Decorative Acoustic Screens – Functional Art for Modern Interiors
Hanging carved screens by Sontext combine acoustic performance with laser-cut detailing to create flexible room dividers, wall features, and suspended panels.
Hanging Carved Acoustic Screens
Decrasound Acoustiscreen Carved Panels are precision-cut acoustic screens designed to reduce reverberation while enhancing architectural aesthetics. These lightweight panels are manufactured from dense polyester fibre suspended from ceilings or framed as wall-mounted features, dividers, or free-hanging installations. Ideal for open offices, education spaces, lobbies, and hospitality venues, they soften noise while maintaining airflow and visibility.
Each panel is produced using CNC or laser-cut technology, allowing for intricate patterns, ranging from geometric to organic designs. Available in a variety of colours, thicknesses, and sizes, Acoustiscreen Carved Panels can be customised to suit the interior design intent of any commercial or institutional space.
These panels function as acoustic treatments and as decorative partitions, defining zones without the need for solid walls. They are suitable for retrofit or new builds, offering Group 1 fire performance, low-VOC credentials, and a clean, modern finish. Panels are easy to install, relocate, or replace as needed.

Tested Acoustic Performance Across Frequencies
DecraSound Polyester Fibre Panels have been independently tested in N.A.T.A registered laboratories using a reverberation chamber. The table below shows their sound absorption coefficients at different frequencies, based on panel thickness and mounting method. Results confirm that both 12mm and 24mm panels—especially when installed with an air gap—achieve high performance in mid-to-high frequency ranges. This makes them ideal for spaces requiring effective speech clarity and echo reduction.
