Nest-In

Nest-In is a quilted, square-gridded felt panel that behaves like an upholstered wall — soft-edged squares tessellate across the surface with rounded, tufted corners, giving a waiting area or lounge the tactile warmth of a padded headboard at building scale. Deployed as a full wall, as seen in this teal installation behind a reception seating area, it turns a functional waiting zone into something closer to a considered lounge interior.

The quilted geometry isn't just visual — the raised square cells and recessed seams create multiple depths across the panel face, which helps break up reflected sound in exactly the kind of hard-floored, hard-ceilinged waiting rooms and corridors where echo is most noticeable.

Quilted, tufted-corner geometry gives hard-floored waiting and lounge areas the tactile feel of upholstery at wall scale.

Multiple surface depths across each cell help scatter reflected sound, not just absorb it flatly.

Drop-in tile format allows the same panel to be used across wall and grid-ceiling applications.

Acoustic product FAQs: fitting, quantities, fire rating and care

Answers to the questions buyers ask most about acoustic products.

Are acoustic products easy to install?

Most acoustic products are designed for straightforward installation, but the method depends on the product and the surface it fixes to. Our own team handles the full fitting, so panels, baffles and other products are positioned correctly and secured to suit your wall or ceiling.

How is the quantity of acoustic products calculated?

From your room's volume, surfaces and measured reverberation time, compared with the target the room has to meet. We calculate the coverage in the free acoustic survey, so you order the amount that reaches the target instead of guessing from floor area.

What fire rating do acoustic products have?

It varies by product, so we check the rating for the exact item before specifying it. Wall and ceiling linings in the UK are now assessed on the Euroclass scale (BS EN 13501-1), and many commercial projects specify B-s1,d0. We provide the fire certification for each product on request.

Can acoustic products be made in different colours?

Yes. Most ranges come in a wide choice of fabric, felt and finish options, and some can be colour-matched or printed. We send physical samples so you can check colour and texture against your interior scheme in your own lighting.

How do you clean and maintain acoustic panels?

Most need very little. A light vacuum with a soft brush, or a wipe with a damp cloth where the finish allows, is usually enough. Wipeable and washdown products are available for kitchens, healthcare and industrial settings, and we confirm the cleaning method for the product you choose.
