Open-plan offices are designed to foster collaboration and communication, but they often suffer from excessive noise levels, making it difficult for employees to concentrate or hold private conversations. Acoustic wall panels play a key role in mitigating these issues by absorbing sound waves that would otherwise reflect off walls and other hard surfaces, reducing reverberation and creating a calmer acoustic environment. This is especially important in open spaces where sound travels easily, amplifying distractions and reducing productivity. Wall panels can be strategically installed in areas where noise levels are highest, such as near collaborative zones, to balance the soundscape and improve overall employee comfort.

In addition to wall panels, acoustic baffles and rafts are particularly effective in addressing noise issues in offices with high ceilings or large open areas. Baffles, which are vertically suspended from ceilings, and rafts, which are mounted horizontally, absorb sound from above, preventing it from bouncing across the space. This is especially useful in open-plan offices where traditional walls and partitions are minimal. These treatments help to create sound zones, reducing noise spillover from one area to another, such as between quiet workstations and more active collaboration areas. Beyond their functionality, acoustic panels, baffles, and rafts are available in a wide range of colours, textures, and shapes, allowing them to enhance the visual appeal of the office while creating a more acoustically balanced environment. By incorporating these elements, offices can strike a balance between the openness needed for collaboration and the quiet required for focus and privacy.

In addition to offices, we design and install acoustic panelling for a wide range of environments including meeting rooms, libraries, lecture halls, hotels, homes, gyms and fitness studios, conference rooms, classrooms, church halls, cafés, village halls, swimming pools, sports halls, recording studios, and restaurants.
