Silent light
Unwanted noise can be unpleasantly amplified, disruptive, or lead to mental tension, poor acoustics can interfere with communication and concentration. With a significant range of colours, thicknesses and shapes, acoustic lighting is becoming increasingly popular with lighting designers, interior designers, and architects. Not just for its sound absorbing qualities but how it can enhance the appearance of a space, adding colour and design for a creative feature.
Spaces with high reverberation qualities will considerably amplify audible noises. A home, office, or classroom without being acoustically designed will on average have a higher decibel (dB) value ‘more noise’. PET acoustic panelling is the first choice for sound absorption, combined with LED lighting makes for a decorative, functional alternative to an acoustically designed space.

Besides the obvious sound absorption benefit, PET acoustic panels are made from recycled PET – plastic bottles, reducing landfill and a sustainable solution to unwanted waste. Equally beneficial traits for PET acoustic panels are its mould resistant, flame resistant, and heat insulation properties, for safety and comfort.

Concert halls, while specifically designed to deliver exceptional sound quality, will also employ simple suspended reflectors to direct sound to desired areas. A similar approach can be used for sound absorption using materials that minimise sound reflection. Acoustic material is rated by a series of 6 absorption coefficients 125, 250, 500, 1000, 2000 and 4000 Hz.
