Oblong

Oblong is Rotund's rectilinear sibling — the same felt, the same modular logic, cut into elongated capsule tiles instead of circles. Set on the diagonal across a wall, a field of Oblong panels reads like a piece of parametric art; scaled down and mounted on legs, the identical tile becomes a freestanding screen that breaks an open office into human-sized zones without boxing anyone in.

Because the panel is symmetric on both axes, installers can rotate individual tiles to vary the pattern without needing handed parts, which keeps site installation quick. The felt itself is a working sound absorber, not just a graphic device, making Oblong a practical choice anywhere long sightlines and hard floors are amplifying noise.

Diagonal-set tiling turns a plain wall into a geometric acoustic surface using a single repeating shape.

The same tile mounts on a freestanding leg base to divide open-plan floors without full-height partitions.

Symmetric geometry means any tile can be rotated on site to vary the pattern — no left/right parts to track.

Our installation team handles the full fitting process across the UK. Each Cube is suspended using a standard cable system with adjustable drop lengths. We provide a complete fixing specification for your contractors.

Oblong performs equally as a wall treatment for reception and meeting areas or as a stand-alone divider screen for desking zones and circulation routes, giving specifiers one component to cover two different briefs.

We recommend checking a physical sample before specifying, so you can verify the colour and texture against your interior scheme. Ask us about samples for this product.

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.
