Acoustic Furniture
Sound is absorbed where people sit and talk, not only on the walls
Nothing fixed to the building, so it moves with you
The seating you already need can double as treatment
Contract upholstery must meet UK fire standards, so we check certification
Acoustic Furniture
Acoustic furniture builds sound absorption into upholstered seating and partition screens, treating a room without adding visible acoustic products. Acoustic furniture puts sound absorption where people actually sit and gather, rather than only on the walls around them — upholstered seating, partition screens and soft-sided dividers that do acoustic work without reading as equipment. Because the absorption is built into pieces a room needs anyway, this is often the simplest way to add treatment to public areas, waiting rooms and social lounges, where wall-mounted panels would compete with the interior design rather than support it. We specify pieces that do the acoustic work your space needs without fighting the interior design, then supply and install across the UK — get in touch for a free survey.

From first survey to final finish
One team handles all seven stages, the same way on every project, so you always know what happens next.
A surveyor visits the site, or works from your drawings and photos when a visit isn't practical. Either way, the room, its surfaces and how it is used are recorded before any advice is given.
Reverberation, ambient noise and noise transfer are read against what the space is used for. The findings arrive as a written report with recommendations, yours to keep with no obligation to proceed.
Treatment is modelled against a reverberation target, then drawn up with panel positions, fixings and finishes. Nothing moves forward until you have approved the design.
Every quotation comes with the specification behind it, listing products by type, quantity and finish with costs set out line by line. What is quoted is what the design calls for.
Panels, baffles, ceilings and screens come from our Acoustic Solutions range and are supplied to the approved specification. What arrives on site matches what was designed.
Our own engineers fit to the approved drawings, checking positions and fixings as they go. One team supplies and installs, so nothing is handed between contractors.
Optional: after fit-out the space can be measured again and compared with the original survey, so the improvement is measured rather than assumed. Results are reported against the relevant standards and the written record goes into your building file.
One contractor from first measurement to final sign-off
We work in a strict sequence. Each stage is verified before the next one begins.
Site Survey & Assessment
We listen to the problem and understand the space. You tell us what you hear and when it matters most.
Design & Quotation
An engineer visits the site and assesses the reverberation, noise transfer and how the space is used. You receive clear recommendations.
Supply &
Install
We specify the correct materials and plan the work around your operation. Nothing is left to chance.
Testing & Compliance
We fit the treatment cleanly with minimal disruption. Before-and-after measurement is available as an option.
Acoustic product FAQs: specification, performance and installation
Answers to the questions buyers ask most about this type of acoustic product.
Less per piece than a wall panel of similar size. The benefit is that absorption sits where people talk and needs no wall space. It works best as part of a plan alongside ceiling or wall treatment, not as the only fix in a large, hard room.
It depends on the range. Some pieces are designed for reupholstery and others are not. Confirm this against the manufacturer's specification before ordering, along with the fabric options and the fire certification required for any replacement fabric.
Yes, in commercial-grade ranges with wipeable, hard-wearing, fire-tested upholstery. Check the fabric's abrasion rating and cleaning method for your setting, because waiting rooms and receptions need a tougher specification than a quiet office lounge.
Freestanding screens can be repositioned as layouts change, while fixed screens suit permanent zoning and need floor fixing. We choose based on how often the space changes and on stability and safety, particularly in public areas.
In most cases, yes, although lead times are longer than for standard finishes. Contract upholstery must meet UK fire safety requirements, so a custom fabric needs the appropriate flammability certification for the finished piece.
