Polyester Fibre Acoustic Panels

Sontext Polyester Fibre Acoustic Panels are a lightweight, sustainable solution for managing noise in schools, offices, hospitality venues, and public spaces. Manufactured from high-density polyester with up to 80% recycled content, these panels deliver strong acoustic performance while offering flexibility in colour, shape, and installation method.

DecraSound Polyester Fibre and printed panels have been tested in N.A.T.A registered laboratories using a reverberation chamber. The results demonstrate their effectiveness in absorbing sound based on thickness and mounting method. This proven performance makes them suitable for wall and ceiling applications in various commercial and institutional settings.

Each panel, regardless of size, is manufactured to a high standard, enhancing both acoustic comfort and interior décor. Whether used in a boardroom, classroom, or open-plan office, these panels provide a visually appealing and eco-conscious way to control unwanted sound levels. Available in various colours and profiles, they integrate easily with architectural finishes.

It’s important to clean polyester fibre panels periodically to maintain their look and performance. Regular maintenance—such as light vacuuming or a damp cloth wipe—will help preserve their appearance and acoustic integrity in high-traffic environments.

Acoustiscreen in Office Fitout

Installed in boardrooms, open-plan offices, and meeting rooms for acoustic comfort.

12mm and 24mm Acoustiscreen panels reduce mid-frequency reverberation and improve speech clarity for teleconferencing. Mounted using concealed fixings or Z-clips to suit aesthetic requirements.

Acoustiscreen in Public Hall

Enhances speech intelligibility in halls, foyers, libraries and civic centres.

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.
