Custom acoustic panel, printed in your colours.

Because it settles a real conflict: treating noise without degrading the look of a space. In a restaurant, a hotel lobby or an open-plan office, acoustics often come as an afterthought, with grey panels that people try to hide behind a plant or tuck into a corner. Printing flips the logic: the panel becomes an aesthetic statement, something you put on show rather than hide. Hung on its own above a banquette or run as a mural across a whole wall, it plays the part of acoustic wall art: a piece, unique or composed, that absorbs noise.

• Your brand, on display: logo, palette, product photos, a mural drawn for the space.
• Measured sound comfort: less reverberation, better speech intelligibility, less listening fatigue by the end of the day.
• Public-building compliance: B-s1,d0 fire rating, required in spaces open to the public.
• No loss of performance: printing does not clog the felt, absorption stays at NRC 0.85.

Printing is done digitally, straight onto the PET felt, in full colour. The principle fits in one sentence: the ink lands on the surface fibres without filling the pores that trap sound. It is that porosity that gives the panel its absorbing power, and we preserve it entirely. A conventional decorative canvas, by contrast, sits on a closed backing that reflects the waves: pretty, but tone-deaf.

Felt absorbs light differently from glossy paper. Tones come out a little more matte and deep, with a textile grain that gives them character. The finish is matte, with no glare: where a stretched canvas shines under spotlights, felt stays legible from every angle and under any lighting. Our designers anticipate this behaviour: they adjust the colour profile up front so that what you approve is what you receive. A flat brand colour, a gradient, a detailed photo all handle it very well, with a crisp, legible result even from a few metres away.

On the file side, the ideal is a vector or a high-resolution image at 300 dpi at final print size. No artwork to hand? We open up our image library: landscapes, textures, graphic patterns. Enough to compose acoustic mood wall art without tying up a designer.

Next comes the proof, the artwork sign-off. This is the step that separates a good surprise from a bad one. We send you a faithful preview within 24 to 48 hours: artwork set in place, dimensions, framing, logo position, cut line. You correct whatever you want, as many times as it takes, then approve in writing. Only from that point does manufacturing start. It is our way of guaranteeing that the panel on the wall matches the project in your head.

Everything starts from your project, not a fixed catalogue. On shapes: rectangle and square for a clean, modular look, hexagon for a honeycomb pattern you can run across a whole wall, circle and cloud to soften a space, wave to follow an architectural line, cut-out lettering to display a word or a name, or a fully free shape drawn from your logo. Digital cutting holds complex outlines with no ragged edges.

On sizes: made-to-measure, from a small module to large format, within the limits of manufacturing and transport. To dress a whole wall, we work by layout: several panels composed together, butted for a continuous mural or spaced for a graphic rhythm. You can also start from standard modules, for example 60 x 60 cm or 120 x 60 cm, if you are after a quick, easy-to-install result. Either way, the layout plan is approved on the proof before manufacturing.

This freedom serves two goals at once. Organic shapes and large formats maximise the absorbent surface, and therefore the effect on noise. And it is those same shapes that build the visual identity of the space. A wall of hexagons in the brand colours treats the acoustics and signs the space in the same gesture.

The head office. An entrance hall echoes, and it is the first impression a visitor or a candidate carries away. A large printed panel in the brand colours, set behind reception, breaks the reverberation and sets the tone from the threshold. Calm and image work together, on the same wall.

The video-conference room. A room that rings makes video calls painful for those dialling in, and the visual backdrop matters as much as the sound. A few printed panels at the reflection points make the voice clean on the mic side and offer a polished, branded background on the camera side. Two problems fixed at once.

The restaurant. The din drives customers away as much as it wears down the staff, but no one wants technical tiles on the ceiling of a carefully designed room. A printed mural on suspended baffles, or a signature wall, brings the sound level down while serving the decor. Guests stay longer and can hear each other speak.

The reception hall. Big volume, high ceiling, plenty of hard surfaces. It is the ideal ground for ceiling baffles, very effective in this kind of space, paired with a printed wall that sets the tone. The place gains in sound comfort and character at the same time, with no heavy building work.

Performance figures (NRC, fire rating) are documented and supplied with the order, ready for a public-building file or a design office. See our guarantees & technical proof.

A common question, and an essential distinction. Soundproofing stops noise from passing from one space to another, the neighbours, the street, the room next door: it lives in the mass of walls and glazing, and involves building work. Acoustic treatment, our field, reduces reverberation inside a room. Nine spaces out of ten that complain about noise fall under the second, not the first.

Our printed panels do acoustic treatment: they absorb sound reflections and improve comfort and intelligibility. If your room rings and conversations overlap, this is exactly what you need. To understand the difference in detail, and to size a project, see how many panels to plan for.
