Acoustics that work: office acoustics

Contemporary office design prioritises space, light, and transparency. Open floors, concrete, glass, high ceilings, hard materials, visually striking, acoustically challenging.

Sound affects work more than we admit. Too much noise reduces concentration, increases stress and fatigue, complicates conversations and calls, and harms overall well-being.

IMPROVING OFFICE ACOUSTICS

Root causes are familiar: hard, reflective surfaces; large volumes with little absorption; too few soft elements to dampen sound. Add poorly defined work zones and you get an office that looks impressive but sounds exhausting. Solutions work best when combined:

• Create acoustic zones: in open plans, separate areas with acoustic walls, meeting pods, or absorptive panels so sound is controlled at the source.
• Integrate soft materials: carpets instead of hard floors, acoustic curtains, upholstered furniture, especially effective on higher frequencies.
• Install an acoustic ceiling: the structural fix that completes the picture. Why?

• Powerful absorption: up to αw 1.0, voices and background noise are strongly reduced.
• Seamless & aesthetic: a smooth, uninterrupted surface in any colour and finish.
• Hygienic & low-maintenance: no gaps for dust; no loose parts.
• Fire-safe & sustainable: meets strict fire standards and often eco-certified.

WORK IN STYLE

We hear you: you’ve invested in mood, colour, light, texture, then “acoustics” gets mentioned. Often associated with panels or grids that break your concept. Not with Icoustic. Our spray plaster is so subtle you don’t see it, only feel it: seamless, stylish, and fully aligned with your workspace interior.

INSTALLATION: FAST & EFFICIENT

Spray plaster is typically installed in a few days with minimal impact. No weeks of construction or closure. The result is permanent, no loose tiles or annual repairs.
