Less noise, more focus: acoustic solutions that earn their place

The hum of a printer. The echo of a conversation across the room. A call that carries three desks further than it should. Individually none of it matters; together it is the reason people say they cannot think in the office.

Acoustic products are the most cost-effective fix we specify. They need no building work, they can be installed in an occupied floor, and the difference is audible on the day.

What good acoustic products should offer

• Recycled content: quality PET felt is made from 100% recycled material
• A Class A sound absorption rating, independently tested
• Fire classification to BS EN 13501-1:2018 Class B, with minimal smoke and no flaming droplets
• A long guarantee — ten years is achievable on most panel products

A solution for every surface

Acoustic treatment works best when it follows the architecture rather than fighting it. Each product type does a specific job:

• Wall and hanging screens define a space and carry pattern, so they double as a design element
• Wall tiles offer a modular way to treat flat surfaces and add texture to a hard room
• Desktop screens give an immediate boundary for individual focus and clamp to standard 20–25mm panels
• Floor-standing screens divide open plan at up to 1800mm tall on sturdy felt feet
• Ceiling baffles manage sound vertically and stop noise bouncing off high ceilings

Colour, and how quickly you can have it

Panels are available in around ten colours, from a classic raven black to a buttercup yellow that changes the energy of a corner entirely. Because the products are made to order in Britain, typical delivery is five to ten working days — fast enough to add late in a programme when a floor turns out louder than the drawing suggested.

If noise is the complaint you hear most often, start there. It is usually the cheapest problem on the floor to solve.
