Expert Advice

Acoustic panels are essential in restaurants, especially those with open-plan layouts, where managing sound is critical to creating a comfortable dining experience.

In open-plan restaurant designs, sound from conversations, clattering dishes, and background music can easily bounce off hard surfaces like walls, floors, and ceilings, creating excessive reverberation and noise levels. This often leads to a chaotic atmosphere where patrons struggle to hear one another, diminishing their overall experience. Acoustic wall panels provide an effective solution by absorbing sound waves, reducing echoes, and maintaining a pleasant sound environment. These panels can be installed on walls or as decorative elements that complement the restaurant’s interior design, allowing for both aesthetic appeal and acoustic control.

In addition to wall panels, acoustic baffles and rafts are particularly beneficial for restaurants with high ceilings or large, open dining spaces. Baffles, suspended vertically, and rafts, mounted horizontally, are designed to absorb sound from above, preventing it from amplifying across the room. This is especially useful in trendy, minimalist restaurant designs that often feature hard surfaces like concrete, glass, and metal, which exacerbate noise problems. By incorporating these acoustic solutions, restaurants can create distinct sound zones, ensuring that noise from busy areas, such as the kitchen or bar, does not overwhelm quieter dining sections. Beyond improving the acoustic environment, these treatments enhance the overall ambiance, encouraging longer stays and repeat visits by creating a space where patrons can enjoy their meals and conversations without unnecessary distractions. Acoustic panels, baffles, and rafts are not only functional but also available in a variety of stylish designs, making them a seamless addition to any restaurant’s aesthetic.

In addition to restaurants, 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, offices, and recording studios.
