Open-plan floor: calls and conversations carry between desks

Finishes that read as architecture, not corporate equipment

Offices need acoustic treatment for focus, calls and privacy
Good treatment fixes this without closing the space back up. By absorbing sound at the ceiling, on walls and between desks — and adding masking where speech privacy genuinely matters — you bring noise down to a level where people can actually focus, take a call, and think without straining to block everything else out.
Modern offices are built to look open and collaborative — glass partitions, hard ceilings, exposed structure — and every one of those surfaces reflects sound instead of absorbing it. By mid-afternoon that adds up to a wall of noise: conversations carrying three desks over, meeting rooms echoing, video calls bleeding into the person next to you who's trying to concentrate on something else entirely.

How we approach
Offices
We know an open-plan office is noisy in a specific way — no real privacy, constant background chatter, glass and hard ceilings that reflect everything back. Fixing an open floor isn't the same job as fixing a meeting room: one needs ceiling absorption and vertical screens, the other needs isolation and sound masking on top.
One contractor, start to finish
Survey, design, installation and testing all handled in-house — no subcontractors, no handoffs between suppliers. One team stays accountable for the result, from the first site visit to the final sign-off.
Designed to a target
Every space gets an acoustic design modelled to a specific reverberation target, not a standard panel layout. Before-and-after measurement is available as an option, so the improvement can be proven, not just felt.
Specified against BS ISO 22955:2021 and WELL
Office acoustics are measured against BS ISO 22955:2021, the standard for office acoustics, and the Sound section of the WELL Building Standard that many landlords now ask for.
Independent on materials
We source from several manufacturers and are tied to none, so we specify what your space and budget actually need, not what one catalogue stocks.
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.
What We Offer
Offices
Need expert acoustic advice?
Our acoustic design service includes detailed CAD drawings with wall elevation renderings, precise product placements, specifications, and verified performance ratings — all provided with every quotation.
We provide remote acoustic proposals using client drawings and photographs. Each proposal includes accurate product recommendations and detailed quotations for supply and installation, saving time without compromising precision.
We provide complimentary NTI RT60 testing to measure reverberation times and assess acoustic performance before and after treatment. This service ensures precise product specification and demonstrates measurable improvements in clarity and comfort.
For projects with complex acoustic requirements, we provide a comprehensive audit package that includes detailed site testing and analysis. This chargeable service is fully credited if we're contracted to deliver the acoustic treatments.
Trusted on schools, venues and landmark halls
How we reduce the noise
We combine ceiling absorption, wall panels and desk-height screens to bring open-plan noise down, adding sound masking where speech privacy in meeting rooms matters most.
One team surveys, designs and installs — nothing gets lost between contractors
Every install is measured and tested against the target spec before we call it done
Not tied to one manufacturer, so the product is chosen for your space, not our stock

Acoustic treatment FAQs: standards, finishes and installation
Straight answers about treating a space like this, including the standards that apply and how the work is done.
Design the acoustics around activity types rather than one target for the whole floor. BS ISO 22955:2021 sets different conditions for focused work, collaboration, calls and confidential conversation, and points to Class A ceiling absorption as the main control. We specify treatment against your floor's actual mix of activities.
Yes. We regularly work on occupied floors in the evenings, at weekends or one section at a time, so the office does not have to empty. Noisy or dusty tasks are scheduled out of hours, and we agree access and protected areas with your facilities team first.
It can support it. WELL v2 includes a Sound concept, and every certified project starts with a sound map. Treatment helps you meet the sound features you choose, but certification depends on the whole project and its assessor. We can specify against the Sound requirements your building targets.
Treat the finishes as part of the interior design. Panels, baffles and screens come in design-led colours, textures and shapes, and can be colour-matched or printed to your scheme. Ceiling treatment often disappears into the architecture completely, which suits a modern fit-out.
Yes. We provide CAD drawings for your design team's information pack and sequence installation around the main contractor's programme. Coordinating early with ceiling, lighting and services layouts avoids clashes on site and re-work later.
