Recent studies show that many classrooms and school halls have poor acoustics. As a result, children with normal hearing are often unable to make out what is being said in class.

Poor acoustic conditions in the classroom increase the strain on teacher’s voices as most teachers find in difficult to cope with the high noise levels.  This often leads to throat problems due to prolonged use of the voice and the need to speak very loudly to be heard. 

Many classrooms and halls have hard floor, wall and ceiling surfaces.  Although these look nice and clinical , the hard surfaces bounce noise  around the room without dying away.  This leads to an amplification of the noise and make sound difficult to hear.  This places a strain on the teachers as well as the children as the result is a “din” as opposed to sound being clear and intelligible.

These are very popular in school classrooms , music rooms and corridors as they can be glue bonded to the existing ceilings without any major changes of existing surfaces. Therefore lights , etc. do not need to move as the panels are simply cut around the light fittings.  Also being a D.I.Y product , many schools have in house maintenance team who can easily fit these themselves , which saves  costs.  Being only 30mm thick  and lightweight , they do not reduce headroom height.  An added bonus is that they are pre decorated in a white colour hence no additional decoration is required.

Acoustic Clouds panels which are suspended from the ceiling at chosen suspension depth to absorb reverberant noise. These a particularly useful when there are services fixing do the existing ceilings such as pipes, conduits etc. These have the unique appearance of “Clouds” hanging from the ceiling. These are available in a very wide range of colours and can be colour co-ordinated to suit the classroom, dining hall or main assembly hall.

Sound Quality Walls acoustic panels are extensively used in schools where it is practical to apply acoustic panelling onto walls.
