Expert Advice

Acoustic panels are essential for swimming pools, where the combination of large open spaces, high ceilings, and hard, reflective surfaces such as tiles and water creates a highly reverberant environment.

The constant noise of splashing water, voices, and whistles can quickly build up, making it difficult for swimmers, instructors, and spectators to communicate effectively. This excessive reverberation also amplifies noise levels, creating a chaotic and stressful atmosphere. Acoustic wall panels help mitigate these issues by absorbing sound waves that would otherwise bounce off the walls, reducing echoes and lowering overall noise levels. Placed strategically around the pool area, these panels improve speech clarity, making it easier for instructors to give directions and for lifeguards to issue safety commands.

In addition to wall panels, acoustic baffles and rafts are particularly beneficial for swimming pools with high ceilings, which tend to amplify sound. Suspended baffles, hanging vertically from the ceiling, and rafts, mounted horizontally, absorb sound from above, preventing it from reverberating throughout the space. These treatments are especially effective in managing the complex acoustics of pool areas, where sound reflects not only from the walls and ceiling but also from the water’s surface. By combining wall panels with baffles and rafts, swimming pools can significantly improve acoustic comfort, creating a safer and more enjoyable environment for both participants and staff. Additionally, modern acoustic solutions are designed with materials that can withstand the humid and chlorinated atmosphere of a pool, ensuring durability while enhancing the aesthetic appeal of the space. This combination of functionality and resilience makes acoustic panels a vital investment for optimizing the acoustic and environmental quality of swimming pool facilities.

In addition to swimming pools, 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, sports halls, offices, recording studios, and restaurants.

Benefits of acoustic panelling solutions in Swimming Pools

Reduced Echo and Reverberation

Acoustic panels absorb sound reflections caused by hard surfaces like water and tiles, ensuring a quieter, more pleasant atmosphere.

Improved Communication

Clearer acoustics make it easier for lifeguards, instructors, and swimmers to hear instructions, announcements, and safety signals.

Enhanced Safety

By reducing noise distractions, acoustic panels ensure critical sounds, such as emergency whistles or alarms, stand out and are immediately noticeable.

Comfortable Environment

Balanced sound levels create a more enjoyable space for swimmers, spectators, and staff, reducing the overwhelming noise often found in busy pool areas.

Multipurpose Use

Better acoustics make the pool area suitable for a wider range of activities, such as aquatic fitness classes or group lessons, without excessive noise interference.

Modern Aesthetic Appeal

Acoustic panels can be designed to withstand the humid environment of a pool while adding a polished, professional look to the space.
