looks deliberate, like a design choice rather than a fix.
