Acoustic Insulation

Acoustic insulation means sound is prevented from travelling from room to room. This is an important feature for many workplaces as noise travel can disrupt concentration and work efficiency. It is also important to maintain confidentiality in meeting rooms and offices when appropriate.

Acoustic Absorption

Acoustic absorption deals with the reverberation of sound within a space. Sound will dissipate as it travels but reflects in a similar way to light. For example, someone’s voice may reverberate off a floor, ceiling or wall, causing it to echo. Softer materials will absorb some of this energy, which will help prevent an echoey environment.
