Custom Acoustic Panels: The Art of Sound and Design

The days of standard polyester acoustic panels, those unmistakable blocks on walls and ceilings, are swiftly fading into history. Today's designers, acoustic consultants, and hospitality venue owners are redefining acoustic management with custom acoustic panels that seamlessly blend aesthetics with cutting-edge acoustic performance. Enter a new era where acoustic treatment doesn't just perform - it inspires.

Moving Beyond Conventional Acoustic Solutions

Traditionally, acoustic panels served one primary function: sound absorption. Their appearance was an afterthought, leaving designers limited in creativity and customisation. The recent shift toward aesthetics-driven acoustics has introduced innovative materials and solutions, breaking away from the conventional polyester cores and generic looks.

Today, the design landscape embraces sustainability and innovation, with materials that deliver superior acoustic performance and stunning visual impact. No longer must designers sacrifice style for sound control; they now have solutions that enhance both.

Sustainable Materials Redefining Acoustic Performance

With sustainability becoming increasingly vital in construction and design, the acoustic market has evolved accordingly. Materials such as Acunic’s innovative polywoven 3D acoustic textiles exemplify this evolution, combining sustainability, aesthetics, and unmatched acoustic capabilities without the need for traditional absorptive cores.

Acunic Textiles: High Performance Meets Sustainability

Acunic acoustic fabrics represent a groundbreaking development in the acoustic textile industry. With sound absorption capabilities of up to 90% (an NRC of up to 0.9), these textiles eliminate the requirement for additional insulation. Their advanced 3D weaving technology provides powerful acoustic control and meets stringent environmental and health standards, containing no VOCs or allergens.

This innovation means that designers can confidently specify these textiles in sensitive environments such as healthcare facilities, education institutions, and hospitality venues, where health and safety standards are paramount.

Diverse Mounting and Framing Possibilities

The versatility of modern acoustic textiles like Acunic opens endless design opportunities. Beyond traditional wall mounting, designers can explore various installation techniques:

Snaptex and Kliptex Track Systems

These sophisticated track systems allow seamless integration of acoustic fabrics into any architectural space. They offer clean lines, easy installation, and the flexibility to customise panel shapes and sizes, enhancing both performance and design flexibility.

Ceiling Sails and Free-Standing Baffles

Ceiling sails and baffles bring acoustics to a new visual level. Ideal for open spaces, restaurants, hotels, and corporate environments, these solutions reduce noise and echo effectively without obstructing design aesthetics. Their suspended nature creates dynamic, sculptural installations that draw attention and serve practical sound control purposes.

Custom Acoustic Curtains

Curtains made from acoustic textiles provide excellent sound absorption while preserving a luxurious aesthetic. Ideal for hospitality and residential interiors, acoustic curtains enhance spaces both acoustically and visually, allowing designers to blend function with elegance effortlessly.

Acunic Fabric: Acoustic Innovation Without Compromise

Acunic acoustic fabric revolutionises the industry by performing effectively without needing an additional absorptive core. Engineered through advanced 3D polywoven technology and crafted from flame-resistant Trevira CS fabric, Acunic delivers exceptional sound absorption and superior fire resistance (Group 1 and Group 2 textiles according to Australian/New Zealand standards).

This material innovation significantly reduces installation complexity and improves sustainability by using fewer resources and materials in acoustic treatments.

Infinite Customization: Color, Design, and UV Printing

Acoustic design no longer needs to adhere to muted, neutral palettes. With Acunic textiles, designers can access unlimited color customization options without sacrificing acoustic performance or safety standards. Whether the project calls for bold and vibrant or minimalistic and subtle, these fabrics maintain their high-performance attributes.

Additionally, UV printing allows bespoke patterns, logos, and unique designs to be printed directly onto acoustic textiles, ensuring branding or aesthetic requirements are perfectly achieved, making Acunic ideal for corporate, commercial, and hospitality spaces.
