Reception Areas

Reception areas are the first impression for any business or organisation — but they are also prone to echo and background noise due to hard finishes and open layouts. Sontext acoustic panels help reduce reverberation and improve speech clarity while maintaining design impact in foyers, lobbies, and waiting areas.

Common Acoustic Issues in Reception Spaces

  • High ceilings and glass surfaces reflect sound
  • Conversations become unclear or difficult to hear
  • Noise spills into adjacent meeting rooms or workspaces

Sontext Panel Options for Reception Areas

  • Acoustic Art Panels: Combine noise control with branding, photography, or visual features
  • Fabric Panels: Soft-finish acoustic panels in colours that match your interior design
  • Timber Panels: Murano slotted or perforated panels for a premium natural look

Tailored to Your Design and Acoustics

All panels are custom-manufactured in size, finish, and fixing type. Choose from a wide range of colours, surface patterns, or printed graphics to complement the style of your reception or foyer space.

Acoustic Panels improve listening in Foyer areas

First impressions count of course, and most commercial enterprises go to some effort to ensure visitors are at ease and treated cordially when entering their premises. A quiet, efficient and smartly decorated front office can leave a positive impression on potential customers, traders and other visitors.

It is also an opportunity to visually display messages and images of the business in which an enterprise operates, such as its logos and its aspirations. The foyer décor can even reflect the company style.

Reducing Noise In Receptions

Sontext understands that high background noise can affect how people experience a space. That’s why we offer acoustic panels that reduce noise while also creating a strong first impression.

Our Serenity Acoustic Panels provide excellent sound absorption and are available in a range of colours and patterns. They can also be printed with logos or images to become Acoustic Art Panels. For a natural timber look, our Murano Perforated Timber Panels offer a refined and stylish finish.

Both ranges are suitable for wall or ceiling use and can be easily installed in new or existing foyers and reception areas.
