Education, care and public spaces.

Colourway
Waiting area with wooden benches, acoustic walls in navy and light grey, and suspended ceiling islands

Where people learn, wait or receive care, every voice matters.

Classrooms, dining halls, waiting rooms and service counters see heavy use. Hard, easy-to-clean materials often make them noisy and restless places.

Common challenges

  1. 01A classroom where voices get lost

    In a classroom that echoes, the teacher has to speak louder, and those at the back find it harder to follow.

  2. 02A noisy dining hall or corridor

    Where many people gather at once, sound quickly builds up and lingers.

  3. 03A waiting room without privacy

    Everyone can hear conversations at reception or between people waiting.

  4. 04A service counter where you have to repeat yourself

    Behind glass and between hard walls, it is difficult to hear each other. That creates tension on both sides.

What helps

We reduce reverberation with materials on walls and ceilings, and gently divide areas where needed.

Durable acoustic wall elements, ceiling treatments in corridors and dining halls, freestanding elements in waiting areas.

We choose materials and finishes to suit the space, including its maintenance and safety needs, and are clear about what is possible.
